The AuctionGreers have recently completed a special training course with the NAA, National Auctioneers Association to become: Benefit Auctioneer Specialists - BAS!
Benefit auctions are one of the fasting growing segments of the auction business!
The BAS course is designed to teach the planning techniques that create successful benefit auctions. Auctioneers who complete the course study to receive this designation - learn specialized benefit marketing skills, create a business strategy, and to assist clients with building clientele and profits.
If a live Charity Auction is conducted correctly it can realize upwards of 67% percent of your event's entire income. The other third (33%) of the revenue generated is from the combined total of ticket sales as well as additional event income via: a silent auction, raffles, or other proceeds.
When considering whether or not to hire an auction professional for your event; Can the person you are considering to host the events provide the following elements:
* Can they ask for money and use trained and well tuned expertise to extract thousands of extra dollars from the crowd?
* Can they identify the experienced bidders in a crowd and know what they're likely to buy?
* Do they already have loyal and dedicated auction clients? Could they bring crowd of regulars who could boost your event profits?
* Are they going to be a big help with marketing, planning, and promotion?
* Do they understand bidding increments and how asking for the bigger dollar influences the buyer?
* Are they interested in you continued success and the passion you have for your cause?
If you can answer no to any of the above questions, I can guarantee you that "guest" auctioneer will end up costing you a lot more than it would to hire a professional.
