Assign Mark Silent Auction Gift Certificate For Free

Aside from gift baskets, how else can you display gift cards for your raffle fundraiser at a silent auction? A few creative ideas might include adding them to a small bouquet of flowers, or displaying them on a large board that you could decorate to match the theme of your fundraiser.

A great gift card presentation idea is to pair the card with a small, inexpensive, but related gift item. This can be a foodie gift card attached to a new piece of kitchenware for the budding gourmet, or a coffee shop gift card attractively presented inside a mug or travel cup.

A good rule of thumb is to provide 1 or 2 auction items for every bidder or spender at your event. For a guest list of 100 people (roughly 50 couples who'll be bidding and spending together), approximately 25-35 items would create an effective market that's competitive but not overwhelming.

Travel packages or gift cards are a fantastic option for silent auction fundraisers, especially if they allow the winner to be in control of how the prize is redeemed. This is important to consider, since most people work full-time and need to plan their vacations well in advance.

First, instead of using lots of bid sheets on the auction table to sell your gift cards, make your auction more accessible and sell your gift cards online through our online auction and mobile bidding software. Gift cards usually sell for full value, and they are easy to ship to people who are not attending your event!

A gift certificate should include: The recipient's name. The amount awarded. The expiration date. An authorized signature. Contact details. Any other relevant information.

Since gift cards can be easily overlooked, place them in jewel cases so they stand out better among the other items. Attach to or display alongside the basket a list of its contents. Your bidders will be more enticed when they know exactly what they're getting.
