✍️ Intro Paragraph
Offering charity travel packages at your fundraising event is one of the most powerful ways to drive high bids and donor excitement — but many nonprofits lose money or momentum simply because they don’t know how to price or promote them correctly.
In this post, we’ll walk you through exactly how to price your travel auction items, and how to get donors engaged before the event even begins. Whether you're planning a gala, school auction, or virtual fundraiser, this strategy works — and it’s 100% risk-free.
💰 Part 1: How to Price Your Travel Packages for Maximum Success
When using consignment travel packages, you don’t pay anything upfront. Instead, you pay the base price only if the item sells, and keep 100% of the profit above that cost.
Our recommended pricing model:
✅ Start the bidding at 20%–30% above base cost
Example:
Base cost to your nonprofit: $1,595
Recommended starting bid: $1,895 – $2,095
Average winning bid: $2,600+
📌 This gives you:
A guaranteed profit from the first bid
A fair and transparent starting price for donors
The potential for $800–$1,500+ in profit on a single item
✅ Never start at the base cost — it feels too low and kills momentum.
📣 Part 2: How to Promote Travel Packages Before & During the Event
You can’t sell what your donors don’t see or understand. Promotion = power.
✅ Pre-Event Checklist:
Add the travel package titles & highlights to your event website
Post teaser graphics and PDF placards on social media
Mention the destinations in your email campaign (“Win a trip to Napa!”)
Share the “no-risk” model to generate confidence (“Only one winner, but it raises big dollars”)
✅ At the Event:
Use display placards (we provide them for every package)
Have your MC or auctioneer explain the trip live
Emphasize exclusivity: “You won’t find this in stores or online”
💡 Bonus Tip: Run a silent auction bid sheet for travel packages even during dinner to keep energy up.
