“It’s been an absolute joy working with Dan and the A Star team for the last couple of years. The service is exceptional and they are always there for us whenever we need them. No ask is too big and we feel how much A Star care about the work we do. At our events we know exactly what to expect, but they always go above and beyond. Dan will always go the extra mile to make sure our supporters are incredibly well looked which we really appreciate. The clue is in the name – this really is “A Star” fundraising expertise and I can’t speak highly enough.”

“Working with Dan and the whole A Star team has been an incredible experience from start to finish. A personal touch before, during and after our events has made a real difference to our fundraising. This was the first time we’d welcomed an auction company into our calendar of events, with Dan providing a transparency and friendliness that we could trust. No matter which format of silent auction we choose to run, the team give us a solution spot on for each individual occasion and audience. A Star are a fundraising partner I’d recommend again and again knowing how fantastically they operate and the amazing results they continue to achieve event to event. Thank you A Star and see you on the next event!”

“The Charlie Gard Foundation were delighted to work together with Dan and A Star Experience to raise funds for the Charlie Gard Foundation, at a dinner held at the Roundhouse for 600 people, and an Online Event during the covid pandemic. The friendly, ever-present, thoughtful, and efficient support provided by the team prior to the evening was integral to the success of the event.

Whether in helping to source prizes, putting together a fabulous and eye-catching brochure, running the Silent and Live Auctions on the night or collating payments, the team were on hand at each stage, and we are incredibly grateful for the above and beyond personal support which they provided in making the evening such a great success.”

Still got some unanswered questions? Check out our FAQs below
What type of auction services do you offer?

We offer silent auction tablets, brochures, online auctions or a hybrid solution. But most importantly, we aim to tailor a package that meets the needs and requirements of your event. We would recommend getting in touch with one of the team today to tell us a little bit of information about what you are looking for from a fundraising partner. Our team will put together a free proposal for you on what we can offer.

Do I have to use A Star Experience auction items or can I use my own?

You absolutely can use your own. You’re also more than welcome to use A Star Experience items too. Any of your own items that have been donated by a generous supporter can be included within the auction. Your items will be placed at the forefront of the auction lot list for prime viewing. All the funds raised on any auction items that have been donated to you or you have sourced will go to you. A Star Experience does not take any margin or commission on any of these items. 

What is the cost to run a silent auction?

We are fully aware that with any event (especially charity events), it’s really important to keep costs down and save where you can. This is why we try our best to keep any costs at a minimum for you. 

Any costs are done on a ‘sliding scale’ depending on how many A Star Experiences items you want to include in the auction. If you were to include a number of A Star items in your auction, then we will try our very best to provide our auction service free for you. To hear more about these options, please reach out to one of the team today. The number of A Star items needed to include within your auction to get our service for free might be less than you think!

What is included in the silent auction brochure service?

We will always try and tailor the perfect solution for you, but the auction brochure service normally is provided for free, with the inclusion of some luxury A Star Experience items within the auction lot. 

The brochures will always be branded to your event/charity’s guidelines. Our design team will produce a brochure that you will sign off and, once happy, we will print the brochure for you as well. 

We will also supply staff to be in attendance on the day to engage with your guests, answer any questions and promote the auction. Post-event, we will take care of all the payment collection for you, and our aim will be to get you paid as quickly as possible after the event. For much more detail on what is included within this service, please do reach out to one of the team today. 

What is included in the silent auction tablet service?

We will always try and tailor the perfect solution for you. With the tablet service, you will have a choice of the market-leading tech platforms within the industry. You will receive a dedicated Event Liaison Manager, who will be on hand to build your auction for you and answer any questions you may have. The platform will be branded to the event/charity guidelines. 

 

At the event we will supply staff to be in attendance on the day to engage with your guests, answer any questions and promote the auction. A minimum of two tablets will be placed on each table. Post-event, we will take care of all the payment collection for you, and our aim will be to get you paid as quickly as possible after the event. For more detail on what is included within this service, please do reach out to one of the team today.

What is included in the online silent auction service?

With the tablet service, you will have a choice of the market-leading tech platforms within the industry. You will receive a dedicated Event Liaison Manager, who will be on hand to build your auction for you and answer any questions you may have. The platform will be branded to the event/charity guidelines. Your online auction can run for as long as you like. Typically, most clients run their online auctions for anywhere between 1 – 4 weeks but are not limited to this timescale. To receive more information on the online auction service, please reach out to one of the team today. 

Do you only do auctions for charity events?

Not at all. Any event can be used for a silent auction. We often attend awards dinners, Premier League football matches and golf days as an example, in addition to all the charity events. Please get in touch with a member of the team who can tell you more about what we can offer.
