– Help your company
– Be of service
If there’s more money to be made, a professional will get it! An experienced auctioneer will recognize opportunities quicker and more efficiently than someone without the same level of knowledge.
At our company, we understand that every event is unique and individual. That’s why we tailor our service to suit your specific needs. We’ll meet with you prior to the event to ensure that we both understand the expected outcomes.
Additionally, we’re available and happy to help you put together your list of auction items, recommend the order placement, and provide any other advice relevant to your event to maximise your results. Our goal is to work together to create a successful auction that meets your goals and exceeds your expectations.
The duration of an auction typically depends on the number of items that are up for bidding. Generally speaking, it’s advisable to limit the number of items to 6-8 for a live auction. If there are too many items, the crowd may lose interest and the auction may not be as successful as anticipated.
Auctioneers may be on stage for 15-45 minutes, which can be longer than any other presenter at your event. Therefore, it’s important to select a great auctioneer who can keep the audience engaged and interested throughout the auction. With the right auctioneer, you can ensure that your event will be a success.
Absolutely! We are passionate about supporting our communities and therefore allocate a certain number of auctions each year for pro-bono cases or events. However, we have specific criteria that must be met before we can donate our services. Please contact us for more details on how to qualify for our pro-bono auction services.
Once we have processed your booking and reserved the specific time slot for your event, we are unable to accept any other work during that time. For this reason, we do not offer refunds. However, we do allow for the rescheduling of the same event, as we understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise. Please keep in mind that if you choose to reschedule, the same Auctioneer may not be available on the new date. Please contact us for further information on rescheduling your event.
While we specialize in providing exceptional auctioneer services, we also offer additional services such as consulting and support. Our team has extensive experience in event planning and fundraising, and we have established relationships with reputable event and fundraising companies.
If you are interested in learning more about auctioneering, we can provide personalized training to help you get started. Please contact us for further details on our additional services.
Auctioneers are typically known for conducting auctions for real estate sales, cars, antiques, artworks, and jewellery, among others. However, a charity auctioneer specializes in conducting auctions for fundraising events.
While a local real estate auctioneer may have a great track record of selling properties, it is important to consider whether they have the skills and experience to sell items at a charity fundraiser. For example, can they successfully sell a bottle of wine worth $250 for $3,000? It is important to choose a charity auctioneer who has the expertise and experience to maximize the fundraising potential of your event.
Timing is crucial when it comes to conducting a live auction at an event. Many organisers are concerned with keeping the event running on schedule, and it’s important to ensure that the live auction is conducted at an optimal time.
It is common for events to run behind schedule, and this can impact the success of the live auction. Many guests may have left or lost interest by the time the auction starts, resulting in poor outcomes.
As a general rule, it is advisable to schedule the live auction before 10:00pm. A good time slot would be after a guest speaker, when attendees are left inspired and motivated to donate more. This will help to maximise the fundraising potential of the event, while ensuring that guests remain engaged and energised throughout the evening.
The success of charity event auctions is not necessarily dependent on a specific time of year. Our experienced Auctioneers hold successful auctions every month, and the key is to factor in the event and the audience.
For instance, it wouldn’t be wise to hold a school fundraiser during the school holidays when attendance is likely to be low. It’s essential to consider the timing of the event and ensure that it aligns with the audience’s availability and interests.
Our Auctioneers are in high demand and are usually booked up to 12 months in advance. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you secure an Auctioneer at the same time as you confirm your event venue to ensure that you have the best chance of securing your preferred date and time.
