Auction Boot Camp
Do you have a new committee in place, are you looking for the how-to resources, do you have eager volunteers with very little auction experience? Is your budget for consulting support limited? Then this is the package for you. Auction Boot Camp is a program we have developed that takes a look at your event with your whole committee 6 months out to develop your working plan, your theme, your budget, and your task lists. Then we meet again at 6 weeks out to take a look at your logistics, your preparation for the big day, and give you the planning tools to feel good about your auction.
Auction Boot Camp -
Get together your committee for a day of hands on planning. Six weeks out from your event we will host a planning session that will give you the hands-on tools to move forward in planning your event. In this session we will walk through the planning from start to end and you will walk out with a hands-on guide to lead you through your planning process.
Six months out we will:
- Identify your audience
- Set your theme
- Develop your program
- Create your budget
- Write your sponsorship proposal
- Map your sponsorship prospects
- Develop your procurement plan
- And create a working timeline and task list
And then as your event approaches and the details begin to fall into place, we will gather again as a group to re-evaluate the plan, identify missing pieces, and set forth a final work plan that will cover all of the prep and logistics before your event.
Six weeks out we will:
- Review your remaining auction needs
- Determine final procurement needs
- Set a strategy for final ticket sales
- Put together a final task list of prep items
- Identify day-of-event volunteer needs
Unlike the strategic planning process, this is a level of hands-on engagement will take two, eight-hour sessions and will require your committee to work together as a team to develop the plan. The deliverables and resources are created by the group so that you can all be working together from start to finish.
