HOW IT WORKS

Geographic Considerations

As you undoubtedly know, local offerings in charitable auctions constitute the mainstay of such events. Donated meals, lodging and other recreation serves donors’ good wishes and self-promotion. Such attractions also appeal to bidders as most of us have a higher interest in what lies next door than we do to similar items elsewhere.

cMarket Place sources a number of categories of such products in forms you might not come by easily. For instance, sports memorabilia that is localized to your city’s baseball, basketball, hockey and football teams is very effective in creating excitement on an auction. Travel and entertainment that is offered without airfare included can be a powerful, local attraction.
