Getting the Most From Your Benefit Auction
04/15/2009 - Morristown, NJ
Want to maximize revenue and reduce stress at your fundraising auction? Join Auctionpay to learn how to achieve higher revenue, avoid pitfalls, and streamline processes for maximum results.
Please join Auctionpay's event consultant Siri Lippy to learn the tips, tricks, and strategies learned at hundreds of benefit auctions. You'll also get the best practices from thousands of Auctionpay clients-without the stress of thousands of auctions!
Lou Mercurio of Mercurio Associates Communications Design will discuss the challenges related to publicizing your mission and its value.
At this seminar, you will learn:
- Strategies for succeeding in a fragile economy
- How to streamline the auction preparation process
- How to procure the best items for each auction element-online, silent, and live
- Where to spend your auction budget to maximize revenue
- How to achieve smooth event flow from check-in to check-out
This seminar will feature a case study from Carol-Jeanette Jorgensen, Vice President of Julia's Butterfly Foundation. She'll discuss how adopting an Auctionpay solution and using Auctionpay night-of-event services erased many of the headaches surrounding procurement, check-in and check-out, and follow up after the event. Carol-Jeanette will also review how Auctionpay helped her more efficiently leverage Board involvement in the event.
