You’ve decided on the venue, planned your schedule, finalised the menu, organised fundraising and sold all your tickets. What else do you need to do to make sure your fundraising event is a huge success?
How about booking a totally risk-free service to help you raise even more money, with absolutely no outlay? Designed to take less than a minute of your busy schedule and a great addition to existing auctions and raffles, the service offered by premierpromotionsuk.com is guaranteed to raise significant extra profit.
Premier Promotions have been trading authentic autographed sporting, movie and music memorabilia since 2005. In that time we have become one of the leading suppliers of items to fundraising dinners and similar events.
Our unique table auction service has been used by some of the top event-organisers in the country and we have helped raise thousands of pounds for our clients since. All of this has been funding on top of money already raised from ticket sales and the organisers' own auctions and raffles.
The table auction works as an add-on to the standard fundraising dinner or event and is guaranteed to increase the funds raised. If you are organising a fundraising event and are interested in receiving even more money while adding only a few minutes to your current schedule, please take a moment to read the process.
WHY CHOOSE US?
How can premierpromotionsuk.com help you make more money from your fundraising events?
Large profits from table auctions.
A silent/table auction supported by premierpromotionsuk.com, acting as agents, is a simple and cost-effective way to raise large amounts of additional revenue, with as little effort on your part as possible.
95% of our clients chose to run one of our silent/table auctions alongside their own regular auctions and raffles. In many cases, clients have benefited from large profits from the auctions we run on behalf of event organisers alone and often the money we raise becomes the biggest fundraiser of the night.
There’s no risk. Absolutely no expenditure is required for our services - any costs are simply deducted from the money raised on the night. All items are supplied on a sale or return basis and auctioned with minimum bid values that ensure additional funds if sold, so the client cannot possibly lose money.
Up to 70% of the funds raised go to the cause and 30% to us as an administration charge for supporting the auction. Therefore, the onus is on us to raise as much as possible for you.
Our staff do all the work for you, from displaying and parading the items during the event and answering any questions your guests may have about the items, to taking payments and following up any outstanding bids.
As guests are able to make their bids in their own time during the meal (on sheets we provide) minimal time is taken out of your schedule. Just a simple announcement at the start of the meal is needed to explain the bidding procedure, which we also supply the script for.
GREAT ITEMS
Premier Promotions are one of the leading suppliers of sports memorabilia in the country, with signed items from top names, including Sir Alex Ferguson, Sir Geoff Hurst, Frank Bruno, Sir Henry Cooper, Sir Garfield Sobers, Maradona and Pele.
All of our signed products are presented in excellent framed displays and supplied with Certificates of Authenticity. We supply these to you on a sale or return basis at unbeatable cost prices.
TAILORED TO YOUR NEEDS
We can adapt our silent/table auction to your particular event. Our stock allows us to select specific items to maximise the chance of high bids. For instance, at an auction in London, we could include a range of items from football clubs such as Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs, West Ham and so on, whilst an event at a cricket club could be provided with signed pictures and bats from the biggest names in the sport.
SATISFACTION FOR YOUR GUESTS
All our items are delivered to winning bidders on your behalf, within 14 days and completely free of charge. We have a dedicated customer service phone line and an exemplary record of dealing with problems quickly and efficiently, so your guests will be completely satisfied with their purchases. We can also provide items to be auctioned on the night and taken away by the winning guests. A Certificate of Authenticity and documentation would follow.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Our team will arrive at your venue a few hours before the event is due to start and set up for the silent auction. We require one or two tables and an area to display our items, preferably near the entrance so guests see them as they arrive.
We will also place a bidding sheet, listing all the items and their minimum bids at each seating area, so your guests can browse the selection and make bids at their leisure.
On average we require less than 30 minutes to set up and will not need to use any of your staff. Throughout the evening our staff will be on hand to answer any questions your guests may have about the memorabilia or the auction itself. The only thing we ask of you is that your compère makes a short announcement at the start of proceedings to explain the auction process, which we will supply the script for.
At some point during the meal a few members of our team will parade the items around the tables so guests can have a closer look at them. Towards the end of the meal, usually between the main course and dessert, our staff will collect the bidding sheets from all the tables. We will then work out the winning bidders for each item and politely arrange delivery and payment. We usually give bidders the option to pay on the night with a credit card, cheque or cash, or provide contact details so we can obtain payment at a later date. All of this is tailored to suit your schedule.
We will agree with you beforehand, at which point all of the above shall be carried out so we are not interrupting any important parts of your event's programme. Our experience of operating at these events means you can trust our staff to be discreet and diligent at all times.

SO HOW MUCH WILL I MAKE?
The amount of money raised at each event we attend varies depending on a number of factors. The important thing to remember is that, whatever happens, anything we do raise on your behalf is additional funding for you.
The following recent examples show the broad range of results we achieve from attending different types of events, with varying numbers of guests. The figures given are the (approximate) final totals received by the event organisers from the silent auctions and don't include any money they raised from their own auctions.
If the event you are organising matches one of the descriptions below you could expect to receive an additional sum in the same region as those listed, by booking our services. Whatever the figure we raise for you, it will be an extra source of revenue with absolutely no outlay and very little effort on your part.
RECENT EXAMPLES
Our silent auction raised £3,500 at a Midlands Sportsman’s dinner attended by 300 people.
We organised a football Q & A with 250 guests and raised £3,900.
At a Charity event in Coalville we raised over £800, with £500 going to charity.
As you can see, we cater for a wide range of events and can help with yours no matter where it features on the scale. There is no fundraising event, no matter how big or small, that would not benefit from the extra revenue brought by a silent/table auction from premierpromotionsuk.com.
