It also makes them look through the auction catalog a good thing! Before the live auction , the auctioneer will draw one envelope. However much money that person put in their envelope, they win 10 times that amount, on the spot!
And your charity gets to keep the rest. Many variations of this game exist. You can find a few here at Greater Giving. Why should you draw the winner before the live auction?
Because that person will be more likely to spend more since they just won! Yes, use green, because green is the color of money. Try these 8 next-level silent auction strategies too.
All it takes to play this fundraising game is a desirable item you might normally use in a raffle, and a green sharpie. On each silent auction bid sheet, draw a green line or green box around one of the bid amounts. For anyone who bids that amount on any of your silent auction sheets, they get entered into a drawing for the prize.
So, the only people who get into the drawing are people who bid on the green line. Just by bidding on that line, they get in the drawing. So in theory, you could bid on the green line on ten different silent auction cards, get outbid every time and thus spend nothing, and yet still win the Thin Green Line drawing.
This is smart because it gives your attendees a reason to move farther down the bid sheet, thus increasing your silent auction revenue. BUT — you must explain this game to them. I went to one event where all the sheets had these green lines, but no one knew what they meant until halfway through the silent auction.
The bigger the value, the more you can charge to play. This idea combines the momentum of a live auction with the surprise of a raffle. Ten strips of double-strip tickets are auctioned individually for the chance to win a trip. As soon as the first strip sells, the auctioneer gives the bidder the opportunity to purchase as many of the remaining strips as they want, each at the same price.
If there are any strips left, the auction resumes. The process is repeated until all ticket strips are sold. The raffle portion of the ticket strips are deposited into a draw barrel, from which a single ticket is drawn. The person holding the corresponding ticket wins the trip! Why a strip versus single tickets? This raffle works best when there is a great travel package to be won, such as a travel package to New York or Las Vegas.
The auction portion is exciting because people can buy a 1-in or greater chance of winning this premium prize. The Fund-a-Need or special appeal is already an exciting, emotionally charged point of the event. Try having champagne glasses engraved with your organization's logo for a beautiful keepsake.
