In this podcast, charity auctioneer Sherry Truhlar shares the outstanding marketing this school auction did for one live auction item — a potato cannon.
A potato cannon was a clever item in this live auction, and the committee did an outstanding job of pre-marketing it for the school auction.
“It looks like we did amazingly well. We grossed a bit over $84,700, a figure we are thrilled with! In light of the economy and reduced numbers in attendance, I think the auction was a huge success. As always, your debriefing report is so thorough and so helpful. We were relieved and grateful to have done so well this year, especially since attendance was down. We’ll let you know as soon as we’ve chosen a date for next year since we would love to have you back!”
