Protravel, the leading provider of travel and entertainment promotions solutions,
has launched Protravel Auction Rewards, a service that enables charities and fundraisers
to offer big headline travel and leisure prizes at no risk to themselves.

 

Headed up by former England and Saracens rugby player Nick Lloyd, Protravel Auction
Rewards offers travel and leisure packages that are specifically designed to be 
auctioned at charity events or in fundraising activity. The packages are tailor-
made to suit the organiser’s budget, target audience and objectives, and range from
dance lessons at the Rio Carnival or hospitality at the US Open, to a hot air balloon
flight or annual cinema pass.

Costs are guaranteed for 12 months from the draw date, giving winners flexibility
when redeeming and allowing organisers to place a reserve on the award whilst easily
managing the budget. The reserve price is only paid once met and anything over and
above that amount is a valuable donation to the organisation hosting the event.

 

In addition, Protravel Auction Rewards can offer ‘Auction Extras’, a host of services
designed to enhance the event by involving all the guests attending and allowing
organisers to offer amazing prizes at a fraction of the cost. Examples include ‘
Prize Me Open’ themed table gifts, which offer guests the chance to win a variety
of prizes ranging from diamonds to holidays, and ‘Safe Cracker,’ which gives one
lucky guest the chance to win a once in a lifetime prize.

 

Nick Lloyd, Director of Protravel Auction Rewards, says: “Big prizes mean big incentives
to attend and even bigger donations. In today’s economic climate, as marketing budgets
have been squeezed, companies are no longer donating items for auction as frequently
as they have done in the past. Protravel Auction Rewards is a risk free way for 
organisers to boost their auction list with ‘money can’t buy’ travel prizes and 
create a real buzz and great publicity around their event.”

 

All of the packages include a comprehensive prizewinner management service which
includes a dedicated account manager for direct winner liaison, branded correspondence,
a personalised itinerary with travel wallet and luggage labels and destination tourist
information.
