“ Consignment “ or “ Guardian Angel “ Donations
As a consignment company, we are naturally in favor of non-profits adding our items to their events, in an effort to pick up additional dollars, and possibly find the one item the compels someone in the audience to strike a generous purchase price, thus giving the charity windfall margins.
But the allure of consignment items is much more than that alone. It is getting harder and harder to not only receive quality items as donations, but virtually impossible to fill all the various categories that might be of interest to your patrons. Our items add excitement to your event, visually stimulate your guests, and compel your patrons to come back next year for new and exciting offerings. This, in addition to the items you get as outright donations make for an enchanting experience for your guests.
In addition, as charities stage event after event, year after year, they need to re-invent themselves and freshen their event. Our items offer just that opportunity.
But some charities cannot, or choose not to utilize consignment items for their events. At CharityWorks, we have a solution for just that challenge. We call it our “ Guardian Angel “ program.
In our “ Guardian Angel “ program, we will sell our items to your sponsors or donor patrons at Wholesale prices. That’s right, your sponsors and donors can buy auction items from us at the very same prices we offer them to you on consignment. These items are then donated to your event, and come to your group as outright donations. Simply put your donors and/or sponsors in touch with us, and we will work with them to select items within their budget, tailored to your event (this is just like a bridal registry). Therefore, these are not consignment items, and your charity can offer them in the silent and/or live auction with 100% of the funds, going to your cause.
Two simple programs, and either way, your charity event has the freshest and most desirable product in the marketplace.
So choose between our “ Consignment” or “ Guardian Angel “ program for your event today.
