Benefit Auction Services
Red Apple Auctions is committed to helping our clients exceed their financial goals for each benefit auction. We do this through pre-event consulting, providing a dynamic, fun, and gracious auctioneer at your event, and following up with a post-event review which will include written suggestions you can use to help plan your next year’s event.
Your guests will enjoy the evening, spend money, tell others, and be anxious to return to the gala the following year!
Whether you are planning your first or fortieth gala auction, we can make suggestions to impact your bottom line. Some common consulting areas include:
- How and where to acquire items for the auction
- Securing more compelling auction items
- Structuring the evening’s events
- Sequencing the silent and live auction items
- Determining items for live, silent, and super silent sections
- Avoiding common mistakes with appeals and fund-a-needs
- Growing non-auction revenue by using your event program
- Using games, raffles, and other unique revenue builders
- Incorporating themes and theatrics for greater impact
- Where to spend money (and not) to raise donation levels
- Reviewing lighting and sound requirements
We also offer these additional services:
Professional “Floor Auctioneers”
A Floor Auctioneer is a trained professional whose job is to stimulate bidding during the live auction, sell raffle tickets, close silent auction sections, and manage other miscellaneous tasks. A team of floor auctioneers enables your volunteers to stop working your event, and start buying merchandise!
Specialized Help for Wine Auctions
If your auction will be selling fine wine, Red Apple Auctions works with one of the nation’s top specialty food and wine auctioneers to ensure your items are accurately explained and sell for top dollar.
Tag-Team Auctioneering
If your event is ready for something new, make it a double! To the delight of the audience, we can pair an entertaining male and female auctioneer to engage each other in light-hearted banter.
Consulting Workshops
Workshops designed to address an identified area, such as item acquisition, audience development, or auction operations.
Appropriate Sound Systems
We can ensure that all attendees hear the auction comfortably and clearly.
Check-Out Services
By utilizing benefit auction software, your guests’ final impression of the gala will be just as pleasant as their first impression.
