WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO CLOSE DOWN YOUR SILENT AUCTION?
As a profession benefit auctioneer I get asked this question a lot.In fact I would say it was in my top 10.There are a lot of theories out there about the best time and how to make more money closing your silent auction down, but it has a lot to do with your specific event and your time line. Your fundraiser should run like a Broadway play.Everything scheduled to the minute with everyone knowing the schedule.When it comes to successful events timing is everything.I will cover that more in another video.As far as your silent auction goes, you need to make sure that your clerks have enough time to enter in all of the winning bids before your guests check out, and your guests know how much they have spent during the silent auction. That way they can freely bid in the live and fund a mission portion as well.You can probably guess that I am saying you should shut your silent auction down before the live auction. Watch this quickvideothat explains why. | ||
