Auction Bootcamp

We’re always looking for effective strategies to offer our clients to help them make the most of their resources. As fall blows in, we’re excited to offer a new service we like to call Auction Boot Camp.

Auction Boot Camp is a program we have developed that takes a look at your event at two crucial times: 6 months out then again 6 weeks out. We will lead strategy sessions with you and your event committee, enabling all of you to work together and draft a work plan that is specific to your event.

6 months out we will meet with you and your committee to:
• Identify your audience
• Set your theme
• Develop your program
• Create your budget
• Write your sponsorship proposal
• Map your sponsorship prospects
• Develop your procurement plan
• And create a working timeline and task list

And then as your event approaches and the details begin to fall into place, we will gather again as a group to re-evaluate the plan, identify missing pieces, and set forth a final work plan that will cover all of the prep and logistics before your event.

6 weeks out we will meet with you and your committee to:
• Review your auction needs remaining
• Determine final procurement needs
• Set a strategy for final ticket sales
• Put together a final task list of prep items
• Identify day of event volunteer needs

Unlike the strategic planning process, this is a level of hands on engagement that will take two, eight-hour sessions and will require your committee to work together as a team to develop the plan. The resources are created by the group so that you can all work together from start to finish to create an event that reflects the personality of your organization. It’s a great way to work together in a structured environment and end up with all the plans you need to execute a great, successful event.
