Maximizing Live and Silent Auction Revenue

Are you holding a benefit auction and want to ensure a well-orchestrated event that delivers greater giving from guests? Benefit auctions are time and resource intensive. However, there are ways to streamline your event planning process and day-of-event activities that will maximize staff resources, save you time, and further reward you with increased revenue.

Join our benefit event expert for this half-day seminar to address all of this and more. Bring questions related to your event or fundraising and auction goals, and we’ll incorporate answers into the session.

At this seminar, you will learn:

  • Pre-event promotion to get the right bidders to attend—and give
  • High-efficiency check-in and check-out procedures
  • Best event timing to boost giving
  • How to leverage past event data to improve an upcoming event
  • Item displays that drive more bidding
