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.”
