Banquets & Award Dinners for Rotary, Lions, Civic Clubs & Chambers of Commerce

Your club runs an awards night or banquet every year. The room is full of local business people who see the same auction items year after year. You want something that fits the room, adds energy, and gives members a reason to bid.

Country Music Awards trips, Napa wine weekends, Belize getaways, and regional sporting events fit these rooms. They are experiences your members talk about and bid on. The packages work in a shorter auction because they are easy to describe and easy to sell. You pick from over 140 experiences, get a one-page display sheet for each, and add them to your event. The bidding moves fast when people see something real, not another basket.

Your club is different because the room is smaller and every member is a local business person. Decisions happen quickly. Relationships matter more than a long sales pitch. Your members have auctioned the same gift certificates for years. A real trip changes the night, and mobile bidding opens the auction to people beyond the room.

There is no cost to reserve an experience. You pay only for the experiences that sell, and you keep everything over the cost. Start the bidding just 15 to 20 percent above the cost and you make money on the first bid. If an experience does not sell, you owe nothing. The same experience can sell multiple times when bidding gets hot, doubling or tripling your profit.

Browse the catalog and reserve what fits your crowd. You will get a one-page display for each experience and a marketing email with tips. Add the items to your banquet or awards dinner. You can add them last minute, even the day of the event. After the event, send the winner details and the Travel Team books the trips. Donors have up to two years to travel for most experiences.

Your banquet wraps up with a few big moments that people remember. Winners have a trip to look forward to. Your club made money on items you only paid for after they sold. Next year, members will ask what is new before the doors even open.
