Encourage bidders to "go in together" to purchase
Take a picture of the theme and post it on the online auction so the "flavor" of the event will be seen

Auction Theme

The best auctions have a great theme.

Now, this doesn't mean you have to have balloons or matching clothes, but it does mean you need a cohesive auction theme to make sure your live auction can be fun and get your organization the most money. What does having a theme entail?

An overarching auction theme can really add to the ambiance of your event. In order to choose a theme, you must first look at the people who will be coming to the event.

You wouldn't want to have a luxurious champagne brunch for families, but you might want to have that type of event for a women's organization. Knowing who will be invited to your event will allow you to tailor an auction theme the guests will enjoy.

Here are some themes for your next event...
