Online bidding, personalised mini-catalogue, videos on demand and RSS feed
Press release - In a bid to keep upgrading its service to purchasers and vendors alike, ARQANA is proud to launch several new features for the forthcoming August Yearling Sale.
• Personalised mini-catalogue
This groundbreaking service will save buyers some precious time in the elaboration of their short-lists. On the online catalogue page they can select their favorite lots in just one click, and use this online short-list to download: o Their personalised mini-catalogue, comprising of the pedigrees of the selected lots in PDF format. Very handy to print out or share with clients via email. o An optimal viewing order in order to inspect their selection in as little time (and distance!) as possible.
Buyers who wouldn’t be able to travel to the sale will from now on have the possibility to bid live via the website www.arqana.com. Obviously this service won’t replace the advice of a professional attending the sale but it can act as a supplementary tool to help customers get involved in the sale even when they cannot attend. It will be launched at the August Yearling Sale and remain for all subsequent sessions at both Deauville and Saint-Cloud.
Anyone who wishes to bid online will simply need to fill in the online registration form, which will enable him/her to receive his/her personal login and password as well as to request a license to bid online from ARQANA. Once this license has been granted, he/she can log on to its personal area at anytime during the sale to watch the live video and place bids. From a judicial as well as an accounting point of view, all online purchases are treated like purchases on the sales grounds.
- Yearling videos on demand
In an attempt to facilitate communication between buyers who can't make it to Deauville and their representatives at the sales, ARQANA is offering a complimentary filming service. A professional cameraman will be available from Thursday 13 August to film inspections on demand. The resulting video will be made available to the client through a link that will be emailed to him/her within half an hour of the filming session. DVDs of these videos can also be ordered.
