BENEFIT AUCTIONS

Why conduct a Benefit Auction? Benefit Auctions are one of the hottest trends in the fundraising industry at the moment. Consider any fundraiser your organization might have utilized in the past, and now consider the real revenue earning possibilities.

If a live Benefit Auction is conducted correctly it can realize upwards of 67% percent of your event's entire income. The other third (33%) of the revenue generated is from the combined total of ticket sales, in combination with a silent auction, raffles, or other revenue generating devices utilized.

Benefit Auction Software

Currently, there are over twenty benefit auction software programs available to those non-profit organizations that may have need of such software. We are very familiar with the strengths and weaknesses of most of the software programs being used in the benefit auction industry today. Some software programs have many more features than you will have need of or ever use, while others do not offer enough. Some of these software companies offer great support, and others do not have any support available when you need it most! Most importantly, some programs work fine, while others crash continuously.

What software program is best for you? How do you really know which one to choose? Let our expertise guide you through the tough decision in choosing which software program will be best suited to your organization's individual benefit auction needs. Talk with us first before you commit to purchasing a software program from one of these companies. You may not need a software program at all!
