Print & Post Flyers
Another way to help spread the word is by downloading and printing auction flyers to post on community bulletin boards. (Make sure you have permission to post.) Click here to download the poster in printable PDF format. You might consider printing a few copies to keep in your car along with some thumb tacks. That way when you run across a bulletin board, you can put up a flyer. Here's another trick – tear off one of the tabs before you post the flyer. Flyers with ripped-off tabs draw more attention.
On behalf of all of the volunteers and animals at Angel's Wish, thank you for helping to make the auction a success! |

Donation
Benefits and Information
What
we're looking for
There is no limit to what we can put in our auction catalog.
Gift certificates often bring the highest donation, but items
can be very popular, too. We can even combine items with your
partners to create an attractive package item. Bidders like
both practical and luxury items and services. Unique experiences
that you can't get elsewhere, like lunch with a local celebrity,
a private lesson from an expert, or VIP passes to a concert
or event also generate lots of interest. We also have a list
of unique, high interest items we can get at or below wholesale;
contact us if you would wish to sponsor one of these items.
Why
you should be involved
• Because
Angel's Wish is leveraging a powerful community to raise a significant
amount of money for helping pets.
• Because
auctions are a fun way to raise a lot of money for a good cause.
• Because
it's a great way for you to achieve widespread visibility by
tapping into an engaged, active community to promote your products
and services.
• Your
donation is tax-deductible and will be used to further our mission
of helping homeless animals and educating our community on animal
welfare issues.
The Benefits of
Being a Donor
• Each
item you add to our catalog, we'll include your logo and a link
to your website. It's a great way to drive traffic to your website!
• To
promote the auction, we'll send at least six targeted email
communications to our email database. Remember, our members
will pass along our e-mail messages to their own friends and
family-so there is no telling how many people our message will
reach!
• We'll
feature the Auction for Animals on our homepage, put reminders
in our newsletters, and hand out auction info to potential bidders
at our Pet Adoption and Resource Center, Mound's Dog Fest, Verona
Hometown Days, and the Oregon Summer Fest Parade. We're also
expecting excellent media coverage. It all means more people
will visit our catalog, see your logo, and potentially click
through to your website.
• In
promotional emails and on the auction homepage, we will highlight
"featured items". All items donated valued at $100
or more will be chosen as a featured item in at least one email
and on the auction home page for a week. Bidders can click directly
through to the item in the catalog, where they'll see the link
to your website.
Help us care for homeless pets
You can help Angel's Wish help care for nearly a thousand pets,
provide humane education to youth, and provide educational outreach,
just by donating an item or two! Have a question or suggestions?

Sponsorship
Information
We
would like to invite you to participate in a unique marketing
opportunity as a sponsor of our auction!
Of course, being a sponsor is rewarding for you. Not only
will you be aligning yourself with a worthy cause, you'll
be tapping into an active, engaged community over 2,000 members
strong and growing. On the auction website, as well as in
our targeted weekly emails, we will feature your logo, along
with a link to your website. That means your involvement will
be visible and your products/services accessible to each and
every one of our members. What makes this event so powerful
is that its reach is virtually unlimited…we expect many
of our visitors to spread the word about this event by forwarding
e-mails and clicking "send this page to a friend".
It's a powerful example of the "viral" nature of
the Internet and how people can come together on the Internet
to support a cause. A much wider audience will also be drawn
to the auction by our media sponsors and advertisements.
Unlike a one-time event that may be seen by a few hundred
people, our online auction provides thousands of marketing
impressions with easily-accessible links to your website.
The proceeds of the auction will help Angel's Wish help find
homes for homeless pets, provide education to the general
public, and assist with administration of our spay/neuter
program.
