Top 3 Mistakes
Failing to understand the purpose of the auction.
Charity auctions create the opportunity to connect with donors, bidders, volunteers and sponsors. A thoughtful planning process creates confident and competent volunteers and develops deeper and more meaningful associations.
Failure to invest in the financial vision of the auction.
“In the beginning it belongs to others, what’s left belongs to you”. If you operate by my Golden rule, your auction will create greater overall value than any other fundraising event. A charity auction is the only experience that offers Donors, sponsors, guests and volunteers a chance to rub shoulders. They are paying for a positive, uplifting and entertaining experience. Invest as much of their money as it takes to create a memorable legendary auction event.
Failure to Honor Everyone All The Time.
Bartender to Baron, Valet to Vice President, all influence a spirited and special evening. The auction process and environment holds new contacts and support. Cooperating kindly builds comaradarie and loyalty. Your profits will rise with the altitude of your attitude.
