Tips for Promoting a Silent Auction: What to Tweet to Promote Your Charity Auction

A charity auction coming up and wondering what to tweet? Or maybe you just want to help a charity you love by spreading the word on Twitter?

Regardless of your motif, here are some modeling ideas. I see high profit auction related tweets all the time on Twitter and I pulled a few out to get your juice flowing. (On the other hand, does this count as a RT (retweet)? I’m not sure what a tweet-to-blog communication is called.)

1. You can tweet about the donations received.

juliawun @mollyalgray I wrote a grant to Disney, asking for free tickets as a fundraising effort and we got 4 to auction at lunatique.

TPAMagazine Charity Auction: Be the first to ride the Intimidator at Carowinds. Starting offer: $50 @latimesfunland

2. You can tweet about the donations received, emphasizing the donor. This tweet does a good job of announcing the donor while also promoting her business and thanking her.

LoveYourPetExpo Barbara Williams has donated a hand-drawn portrait for our charity auction. Thanks, Barbara.

3. Give a wave to acknowledge your sponsors.

turquoisefish Excited to have @pizzafusionwell on board as a sponsor of our auction, dinner and dance to benefit therapeutic horsemanship:

4. Tweet to find volunteers. MoState_Habitat needs 4 more volunteers for a fundraiser on campus THIS Saturday, starting at noon! Help us build hope…

5. Or tweet to recount the trials and tribulations of managing incoming donations. This Rotary Club is writing a witty story about their experiences. I can’t wait to read the next installment!

jasondcrane The adventure begins! Two guys, 400+ pounds, a tandem bike, a @Rotary fundraiser… hilarity ensues.

6. This is a smart way to advertise the charity you support, while also advertising your business and/or hobby for hire.

oneredapple Getting ready for my next project: a children’s chair to donate to the Center for Grieving Children’s fundraising auction on February 2nd. 5!

7. You can tweet any changes to meeting dates or times.

clairbourn Hello Clairbourn Community, The date for Clairbourn’s Spring Benefit and Auction, “An Evening in Shanghai”, has been… http://bit.ly/5PCXS4

FreedomHouse1 After 5 Benefit Bid Committee meeting moved to Tuesday at 5 pm Anyone interested, please call (815) 872-0087.

8. You can request donations. Even famous.

SpursGyal @PerezHilton Would you consider donating something signed to the @ACTforSMA charity auction to help terminally ill babies? Thank you

paula6thlevel RT @TheIITT: Seeking donations for the IITT’s charity auction for ChildLine at the IT Training Awards. Thank you!

9. Tweet for help finding a location for your charity auction

eith2miller I’m looking for a space downtown to host a charity auction for Haiti. Does anyone know of a place that might work? 3-5 days…

10. Tweet to say “thank you” when the benefit has ended. lunanola The dance auction/benefit was a huge success – belly dancing, burlesque, salsa and African dance performances with beautiful costumes!
