This new service offers in-the-trenches planning and implementation that will improve the efficiency of your auction planning process and help you raise more money.

Focused on pre-event planning and night-of direction, our Auction Director will participate fully with your committee to make your auction a success:
We know the answer to these questions and more, and will craft an event-specific timeline for your auction committee. Best of all, we’ll work to keep them on-schedule by scheduling and driving your auction committee meetings.
Our Auction Director has years of experience managing the diverse needs and egos of high-powered event committees. She will help your committee build consensus, get your committee to commit to goals, and help define focused tasks to ensure goals are reached.
Our Auction Director is here to help take your committee and event to new heights, with less stress than ever before.
Leading up to the auction we will set the day-of-auction schedule for volunteers, and manage communication with your volunteers. We will assemble training materials for checkout/check-in staff and volunteer team. Our Auction Director will create a staff and volunteer day-of plan, and then train and supervise staff and volunteers to help with registration and set-up for the auction.
We will work with your committee to establish the timing and sequence for the program, and then prepare a detailed timetable. We will then manage the timetable, assisting with all night-of logistics, working behind the scenes with technicians for sound checks, synchronizing PowerPoint slides to assure accuracy with live program, and checking timing to ensure the program moves along.
Our Auction Director will also create a detailed plan for auction fulfillment and ensure proper staffing is in place to handle critical customer service issues. Does enjoying your auction and possibly even eating a warm dinner sound too good to be true? Contact us today.
Don’t settle for finding out who bought what. Take the opportunity to discover exactly how all of your donors behave during your auction, and from that learn who you should be cultivating and who you should be seating in the back of the room next year.
When your auction is complete, we will compile all of your live and silent auction data and generate detailed reports that your entire development team will find extremely useful both for planning the next event and for integration in year-round fundraising efforts.
We have directed some of the largest auctions in the Bay Area, and know how to guide a committee to a successful event. Set your team free to focus on their most essential work: item procurement, donor development, and bidder recruitment. Let us direct your auction.
