Did you ever go to an auction only to find that there were very few items you wanted to bid on?
Not only is this a disappointing experience, it also does not bode well for the fundraising success of the event.
It is important for you to target those items which your key bidders will take an instant interest in. How do you do this? You can ask your biggest supporters what type of items most interest them. Don’t ask non-bidders as their point of view will be of little value.
What items might be most able to pique the interest of your attendees? Trips and consumable products which do not have to be stored for long periods of time are always a plus.
Success is two-fold:
- Items which your charity supporters will excitedly bid on and…
- Those items which will bring in the highest bids possible.
