Benefit Auctions in 2020. The Return to Normal or the NEW Normal?

This Webinar is available on-demand—watch it now! 

In the abrupt & unexpected postponement, rescheduling, or even the cancellation of thousands of benefit auctions across the country, what will happen when it all resumes? Will there be smaller gatherings? Will some events include a live stream auction? Will donations have to become more creative due to the loss of supporting businesses from these drastic closures & layoffs? The answer to all of these is yes, yes, yes. If we plan now, the best organizations will be ready to resume. If not, there will be great losses. This is an ideal opportunity to face what is happening now and produce fresh resolutions.

Listeners will be well prepared to replace live auction packages that may have or could be falling apart due to the loss of supporting businesses like restaurants, chef dinners, airline tickets, vacation destinations, etc. This webinar will tell listeners how to assess a situation and to become creative with ideas to generate value to their live auction. In addition, they will learn to ease the pain of donors of the Fund-a-Need ask so those supporters can continue to provide the opportunity to those who love their cause.
