Online Auctions with a Live Fundraising Event

When you are you looking for ways to enhance your current fundraising programs, run an online auction with cMarket and earn more money from your events.

One of the more popular ways nonprofits apply cMarket to their development campaigns is to run an online auction in conjunction with a live fundraising event. Adding a web based component creates a fast and easy way to capitalize on the potential of an existing fundraising auction. In less time, using fewer dedicated resources, nonprofits can benefit from the greater revenue and added promotional value that accompanies a cMarket online auction.

  • cMarket’s fundraisers give constituents the opportunity to show their support when they cannot attend your live event – through online bidding.
  • Running a web-based auction before a live event gives you the opportunity to set higher opening bids at an in-room auction and generates more money per item.
  • By placing a fundraising auction online, organizations open the bidding up to a broader audience and increase participation that drives up event earnings.
  • cMarket’s online fundraising resources also help nonprofits include more enticing items for auction catalogs and help with item procurement.
  • Running an online auction in lieu of a silent auction has proven to be more cost effective, yields higher revenue, eliminates any set-up and breakdown costs and produces more desirable results in less time using fewer dedicated resources.
  • Online auction sites give organizations the chance to promote live fundraisers and generate the buzz and anticipation that leads to a successful event.

Individual Fundraising Auctions

Whether you have 1 highly desirable item or 1000 items to offer, your organization can create an online auction catalog and start earning money with cMarket right away.
