Auction Marketing & Management
Creating. Sharing. Connecting.
As in any business, your surplus auction, commercial real estate auction, municipal auctions or business liquidation auction will only be as successful as the marketing efforts you put behind them. From how to position your assets to who will be the most likely to buy it, having a comprehensive marketing plan will not only help you sell faster, it’ll likely result in a better return as well!
From developing a detailed marketing strategy through to running the event itself, we’re there with you throughout the entire process to make sure you achieve the best results possible!
Auction Marketing
Our strategies rest on the premise that successful auctions employ detailed marketing plans based on effective communication. Strategic Auction Alliance develops strategies designed specifically to target those who’d be most interested in your Massachusetts real estate auctions, NH real estate auctions, municipal surplus auctions and other auctions throughout the northeast and reach them through the appropriate channels. In order to do this, we employ a variety of tools ranging from direct mail and email marketing to social media campaigns and traditional print media.
We recognize that each situation is unique and requires its own customized solution in order to make the auction a success. After all – each auction is different. Should you market to local buyers or would it be wise to consider an internet simulcast? Should you hold your business liquidation, charity auction or benefit auction on a certain day and in a certain place or will that conflict with a similar auction being held at the same time? Does your market tend to value direct mail over email marketing? What are they most likely to respond to? All of these are questions you’ll need the answers to, and we’ll present the solutions you’re looking for.
We use a variety of tools in a variety of combinations that get results, including:
- In-house web development and graphic design
- Extensive database of known auction buyers
- Targeted email campaigns and reporting
- Real-time simulcast auction options
- Website monitoring and statistical analysis
- National auction syndication on 50+ websites
- Print media, press releases and trade publications
- Prominent, customized property signage
- Highly detailed, downloadable property information packages that include data forms, plot plans, tax cards, aerial photos and zoning
In addition, we provide all the collateral items necessary for the auction. From auction catalogues detailing each item, to comprehensive information packets that allow bidders to make informed decisions, we put together everything you’ll need to position your inventory to sell!
