SECRET BID SILENT AUCTION
SECRET 'BID SLIP' SILENT AUCTION
With little or NO cost involved, secret bidding is often the most fruitful option for many charity events.
A Silent Auction using our unique bid slips features ‘secret’ bidding, whereby guests write down their highest bid for an item. This allows for more than one of each item to be sold (where available) and the charity achieve the highest possible sale price, even when only one or two people have bid on an item.
Auction Direct offer a fully managed service; from helping you to choose suitable lot items through to the design and print of your auction brochures. Our team will set up an impressive auction display and manage your auction processes; encouraging guests to place bids and taking payments on the night. Post event, we will chase any outstanding payments and get your funds to you asap.
We have over 20 years fundraising event experience and have lots of ideas and advice to help you maximise your fundraising, such as a Golden Ticket Raffle.
