Once again, the American Sign Museum will be holding its annual Online Auction to benefit our operating budget. the museum by donating products, equipment and/or services to our 2014 auction.
The auction – while online – is held in conjunction with the International Sign Association Expo in Orlando, Florida. Online bidding will begin on Tuesday, April 1 at 10:00 am EST and close at 3 pm EST on Saturday, April 26, 2014 — the last day of the show. Bidders will once again be able to bid on items at our booth at the show (Booth #1416). Accordingly, those of you who are exhibiting new products at the show may very well want to feature them by donating these same products to the auction. What a wonderful way to announce your newest offerings!
In addition to promoting products and services related to the sign industry, we also welcome consumer goods, such as iPads, cameras, vacations, you name it! Gift certificates are always a great idea. A minimum retail/market value of $500 is suggested.
Many state and regional sign associations have already agreed to promote the auction to their members. Sign industry-related sites such as www.signweb.com will also be highlighting the auction. Additionally, you can hyperlink to your web site from our online auction website and feature any or all products. You may even want to create a special area on your site just for the online auction. And don’t forget social media opportunities! The possibilities are limitless.
