Mark Schroeder of Auction brio Raises Pawsome Auction by 242%

Here is something every organization should consider when seeking a professional benefit auctioneer to raise money for their organization or school. Most importantly, has that person elevated his education of conducting benefit auctions as a certified Benefit Auctioneer Specialist and secondly, how will they get involved with your organization to help raise more money? Here is an example of the success in 2009 of raising money for non-profit organizations in 2009.

A year ago, the Pawsome Auction at Nouvel Catholic Central High School in Saginaw, Michigan conducted a fund-a-need auction that raised a small amount of money for a specific need. The goal was not reached and there was disappointment. This year, Nouvel contracted with Mark Schroeder of Auction brio to help with all aspects of their auctions and particularly the fund-a-need auction.

With 20 years of award winning broadcast production as a background, Mark worked with the school to create a more entertaining fund-a-need auction that brought production and understanding to the cause. The result on auction night was a 242% increase in revenue for the Pawsome Auction! Not only did Nouvel reach its goal, they did it within the first :15 seconds of asking for the money. All the proceeding donations were a bonus for the school's science program. Is your professional benefit auctioneer raising money by percentages like this in the current economy?

By contracting with Mark Schroeder of Auction brio you partner with the country's only Telly Award and multi-Emmy Award winning auctioneer who brings professional production ideas to your gala or event. In addition, Mark will set market values and bid increments for the live and silent auctions in order for your organization to maximize its money generating opportunities.
