ABOUT THE VIDEO
Trips and vacations are often strong sellers in a fundraising auction. To push higher sales and get even more guests to bid, I try to make a vacation sound approachable to anyone sitting in the room.
Two ways I do this are 1) to share how to get to the destination, and 2) provide other tidbits about the area, hoping to intrigue a guest to bid.
Committees can also share this type of information.
Additionally, they 3) can add maps to slideshows and online auction sites to help guests place a location.
In the video, you can hear how I incorporate this data into a sale.
