Benefit Bidding
The auction team at Lloyd Cooper Auctioneers is pleased to announce the expansion of our services to include online auctions. Our new website, BenefitBidding.com, is the ultimate venue for introducing your organization to the global online community, thus enhancing your ability to increase auction revenues - and generate more interest in your organization. We will continue to offer comprehensive live and silent auction support. Because the focus of our business has - and always will be - to support charitable causes, we are in the process of changing our name to Benefit Bidding.
Lloyd Cooper and his staff have had the privilege of serving non-profit organizations in the North Texas area since 1990. We do much more than simply keeping the crowds entertained, energized and bidding. Our clients include private and public schools, churches, foundations, clubs and other organizations. No auction is too big or too small. We conduct auctions for groups as large as 1,000 and as small as 20 to 30.
Dont go it alone! One of the biggest mistakes non-profits make is not contacting us early in the planning process. We have conducted hundreds of benefit auctions (we have also chaired events). When you bring us in early we can help you avoid costly mistakes that can cost you thousands of dollars in lost revenue. |
A fund-raising auction is unlike any other charitable fund-raiser and offers a number of unique challenges. The goal is not just to sell items, but to also get the audience excited about the mission of the organization. We inspire the audience to bid high and bid often. |
When you host your Online Auction with Benefit Bidding we create a custom branded Online Auction website for your organization. The website can also be used to advertise your event, request auction item donations, and honor your sponsors. You will also be able to start taking bids weeks before your gala event. |
Why should you hire a professional auctioneer?
A professional auctioneer generates more revenue as well as makes the evening more enjoyable for your guests. Quite often, organizations honestly believe they will save money by using a volunteer from their organization or a local celebrity. While using a volunteer who is free versus a paid auctioneer may seem like a good idea, it will cost you thousands of dollars of lost revenue. Novices leave money on the table because they are not able to maximize bidding.
A fund-raising auction is unlike any other charitable fund-raiser and offers a number of unique challenges. As professional fund-raising auctioneers, Lloyd and his staff understand this environment better than any volunteer, celebrity or other type of auctioneer. The goal is not just to sell items, but to also get the audience excited about the mission of the organization. An effective auctioneer will inspire the audience to bid high and bid often. When planning your event, you will hire the best caterer, decorator, designer, etc. you can afford. Why try to save when it comes to the person motivating guests to open their checkbooks?
