This is where all the preparation and experience really pays off! Insuring the comfort of the bidders on auction day is a must. Maintaining a stress-free environment by providing quality refreshments, restroom facilities, quick registration and checkout keep our buyers comfortable and ready to bid! Cleaning up after the sale is also a very big part in taking care of our clients. Proper planning and attention to detail ensure an event that is exciting and worry free day for both buyer and seller.
There are many steps to building a successful auction. Identifying and understanding the items is key to promoting and planning your sale! Only then as a company that is focused on professional seamless service can we begin to plan our marketing strategy to maximize profit and set your auction apart from the rest! To help you understand more of how we work, we have provided an overview of the process from start to finish.
Lots of preparation and hundreds of hours of work can go into an auction before the first item is even sold! From advertising, cataloging, contacting potential buyers, clean up, moving, to taking pictures, our team will be fulfilling all the needs to make your auction a success. Our clients will be informed of progress throughout the whole process which lets you know what to expect when auction day arrives. This is when we start to advertise your sale so that potential buyers may have a chance to inspect the items, kick the tires on equipment, and participate in open houses.
The auction process begins as soon as you call Wilkerson Auction Service! We arrange an appointment to meet in person and explain what services we will provide, our auction method, terms and conditions, commissions, and possible marketing strategies. Once terms are established a contract is drawn up and the Wilkerson Auction team is set into motion!
