How do we open our Rotary, Lions, or Chamber auction to people beyond the room?
Live auction travel packages that open bidding to the whole community, so your Rotary, Lions, or Chamber of Commerce event raises more.
Your Rotary, Lions, or Chamber of Commerce dinner seats the same loyal members year after year. The room can only hold so many paddles, and you know there are neighbors, alumni, and local businesses who would bid if they could. That generosity stays outside the ballroom door.
A club dinner or golf outing fills a room but leaves out the wider community that also supports your cause. Many members have spouses, friends, and colleagues who want to bid on trips and experiences but cannot attend. With mobile bidding, you list your live auction items online so anyone with a phone can bid, even if they are not sitting at a table. This opens the auction to people beyond the room in a way that fits how your club works.
You browse over 140 travel and experience packages at no charge and reserve what fits your crowd. There is no upfront cost. You only pay for an experience if it sells, keep 100% over the cost, and can sell experiences multiple times if the bidding gets hot. You are not too late: items can be added the same day as your event. Starting bids set at 15-20% above cost mean profit from the very first bid.
Giveback XP supplies the photos, PDF descriptions, and marketing emails ready to list on any online bidding platform. Your club picks the experiences that match your audience, like the Country Music Awards, a Napa wine trip, or a Belize getaway. Then you let your members and the wider community bid from their phones. The Travel Team books the winners' travel and handles all details. Call to discuss which trips fit your next dinner, golf outing, or awards night.
Your auction reaches beyond the room. Neighbors, local business owners, and friends of members bid alongside the dinner crowd. Your club raises more without asking the same people to give more. A travel experience adds something new to your event while the community you serve stays involved.
