Why is consulting necessary prior to a fundraiser for non-profits?

Consulting from your fundraising/auction professional can help non profits maximize their outcome. There are many tricks of the trade that a fundraising professional has been trained to execute on the night of your event. Not only should the auctioneer conduct an exciting, fun filled auction but he or she should be able to bring your results to an entirely new level with a properly conducted fund a need. A great fund a need can many times double, triple or even bring your proceeds to that sought after level that only non profits dream about!

In addition, a true fundraising professional will bring in revenue enhancers that can be scattered throughout your program to boost your results in those down times when your guests are transitioning to the next segment. Listen to your professional fundraising consultant when it comes to making money at your event or you just might leave dollars on the table that will be given to the next charity event that your guests attend.
