Stamp of the Day at StampAuctionNetwork
What is Stamp of the Day?
“Stamp of the Day” is a feature that highlights a single lot on StampAuctionNetwork.com, giving your auction maximum visibility. Originally sold weekly, it is now offered daily through a dynamic, auction-style placement system, similar to “pay-for-placement” models used by Google and other platforms.
How Does It Promote My Auctions?
- Features your lot prominently, including an image, description, and link to your sale.
- Highlights your auction firm’s profile to increase exposure and participation.
- It can promote upcoming lots or showcase prices realized from past sales.
How It Works
- Your lot appears in the Stamp of the Day slider, which rotates every 5 seconds.
- The top five bids are displayed, and your ranking determines placement.
- Bids are based on impressions. Only the first impression per visitor counts, and automated traffic (spiders) is excluded.
- Minimum bid: $0.01 per impression.
- Billing is monthly, starting with an initial $500 credit.
- Bidders pay slightly more than the next lower bid; ties go to the earlier bid.
- Promotions: currently 20% off for the top bidder, scaling to 90% off for the fifth place.
- You can set daily or monthly budgets; listings stop automatically once your budget is exceeded.
- Change your lot or bid as often as you like.
Requirements
- Lot must be running as a dynamic bid or live bid auction at StampAuctionNetwork.
- Lot must have an image with a minimum resolution of 150 pixels wide. (Recommended image size: 250–500 pixels.)
Getting Started
