Raising more with 100 Less? Oh Yes.

Last night I conducted a benefit auction that had 100 fewer guests than attend last year. But incredibly, more money was raised last night than last year with more people. What made the difference?

It was likely two things. First the presentation of the Fund-a-Need was perfectly planned and executed prior to the timing of the "ask." The effectiveness was immediate because hands went up immediately as I asked for high end donations. Every level of the ask was received with numerous bid cards in the air.

Secondly, the right people were in the room supporting the cause. My client worked hard to be assured that givers were attending their event. Less people was more money because these two important factors merged to result is record fundraising evening.

Mark Schroeder BAS & Auction brio Returning to Conduct the Khaki & Plaid

I am excited to announce that Auction brio will return to conduct the 2014 Khaki & Plaid benefit auction for Hope for the Future of San Antonio, Texas. This year, the K&H raised over a million dollars in the Fund-a-Need and tens of thousands more in the live and silent auctions.

For this record fundraising auction, I only had 6-months to help on the consulting end inserting new opportunities to raise more money. As a certified Benefit Auctioneer Specialist, this year we'll work together for 9.5 month start to enhance the many aspects of the auctions, sponsorships, underwriting, marketing and producing interactive money generating ideas for this 1,000 guest gala in San Antonio.
