ARCHITECTING A CHARITY AUCTION

Auction events can be broken down into the five basic steps listed here:

1. Plan your auction2. Solicit items to sell3. List your item for sale4. Spread a word5. Wrap it, ship it, and assess how you did

Think about who you know. Of course “items" sell well on eBay—but so do unique experiences: shop with a supermodel; tour the town with the mayor; lunch with a CEO. Big names tend to generate more interest and bigger donations, so consider high wattage partners and friends of your organization—they may have a one-of-a-kind experience to offer.

Reach out to your celebrity supporters and leverage them.

36

SOCIAL MEDIA

Don’t forget to use your website or blog to educate your supporters, so they can support by purchasing items listed on your behalf (link them to your nonprofit detail page) and selling on your behalf (instruct them to select your organization as the beneficiary when prompted in eBay’s ‘Sell Your Item’ process).

Let your Facebook community and Twitter followers know that they can support you on eBay by buying your listings or selling on your behalf.
