We all know relying on donated auction items comes with multiple risks and stress. However, once you get your hands on a few amazing items, the fundraising result can be outstanding! Not only are you raising more but the process of procuring donated items can help strengthen and maintain donor relationships.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Nevertheless, you should always have a no risk contingency plan that can enhance your existing auction item range. Perhaps you couldn&#8217;t get hold of a major donor who promised to auction off their holiday home. Alternatively, maybe the committee member who was going to donate a VIP box on a football ground no longer has access to it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 640px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.www.givergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Blog20Imagine.jpg\" alt=\"Blog Imagine.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 22.5pt; background: whitesmoke; text-align: left;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #444444; letter-spacing: .7pt;\">Here are 7 reasons why taking on third-party auction items can help you maximise your fundraising efforts!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #444444; letter-spacing: .7pt;\">1)No risk<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #444444; letter-spacing: .7pt;\">Source a supplier that doesn&#8217;t take any money if the item doesn&#8217;t sell during the event. Its also important that you&#8217;re the main beneficiary of the auction item if it sells, therefore ensure their pricing model reflects that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #444444; letter-spacing: .7pt;\">2)Build excitement<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #444444; letter-spacing: .7pt;\">Showcasing a range of elite and exciting auction items will draw in donors.

Use this as part of your fundraising strategy and auction off the same item more than once for the same price. This works especially well in a live auction when your auctioneer can create and control a competitive environment engaging and selling a single item to several high rolling bidders. It can also be utilised in the silent auction where Givergy will work with you to approach all of the guests that could potentially agree to match the final price the item sold for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #444444; letter-spacing: .7pt;\">4)Consultancy service<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #444444; letter-spacing: .7pt;\">Find a supplier who offers genuine guidance and advice on the type of auction items to offer your particular demographic and items that complement the theme of your event.

For instance, you will no longer have to worry about curating copy and sourcing images for the auction items. In addition, its the suppliers responsibility to ensure that your guests redeem their auction item or experience in an efficient manner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #444444; letter-spacing: .7pt;\">6)Concentrate on your demographic<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; color: #444444; letter-spacing: .7pt;\">Take the time to learn and understand your demographic, use this knowledge to strategically select auction items from your third-party supplier.
