We’ve done several virtual auctions recently and seen some success with organizations updating their Donor base with both text messages and emails.
Below are some email templates that have worked well.
Some highlights:
1 – With HelloFund Virtual Auctions, you have the ability to make items Invisible. Making an Item Invisible allows you to market a Surprise Item when you are ready to Activate. This generates excitement and also gets people back to the main auction site to bid.
2 – We recommend using your preferred Email provider to create emails to your Donor base. We have found most organizations we work with utilize Mailchimp, Constant Contact, or Emma. While you have the ability to send emails through HelloFund’s Virtual Auction, you are able to do a little more customization through these providers…and you may have your Donor information already in one of these email providers.
