Jump-Start Your Fundraising Auction is a 32 page book designed to help you acquire as much quality merchandise as you will need in order to make your Fundraising Auction a complete success. Our experience has shown us that most non-profit groups have little idea about what sells well at Fundraising Auctions, and they have little idea about how to acquire this merchandise. This book will change that for you.

Merchandise Acquisition is perhaps the most important element of a Fundraising Auction. No Auction can reach its full potential without the proper volume and assortment of quality items to sell. You can have the best Auctioneer in the world but, if there is little to sell, the Auctioneer will not be able to raise any serious money and your event will simply not succeed.

This book will show you what sells best at a Fundraising Auction…and how you can effectively solicit these FREE items for your event.

• We’ll introduce you to the “Auction Dynamic”. That is, why certain things sell for good money while others don’t sell well.
• We’ll talk about 16 specific categories of items that sell well at Fundraising Auctions.
• We’ll provide you with a list of more than 400 specific items that are easy to obtain and which almost always sell well at Fundraising Auctions.
• We’ll warn you about what doesn’t sell well at a Fundraising Auction.
• We’ll introduce you to “Mike’s Can’t-Miss 10-Step Merchandise Acquisition System” that, if followed properly, will bring you more than enough items to make your event extremely profitable. Year-After-Year.
• We’ll provide you with specific tips and strategies designed to help you solicit enough quality merchandise to exceed your wildest expectations.
• We’ll show you how to create Auction Baskets and Auction Packages.
• We’ll share with you some of the most interesting things we’ve ever sold. (Things you can sell as well).
• And then we’ll wrap it all up and help you get started making some serious money at your next Fundraising Auction.
