Brown says charities can make more money at auction, but they don’t know how.
United States of America (Press Release) April 7, 2008 --
For over a decade, April Brown’s innovative methods have had a measurable impact on nonprofit funding. “Annually, billions of dollars are raised at charity auctions. Money for services, that would otherwise be the burden of taxpayers,” according to Brown.
Brown announces the first ever audio training for nonprofit organizations on how to put on a charity auction, The Secrets to Conducting a Successful Auction, a How To for raising more money at auction. “This series was developed to help volunteers avoid mistakes and feel supported. In just a few minutes of listening, they can save hours of time and create greater profits before, during and after the charity auction and have more fun doing it”, says Brown.
As a professional auctioneer, Brown does more than just sell donated stuff at auction. She takes even the most apprehensive volunteer and gives them confidence. “The auction coordinator is expected to cheerfully raise hundreds of thousands of dollars while confined to an unrealistic budget, with little if any guidance, and then work to exhaustion,” said Brown. “This training removes the mystery so they can create immediate results. They will be more likely to have a positive experience and return to volunteer with the auction year after year.”
Hundreds of organizations — including the Families for Effective Autism Treatment, Mitochondrial Research Foundation, Ronald McDonald House, Bellevue Rotary, Campfire USA, Whisker City, and Global Support Mission — have used April Brown’s products and services for fundraising, relationship building, gift solicitations, marketing and consulting, and auctioneering.
