Provocative and Bestselling Auction Items

Our experience with a wide variety of fundraising auctions suggests that yours should include a few unique, provocative and generally unusual offerings. These make great promotional levers and can attract press coverage. What's more, they entertain your potential donors, attract aggressive bids and draw larger general audiences to your online auction. And, as we all know, larger bidder lists mean greater revenues and more support for your sponsors.

Of course, your organization has its own character and your donors their own style. You probably know a great deal about them and can guess what attracts them and how they respond to auction opportunities. Like virtually every fundraiser we work with, you'll improve with every auction you host, learning more about the pricing, selection and promotion of your event every time around.

In an effort to share some of our many customers' experience and to spur some creative thinking on your part, we've collected two sets of interesting auction items. The first list, below, is a short collection of curious, innovative and creative items that were successfully sold on cMarket auctions. We hope they serve as inspiration.
