While Auction Frogs is not a source of legal counsel, we can help point you in the right direction to begin your research and ensure you're meeting local and state requirements.

Secrets to Online Auction Success: Learn from the Pros!

Commit Fully:
Nonprofits that embrace best practices—investing in planning, marketing, and execution—stand out. Half-hearted efforts often lead to underwhelming results.

Think Beyond Items:
Leverage sponsorships for your site, items, and even unique experiences.

Include “Buy It Now” experiences like “Lunch with the Principal” or “Painting with a Teacher” that cost nothing but have big appeal.

Use Video & Social Media:
Video is a game-changer for connecting with bidders and showcasing items.

Push campaigns across social media and encourage families to share widely, expanding your reach far beyond your core audience.

Show Impact:
Clearly communicate how funds will be used. Donors are more inclined to give when they see the tangible difference their contributions will make.

Build Community Engagement:
Successful auctions create a sense of connection and purpose. The best-performing groups engage parents, grandparents, and entire networks to participate.

Pro Tip: A well-planned auction isn’t just about raising money—it’s about demonstrating the good your organization will achieve and building a community invested in your mission.

Last week, the Nampa Realtors Foundation hosted their Scholarship Banquet at the beautiful Deer Flat Ranch Event Center!

The evening struck the perfect balance of simple and exciting, with a live auction, balloon draw, and a dessert dash. Kevin Seward brought incredible energy as the auctioneer, and Elevate Academy brought the excellent food. Our team was proud to support behind the scenes with check-in, clerking, and check-out so the foundation members could fully enjoy the event they worked so hard to create.

Alisha and Melanie tackle a common event question: how many silent or live auction items should you have?

Less is More: More items don’t always mean more funds. For a 300-person gala (~150 wallets), aim for 30% of that number in auction items—around 45 quality items. Too many items dilute urgency and don’t necessarily boost revenue.

Focus on Quality: Prioritize fewer, high-value items over quantity. A nonprofit’s silent auction raised the same $8,000 whether it offered 125, 95, or just 35 items.

Embrace Technology: If your auction has plateaued, consider upgrading from paper and pen to a mobile bidding platform. These systems drive engagement with reminders, increasing bids per item and overall revenue.
