Succeeding As A Charity Auction Organizer

By Amanda Bean


Charity auctions may seem wonderful event from the gallery, however Charity Auction Organizer goes through a lot in making the event a success. They must first have a good plan to reach their goals for the day. Additional options like mobile public sale can be included to attract more bidders and make that extra sale.

Start by studying the audience so as to know what to give them as bid items. Select items that have a broad appeal in order to attract the bids from a wider part of the audience at all times. From the history of the previous years, go for items that have been selling well and bring more of it leaving aside those that do not attract more bids. Ask the donor to buy sponsorship like ad space instead of donating items; this will give them more exposure.

Create an effective plan of pulling bidders to the public-sale event in their numbers. Even if you have the best collection of auction items, without bidders to buy, you will just fail and be greatly disappointed. Promote the event maximally and to the best you can with the budget available. Use the social media and all available option to get the attention of your audience of choice.

Clearly promote your auction items with adequate descriptions to attract the prospective bidders. Pack enough features and pictures to your online catalog and make people want to buy these items. As you sell the items that were donated, sell the donor too as one package and watch the miracles happening. Make them very appealing by packaging and showcasing.

Do the right timing in all that you do right from the event date, day of the week and duration. It is advisable to have just one week for online bids. The opening and closing dates and time for various items should be staggered to create that buzz and interest. Bidding windows should be short creating the sense of urgency in the minds of the bidders.

Label every item clearly and easy to understand. A complex process will only tire the bidders to your disadvantage. Do this to the online catalog too, descriptions and history of every item should be simple and easy in categories. Use Smartphone apps to make your public sale enjoyable for those doing mobile bidding.

Use technology like emails to send out invites and avoid the costs of printing and posting letters. Cut costs as much as possible. Maintain your online presence by updating the auction website and keeping your audience informed of events well in time. Mobile apps are straight forward tools for bidding and checking out efficiently.

Hiring a professional to handle the public sale is a smart way for a Charity Auction Organizer to make his work less stressing. With their experience, the professional will make the sale very lively and keep the audience attentive all the time. Give them a reason to stay a minute longer at the auction and achieve your goals.
