Auction Consulting

Auction Consulting

We begin the consulting process by meeting with the committee and understanding the goals for the event. Our job is not to tell the committee what to do, but to advise and consult with them on what works well, what will not work (from our experience) and what areas are likely to benefit from some experimentation. We do not want to dampen creativity. To the contrary, we want the creativity to flow - but directed in areas where it will not be costly to the process. The "basics" of your event business do not need to be invented, only managed. We help your committee understand those basics and once they have that understanding, they can be much more creative in building a wonderful event that will be the envy of those who must create their event from scratch.

Of course, we provide your committee with a step-by-step guide that's a wealth of knowledge on benefit auctions. In the guide, they will find sample forms, timelines and milestones, budgets, job descriptions, room layout guides, lighting and sound specifications, goal setting tools, sample letters, invitations and catalog descriptions, and numerous other tools at their disposal. We even provide a handy list of hundreds of sample auction items - our "ABC's of Item Procurement" covering every letter in the alphabet, literally organized from A to Z! Click here for your own copy to use at your procurement kick off meetings.

We train you, guide you, help motivate your committee, troubleshoot your processes, keep you on track and share in your success.

We are your auction event guide, and we will help you make more money, and have more fun doing it - guaranteed!
