Our team will work with you to determine what services best fit your sale's needs and budget.

  • Pre-sale marketing. You can hire the best auctioneer, rent the fanciest venue, have the best stock, but without proper marketing to potential buyers your results will be lackluster. SSA offers an in-house marketing team and has professional agreements with some of the best marketing minds in the country that we can utilize when the need arises. More buyers are great, but better buyers deliver the dollars. Call us and we'll explain how to get better buyers to your sale.

This assures that details are covered, and your buyers experience is one that makes them want to come back again.

Full Digital Production Capability

If you can dream it, it's likely we can produce it.

  • Stock Show Stream. A great source of additional revenue is hosting a professional livestream for your stock show. StockShowAuctions.com can professionally livestream, record and broadcast through multiple social media channels your entire stock show. Our graphics team will design custom graphics that will showcase your sponsors while your show reaps the financial benefit.
  • Produced Auction Preview. Our livestock marketing team will come to your farm, video and photo your sale lots, capture narration and produce a high-quality video that can be fed to social media channels or your website. Each individual lot will be loaded onto the actual sale lot of the SSA site so buyers can begin their review days ahead of the actual auction. While at your farm our team can shoot photos, video and conduct interviews that can be produced into short commercials that tell your farm's story.
  • Live Auction Preview. Many sales, especially consignment sales, like to do a livestream preview of the live auction offering within 24 hours of the auction. SSA has the unique ability to feed the auction preview through each consignor's social media page. This not only increases the number of potential buyers that will see your auction's offering but will target buyers that already enjoy a relationship with your consignors.
  • Multi-Camera Scenes. We live in a world of 144 characters and 30 second video attention spans. A single camera angle for an auction that last several hours does not hold buyers attention nor does it showcase your stock. Buyers want to see the stock from multiple angles and that is how we will sell them. Your SSA sale will have the animal on the screen 92% of the time they are on the block. Our closest competitor pulls in at 43%.
  • Sub-Second Action. Few platforms require split second communications over an internet connection like an auction. SSA provides sub-second streaming for your online buyers. Put simply, when the auctioneer change the bid, your online bidder will hear it not 3 to 10 seconds later or after the lot has been sold.
  • Experienced Production Staff. We don't send you the equipment and expect you to figure out how to make it work. We bring the equipment and the staff to make your auction ring the record bell. Our staff knows what will work and what will not and how to best showcase your stock.
  • Data Preservation and Storage. Have you ever thought "I wish I had a video when that animal sold." StockShowAuctions.com records up to eight cameras of your auction, not just what is on the screen. The recordings can be used to produce videos or ads for your farm or next auction. All sale data including buyer information, bid history, invoicing and payment is held by SSA for you for no less than two years after your auction.
