“Procuring auction items” is often seen as the biggest challenge for a school auction team. Here are three tips that can reduce the stress of searching for auction items; I’ll be coming back to this topic fairly often, so keep checking back.
- Register with us for access to the Ultimate Donation Database. It’s completely free to do so, although we would like for you to be a contributor, as well as a user.
- Sign up for our email series - Procurement Tips For School Auctions - again, this is completely free, and full of good school auction item ideas.
- Use the search engines! Go to Google or Bing or Yahoo and search for “donor request form” - you’ll be amazed at how many companies have a public form you can complete to request auction items.
