Fundraising Event Tip #4: Have Everything At The Table

During set up of the silent auction, all certificates and gift cards are placed in 9x12 envelopes, which are labeled with the package or item name and number and placed under the auction display table. A display card corresponding to the item is placed on the top of the silent auction table.  Our software automatically prints these for you!

All physical items are placed on the silent auction table and are labeled with either a display card and/or tag attached. Bags labeled with the physical item/package numbers are placed underneath the tables to hold the physical silent auction items after the event so guests can take them home easily.
