People give for all different reasons. A successful event auctioneer must understand who is in the room, the unique story of the organization, and how to combine those two into a magic mix of support. This is at the heart of what we do. We work closely with clients all along the way and up to the big event. Our process includes: Planning to determine event goals, donor messaging, item procurement and event logistics; Workplan development to ensure we work as team throughout the process; Coordination with partner event consultants and vendors; Recommendations for maximizing success, including how to build anticipation or craft an effective special appeal; Skilled and charismatic auctioneer on-site, working before, during and after the auction portion to engage your team and participants; Follow up and event evaluation to capture highlights, learnings and impact of our work together.
