PAPER SUPPLIES


Though it’s a material you see less and less of, paper still serves a valuable function at your auction. (And not just as celebratory confetti when you reach your funding goal.) Forms for the silent auction, live auction clerking forms, bid numbers, procurement forms – these are all very important tracking methods for your auction.

COMPUTERS & SOFTWARE


We recommend using a professional company to contract computer equipment and networking services. Our favorite companies to work with is Elite Services & Support. They will provide all of the equipment necessary (with appropriate software installed), printers and necessary connections. Experienced and professional technicians will set everything up and then when the event is over and you’re tired, they will even tear it all down removing the equipment and provide a fresh copy of your auction data to go.
