Have you visited the Big Apple? "
I speak of "The Big Apple". Not Manhattan, Kansas, affectionately nicknamed "The Little Apple, this means living in the Jayhawk state. The Little Apple has its own character, but perhaps not as colorful as what I want to tell.
If you have spent time trying to vendors walking through the streets of New York, you've seen road. They sell sunglasses, fruit, umbrellas, hats, books, CDs, DVDs, jewelry and much more.
Most vendors set out their wares on crude tables on the sidewalk. Some manufacturers rely on a chair in a quiet Magazine, holds up a passer-by at their table. Others are aggressive, screaming their much anyone within earshot: "perfume! FOR $ 5! FOR EACH BOTTLE $ 5! COLOGNE men. $ 5 PERFUME WOMEN! $ 5! "
Half a second glance in her direction, will immediately provoke a reaction. "Would you to buy perfume for $ 5? "
You get the idea.
On a recent trip to New York I went to a man in a Superman costume. New York is the city is to the suit does not phase me. But he also had a beat-up cowboy hat, had a bag hanging on each arm and danced to the music blaring from a portable jambox (Yes, I typed jambox. IPod not.) Above his head he held a sign: "PURSE. $ 10.
Superman was slightly built, but for his stature with a huge smile. His task was to dance on the street corner, caught the attention of the crowd. He was the interested parties to its two Friends, the 15 meters from nearby stood a rough table overflowing with lead pockets. "PURSE!" they cried, "for $ 10! each Price range for $ 10! "
Seems they were the sales guys, he was the marketing department.
Well, what does all this with your charity auction do?
There are many ways to market for a charity auction and a fun way, is your potential guests in a way that they do not expected to engage. In other words, catching off guard prospect to bring a smile on her face, and – hell – you could buy them a ticket to enter. Our Superman did just that.
Is this idea crazy for your benefit auction?
Heck no! It's fun!
Last spring, one of my school raffle and auction customers promote their charity auction in this manner. The President of the Association of Parents of dressed like a mime of the Moulin Rouge theme of Auction match. A week or two before the auction, he spent a morning greeting all the parents, as they moved into the school parking lot to drop off their child. As a mime, he could nothing to say, but he gave each car a flyer advertising the auction and raffle. The auction chair stood nearby to answer questions and handle the financial business.
Corny …. or fun? I would say both. It is a unique opportunity to draw attention to your guests when they least expect it. It shows them that the auction is about having fun, and the party begins … right now!
If you want to give this idea a shot, consider these tips:
1. It is not necessary for the costume to be too complex.
A simple costume is in order. In fact, a simple piece of clothing could even help to promote, especially if you expect the guests arrive in costume for the auction. You will be in your costume as a "standard look" could recognize and that it is not about to trump someone with a costume, but try to enjoy in creating an atmosphere.
2. Carry a sign written in large letters to make the observer, the connection between your suit and your purpose.
If you sell lots, should Sign such a thing as the state, "Want to buy a $ 25 raffle ticket?" If you try to sell to auction tickets to the character that should be reflected, dass
3. Bring helpers.
If you have something that a cash or credit transaction requires selling, you will need help to manage the sale of part for you will busy promoting. It is a division of labor.
4. Select your location with numbers in mind.
You want to promote, where there is a Lot of people, but not necessarily where the guests would have expected.
For a church fundraising auction, auction planners might want their version of Superman walk through the community after leaving the service coffee and tea. The drop-off or pick-up area in a school is benefiting a good place for the school To promote auctions. Non-profit organizations hosting a series of events would like to be the masked man (or woman) have to make an appearance at the event immediately before the auction, such as a golf tournament or a wine tasting. 5. A "known" companies is better than an "unknown" person.
Sure, you could hire an actor to don the costume, but the fun factor will collapse. This is a question of your potential guests that they are going to have fun Association of part of the auction, because – look! – A separate (eg board member … parents … deacons) is already in the spirit of the event.
Enjoy there! Your auction is an annual fundraising celebration and should be enjoyed. Someone with a bit of humor perhaps, like to play dress-up in order to promote their upcoming fundraiser.
