Is your silent auction suffering? It’s one of the most abused areas of event fundraising, yet it offers hidden profitability ... with a little TLC from you.
A survey conducted a few years ago revealed that benefit auctions offered such reliable income that fewer than 1% of development directors would discontinue the event after launching it. That said, national averages of silent auction returns aren’t that strong ... a 50% -60% return is typical.
What if your returns could be pushed to 70%, 80% or higher? What if every attendee could be persuaded to donate an additional $20 they hadn’t intended to give? Incremental gains can often make a BIG difference in the bottom line of your event.
