This sounds too good to be true. Do I have to sell some certificates in order to get my free hot air balloon ride?
No, you don’t have to sell any certificates to get your free ticket. You just have to set up our kit in your Silent Auction, and offer all three rides. We have found that, on average, if all three posters are put up, a significant number of rides are sold at every auction. This is a win-win arrangement. And, there is no up-front cost and no risk to you. You only purchase a ride ticket after you have sold it and collected the money. If you don’ sell it, you don’ buy it.
Help! My silent auction is tonight, can I use your balloon rides in my silent auction?
Absolutely! Just print out the Balloon Ride Auction Kit and go! You have everything you need to make your silent auction display.
We are having a live auction at our event. Can we include a Balloon Ride in our Live Auction?
Sure. Live Auctions have worked well for many organizations. The ride for two or the ride for four work best. Just be sure to start the bidding at the price you pay for the ride. If no one bids, just don’ buy the ride from us. If it bids up, usually 2 to 3 times your cost, you have a guaranteed profit. Easy.
Table space is limited. I only want to put up 1 or 2 of the posters. May I do that?
Yes, if space is at a premium and you can’t put up all 3 posters you may put up fewer than the 3 that are in the kit. However, you will not get the Free Ticket unless you put up all three posters.
What if I Request the Silent Auction Kit and then decide not to use it in my auction?
That's totally okay. We know that you are working with a group of people on this event. People often have to run the idea past their auction committees. So, go ahead, print or order the Silent Auction Kit. Included with the signs are two pages of guidance and tips. You can share the idea with your colleagues on the event and decide together if it is right for your auction. Of course, we are here to help and we hope everyone likes it! But, you are under no obligation to include the items in your auction.
What is the minimum age for a hot air balloon ride?
The minimum age is six years old.
