The publication has received rave reviews from readers like you who appreciate the ideas, practical how-to, and general inspiration we crave when we feel like we’re the only ones slogging along the dusty auction trail.
Here’s what some of our readers think.
| “I’ve been reading your e-zine for the last few months and enjoy your upbeat approach and original ideas. I especially loved the beach party motif photos. I’m now researching your site for information on sponsorships as I’ve got a pressing issue to manage. With the economy being what it is, we find that our auction is both more important, but we have even fewer resources to promote it.”

| “I found your website and e-zine about a month ago and it is amazing. I have read everything on it at least twice. I do not even have children, but for some reason I am obsessed with your website. I am up ‘til 2 or 3 AM every night reading all of the ideas and information. I just want to thank you for all the useful information. It truly has completely changed the way I think about auctions and how to properly ask for items and donations. Thank you again.”

It is a great list to jog us into action … Your enthusiastic shot in the arm came at the right time, as I need to stay pumped up so the board will be too. We have a fantastic board that works hard and we have used a lot of your ideas already over the years but it is always exciting to get new ones. Thanks again for all your ideas.

| “The info that Sherry is sharing has been very helpful to me and my efforts to grow our event. I am in awe of the advice and direction she shares. I especially appreciate how true the advice is and the success I am having following her tips.”

| “Thanks for that great article on thank you’s for auction committee members. In past years we treated our committee to a celebration dinner at a local restaurant – just a fixed price menu, volunteers picked up their own drink tab. It was nice to break bread together or in this case share rice bowls. We continued this tradition this year with a special thank you sushi/bento box lunch out for the key chairpeople. It’s a fun way to wrap up the work, talk over what we liked or would do differently, and toss out ideas about our next event.
Your advice is always so helpful and your positive energy radiates through my computer screen. Thank you for your continued great advice.” |
