Susan conducts over 40 Benefit Galas every year. We are continuing to expand in this market, providing value and expertise to these types of auctions is something that no one is doing. In addition to providing auctioning services, Susan will spend a good portion of her time working with auction committees as an auction consultant. By providing ideas on procurement, audience development, decorating, lighting, sound, stage layout, silent and live auction display, and cashiering, she is able to assure the success of the event for her clients
We have high-energy auctioneers, auction staff and a great support team. We like to have fun and our goal is centered around making your auction attendees have a good time so that you can raise as much money as possible.
We do all types of fund raisers and we encourage you to call us today (513-403-6734) and let us help you with your next event.
We inform our clients that there are three types of auctioneers.
- The volunteer, amateur, or hobbyist is most
often unskilled, and a self taught community member or even an eager radio
or TV personality. Although they may make a good Master of Ceremonies for
your event, THEY
ARE NOT LICENSED BY THE STATE AS AN AUCTIONEER!
- The traditional auctioneer is
professionally trained in the craft, but more often than not they have
little if any experience in fundraising auctions, and unfortunately this can
impact your event.
- The Benefit Auction Specialist Auctioneer comes from an accredited auction school, and she/he has attended and received the designation of BAS (Benefit Auction Specialist) from the National Auctioneer's Association that requires an intense three and half days of training in addition to continuing education requirements each year to keep the designation title. They possess the requisite professional experience with years in the industry, and further they possess the fundraising knowledge required to insure your event’s profitability.
Knowing these facts now, which auctioneer would you choose?
