Eric Reddy mentioned a wonderful quotation by Goethe in his post earlier this week. I’ve always loved a great quotation myself. I keep many posted in my cubicle at work and at home. One of my favorites is by Van Gogh: “What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?” I try to keep it in mind when there’s something I truly want to do, but I’m afraid it won’t work out or that I’ll fail.

I don’t doubt that many of you may have that feeling when you’re about to run your first online auction. There’s often a lot at stake and it can be daunting to try to figure out where to start. Luckily, BiddingForGood is here to help you. We have a number of tools available to help you plan, build, promote, and run your online auction.  

It is important to remember why you’re doing this and all the possibilities that lay before you. With BiddingForGood, you will have many avenues for success.

1. The opportunity for a whole new group of supporters to learn about your organization and help you raise money for your cause. You'll get their email addresses and contact information when they register to bid, so you can keep communicating with them. They may continue to bid on your future auctions and give to your organization year round. They may even remain supporters for years to come!
2. The chance to create a new buzz among your community. New endeavors are exciting! The thought of sitting at home and bidding in your pajamas will appeal to just about anyone. Your supporters will have a shot at winning that fabulous trip to Italy even if they can’t make it to the gala this year. They can also bid anonymously and try out new bidding strategies online.
3. Most important, your online auction is the beginning of a new and innovative way to raise more money. Not only that, but your supporters will have fun helping you do it! Your bidders can bid with comfort and ease. They can bid anywhere and anytime. You’ve made it that much easier for them to give.

Another of my favorite quotations is by Helen Keller: “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.” Sometimes it’s important to remember that your online auction is its own adventure! Take this opportunity to take a chance at creating a new beginning for your organization. Just imagine the possibilities…
