Protravel Auction Rewards unveils Christmas-themed prizes for the festive season
Howard Lake | 29 September 2011 | News
Organisations looking to maximise the fun and excitement at their Christmas event, while raising as much money as possible for charity, need look no further than the innovative range of seasonal auction prizes available from Protravel Auction Rewards.
Protravel Auction Rewards offers a range of Christmas-inspired prizes to suit any budget. They are a risk-free option for organisers as the reserve price on the auction item is only paid once met and anything over and above that amount is a valuable donation to the charity in question.
Among the festive auction rewards available are:
– A trip to the ICEHOTEL in Sweden: this once in a lifetime trip starts with a dogsled husky ride through the snow, followed by coffee and cake by the campfire and three nights stay in warm accommodation near to the ICEHOTEL, with an option to spend one of the nights in one of the ice rooms. With the chance to try ice or snow sculpting, a tour to see the Northern Lights and a visit to the Esrange Space Center, it is an experience that will never be forgotten.
– Ice skating in Central Park: the opportunity to join thousands of New Yorkers and tourists from around the world who enjoy ice skating in Central Park each winter.
– White Christmas at home: no more dreaming of a white Christmas as this prize is the real thing. A team will transform any home into a winter wonderland with real snow and decorations. Added to this is a visit to a toy store where children can write their Christmas list and the experience is topped off with a visit from Santa on a reindeer sleigh.
– Record a Christmas song: a visit to a studio where an experienced session engineer/producer will guide the winner through the process of recording a song, with the final result put on to CD to take home.
Chris Tiney, Director of Protravel Auction Rewards, said: “Auctions form a key part of many Christmas events and raise hundreds of thousands of pounds for good causes each year. To create a real buzz around the event and to maximise the funds raised, it is important that the items going under the hammer are not only appropriate and appealing to the people attending, but also that they have the ‘wow’ factor in order to create impact and get competitive bidding going through the roof. ‘Money can’t buy’ and out of the ordinary prizes on the auction list will grab the headlines and attract attention and big prizes mean big incentives to attend and generate bigger donations.”
