Six Steps You Can Take
Make sure you invite people who are familiar with your organization. They will most probably be good bidders who will add excitement to the bidding action.
- Do a historical analyzation of the most successful bid items at your past auction events.
Ensure that similar items are included in your current bid packages. - Does your venue offer amenities to make your guests feel welcome and excited to attend? Ample parking/valet, friendly registration services upon arrival, easy access of bartending services.
- Is the sound system clear and sufficient for ease in the bidding process.
- Hire the services of a professional charity auctioneer who will add excitement to your event and encourage bids from the audience.
