1. Marquee Events
Make your big event the best it can be! With Auctria, we can make marquee events like annual galas and auctions more successful than ever. Each event is it’s own with an exclusive event website, maximizing mobile bidding, and using Auctria’s sponsorship recognition to attract support.
Maximizing your sponsorships:
Develop a sponsorship package that reaches your goals and offer higher levels than you think will sell—you might be surprised! This behavioral sales technique makes lower levels even more appealing.
🔹 Promote sponsors effortlessly: Feature logos, clickable URLs, and premium recognition in your event website’s footer and transactional emails.
🔹 Advertising sponsorship opportunities adds authority and purpose to your event.
🔹 Sell out sponsorships fast: Nothing motivates buyers like seeing others committed. Leverage FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) to drive urgency.
🔹 Tap into marketing budgets: Many businesses can’t donate cash but will purchase sponsorships from their advertising budget—making it an easier sell.
Auctria set-up for Sponsorship Sales and Promotion:
✅ Sell sponsorships directly on your event website or from the dashboard.
✅ Allow sponsors to upload logos for seamless branding.
✅ If sponsorships include event tickets, bundle them together for a streamlined experience.
✅ Use high-quality images and meaningful giving levels to attract buyers.
Revenue Boosters
Think about the guest experience and choose activities that fit the vibe of your event and align with your timeline. Plan income-producing activities in advance so guests can pre-pay before they arrive, starting the evening with a zero balance. This sets the stage for higher spending once they’re there!
Here are some fun features to consider:
- VIP early access, experience, parking, special table wine or drinks
- Games of chance (ring toss, balloon pop, paper airplane)
- Raffles for exciting prizes
- Food or drink tickets for easy consumption and additional revenue
- Wine wall or wine pull for a unique experience and increased donations
These activities can add to the excitement of the evening while boosting your event's revenue.
