I often get asked the question “Do we need a printed program at our event?” And the answer is... Yes, you do. 

​Having a printed program is another way you can engage your guests at your event and provide another avenue to showcase your mission, thank your sponsors and volunteers, show broad community support for your work, and if you have an auction it gives you another great way to highlight and market your live auction items.

​What makes an amazing live auction?

What makes people bid generously and over value on items?

What is it that actually inspires giving when people gather together to support their favorite cause?

These are important questions that every live auction planner should be asking themselves. 

Live auctions are rarely successful when approached from the mentality - if we build it they will come. Many groups work hard on their live auction packages only to see them not achieve the results they hoped for on the night of the event.
