There’s one takeaway about the role of gift baskets at your online or live auction fundraiser that we’d like you to think about. And that is, gift baskets are a charity auction’s best-seller. There are two reasons why.

Reason number one:

At a charity auction, people attend to support your cause, especially if they are friends or family. They came to your event to buy something simply to support your organization. Having a few gift baskets available at varying price tags will help them appeal to a broader audience.

Reason number two:

People don’t attend auctions because they need a new set of knives and hope to bid on a nice set. They want to support your organization and typically buy a gift basket that they can give to someone else as a kind gesture.
