AUDIO RECORDING: How to Use Porch Parties as a Donor Cultivation Tool to Support Your Auction
Another tool for bettering your audience!
Sherry Truhlar
Hello auction planner,
Fundraising auctions require items to sell and people to attend.
This complementary training focuses on the latter – getting guests to attend your auction.
One donor cultivation tool is a Porch Party. These small, informal gatherings of people who are current or prospective donors can be used as a stand-alone technique or as part of a larger events strategy designed to support your auction. It’s a wonderful way to open doors to new prospects, without being pushy.
