MarkNet Alliance Hits 10 Year Mark Growing Auction Businesses
Nokomis, Illinois (PRWEB) June 05, 2017 -- A decade of continued commitment and success has enabled MarkNet Alliance to provide its franchise companies a clear path to business growth and increased market share in the auction industry. MarkNet online auction software combined with a solid network of auction experts and industry leaders continues to be an invaluable combination for franchise owners.
Founded by auctioneers Kurt Aumann, J.J. Dower and Chris Pracht, MarkNet Alliance began with just a handful of member companies in May 2007. The network of auction companies now has nearly 60 auction companies, including in the United States and South Africa.
MarkNet provides leading edge technology to members, including online auction software, multi-parcel online bidding software, project management software and mobile cataloging software.
“Since the inception of MarkNet, we continually work to provide the leading technologies to our franchise companies,” says President and Chairman of the Board Kurt Aumann, CAI, AMM, CES.
Yet MarkNet Alliance differentiates itself from online auction software providers by offering franchise owners the opportunity to be part of a larger auction company than they would be on their own. This combined effort allows MarkNet companies to provide exceptional results for sellers and a positive buying experience for bidders.
“Member auctioneers constantly network and reach out to their colleagues in MarkNet to combine expertise and resources to take their businesses to the next level,” says Director Chris Pracht, CAI, AARE, CES.
MarkNet Alliance companies have a track record of growing 13 percent on average each year after joining MarkNet.
“These are real numbers,” said Chief Executive Officer Matt Corso, CAI, CES. “These are the kind of numbers that make a difference in an auctioneer’s business. We’re past talking about theory and comparing ourselves to other companies. We are simply showing auction companies how to grow their businesses.”
MarkNet Alliance started with 10 auction companies coming together in 2007, and there was a simple vision at that time that they were stronger together than apart. Those companies were combining for about 80 auctions per month. There were no other stats in 2007, just the thought that the companies would be stronger together. In 2017 there are almost 60 auction companies conducting 500 auctions per month with an online bidder list of 450,000 users and gross sales of $1 billion per year.
“It is in the strength and power of the network of industry-leading auctioneers, that our members find the momentum needed to grow their businesses each year,” says Chief Financial Officer and Director J.J. Dower, CAI, AARE, AMM.
MarkNet Alliance is a national franchise of auction companies with proven track records and thriving businesses. The MarkNet model focuses on making local and regional auction companies even more successful by offering technology resources, online auction software, networking opportunities and educational training for auctioneers and staff. Members of the alliance conduct over 6,000 auctions and sold over $1 billion in assets annually.
