by Ian Kleine
A less-than-common affairs fairs around the country are auctions. Auctions are just the usual bidding & all pizazz. You could go for dramatic auction or you could go for simple one. The main theme players bid to buy something at prices escalate by the minute depending on how far the buyer s budget can stretch.
Quite truly there are lot themes are common all things with auctions with themes stretching to the usual antiques & old items to the more outlandish & vague. If you want to participate an auction make sure to at least minimum ten things. These ten items should at least be varied enough they can pique the the interest the common person. Auctions should at least cater to the varied tastes different groups people.
Auctions require preparation & time so best you set your booth up & spend as much to make sure goes successfully. A failed auction both loss to your money & to your reputation. Advertising & announcing your auction one thing all itself so use as much as lot media as possible. Flyers banners posters basically anything catches the attention & the eye the general public. Visit the venue set up everything & make sure nothing delays the event.
Auctions WILL be boring so make sure concession stand are nearby. Commission food stands & vendors to move themselves nearer your area when auction time. This would also benefit them as the amount people within the site offers them bigger audience for their market as well. Prepare everything they should be within easy reach. Directions to the site should be posted & tables & items neatly labeled numbered & tagged for inventory. If the event held outside supplement & prepare. If you have to prepare umbrellas or very large tent.
Auctions are quite popular if you do come across them. The general man would think like rich man s game & if the item within their budget or if relevant to their interests they will buy it. Be prepared there would be some leftover items & you couldn t get to sell all them. That s okay. Save them for the next auction. But don t force yourself. If auctioning doesn t work for you then don t force it. If works for you then learn strategies & tactics to command the audience. Intensity key to making people buy stuff.
