Keeping Procurement Simple & Profitable

Procurement feels like such a massive effort for any organization. To keep this part of your event manageable, we offer a few key steps to keep the search profitable and efficient for your staff and volunteers..

Analyze Past Event Item Procurement Data

Review previous years’ performance to identify items that sold significantly

above their value.

Procure Similar Items

Aim to secure items similar to those that exceeded 150 - 200% of their

value in past events.

Know Your Audience

Understand your donors and event attendees’ preferences. Offer unique

experiences for those who enjoy hands-on activities, such as chainsaw carving or cake decorating classes.

Curate Your Collection

Create an irresistible and varied lineup of items tailored to your

audience’s interests, ensuring maximum excitement and generosity at your

fundraising auction. Vacations, local sports tickets, restaurant experiences, and more can round out a wonderful live item line up.

Have a professional order your Live Items

This is key. Have your auctioneer or event planner

assist in determining how to get the most dollars out of your procured line up.
