Things are heating up with the temperatures and the auctions. People may be attending less fundraising auctions than before, but they are being more generous in their giving to those they do attend.
You see, generosity is an emotion, and the amount of money people spend at your fundraising event will depend on how they feel. The four objectives of a successful fundraiser are; you want your donors to,
- Feel important.
- Gain a desire to support your cause.
- Want what you are selling at the auction.
- Get caught up in the thrill of bidding.
When I stand in front of an audience as a Fundraising Professional Auctioneer, I am charged with the responsibility of raising a lot of money, if these objectives are met, my job is easy. All I have to do is make them feel the thrill of bidding and giving to a great cause. I work to get to know the donors from the time they walk in the room, visiting with them during the social and silent auction. My team and myself gather a lot of information before the Live Auction even begins, we let them know we are trustworthy and professional and have a passion for the organization we are working for.
If we can help your organization raise the dollars you need, please give us a call. I would like to personally come out and meeting with you to discuss ways we can make you more money at your next event.
Regards,
Peggy
