I have had the privilege of attending and working with thousands of auction dinners throughout North America for over 20 years. Some had several thousand attendees, while others only had fifty or so. The articles that follow are meant to give an overview of how successful auction dinners are conceived, planned and managed.
For anyone who wants a complete "Developing
An Auction Dinner" package, complete with working manuals, workbooks,
sample forms and PowerPoint presentations, visit my Festival and Event Planning website.
Event Development
9. Ticket Sales
Preparing, printing and distributing your event tickets early is imperative. This is the key to having a great turn out to your event. The more people who attend makes for a better the event… more fun, more excitement, greater revenues. Additionally, the tickets must be numbered so that you can maintain tight financial control of the event. This will be discussed in greater detail later
10. Quality Control
The
key to holding a successful event is planning and control. Leave nothing to chance. This means considering
all aspects (finance, agenda meals, activities, décor, etc) of the event and then
preparing a detailed check list. This will allow the committee to maintain
control of the event throughout the entire process. Maintaining tight control will
translate into a quality event.
