Silent auctions are a fantastic way to raise funds for your cause, but keeping bidders engaged throughout the event can be a challenge. That’s where the Lucky Line feature on Auction Frogs bid sheets comes in! This simple yet powerful tool adds an exciting twist to traditional silent auction bid sheets, encouraging more participation and higher bids.
What is the Lucky Line?
The Lucky Line is a designated spot on each bid sheet that gives bidders an extra incentive to participate. If a guest places their bid on the Lucky Line, they are automatically entered into a special prize drawing or given some swag from the organization. This creates a fun and strategic element to bidding—giving guests another reason to bid and stay engaged.
How Does the Lucky Line Help?
Bidders increase their offers just to land on the Lucky Line, leading to more competitive bidding and ultimately raising more funds for your cause! With an incentive to bid on the Lucky Line and receive a prize or chance to win a prize, it’s a good way to help to increase the bids! Some attendees may hesitate to place a bid, but the chance to win a special prize can be the extra push they need to get involved. Silent auctions can sometimes feel routine, but adding a Lucky Line turns bidding into a game! The thrill of landing on the lucky spot keeps guests engaged and entertained.
How to Use the Lucky Line at Your Event
-
- Designate a Lucky Line – Pick a specific line on each bid sheet where a bidder can qualify for the special drawing. Auction Frogs feature will automatically highlight the line.
- Promote It! – Make sure guests know about the Lucky Line by announcing it at the event, adding a sign near auction items, and including it in your event program.
- Choose a Desirable Prize – The incentive doesn’t have to be extravagant, but it should be something attendees will want—a gift card, a bottle of wine, or even a swag item from the organization.
- Hold the Drawing – At the end of the auction, gather all Lucky Line winners and randomly select the recipient of the special prize.
