And… sold! To the gentleman in the pink suit!
Auctions can liven up any kind of event, and sometimes help you raise valuable money for charity.
But without an auctioneer able to read the room and keep the pace up, they can often fall rather flat.
Making sure each lot is properly researched and presented in the right way can make a huge difference.
Top tip: I have hosted auctions in the likes of the Alhambra Theatre and Elland Road!
What do you offer?
As an auctioneer, my job is to get the lots sold. Here’s how:
Diligent research into each and every item to boost sale potential.
Examination of who is attending and who the big buyers might be.
Preparation of quips and jokes to ensure audience is entertained and engaged.
Early arrival to inspect products and discuss goals and targets for the evening.
Professional and charismatic hosting of the auction itself.
A friendly and easy-going demeanour to ensure a light-hearted atmosphere throughout.
If this is what your event needs, just give me a shout.
With over five years of professionalism within the wedding and funeral industries, and over twenty years of performing experience, I know what makes an event work.
I can ensure that YOUR event is tailored to YOU, and hosted with confidence and charm.
