Pop Art Balloon Dress Auction

Pop Value is determined by this equation:

Retail value of donated items divided by number of items = Pop Value.

Example: $5000 value divided by 200 items = $25.00 pop value 

How long does it take to make a balloon dress and what is my fee?  

One Dress could take up to 9 hours to build must be created 24 hours prior to event.

My Fee percentage is on a sliding scale basis:

$2,000 or below I get 50% of money raised

$2,001 -$3,000 I get 40% of money raised

$3.001 -$5.000 I get 30% of money raised

$5,001- $10,000 I get 25% of money raised

$10,001- or more I get 20% of money raised

Rules of the Pop Dress Prizes

• Every round balloon has a prize Ticket  in it with you organization’s logo
• Prize tickets will be numbered and redeemed at the prize table. 
• Organization will provide table display of prizes similar to a silent auction
• Organization will have at least one person manning prize table throughout the entire Event (this way we get the people who leave early)
• Prize numbers are secret!  Please do not number items, instead have a master sheet with item numbers on it, the prize and description what prize is ( IE, gifts certificate, framed art, box, bag, basket…) (Excel spreadsheet works the best)
• Model and the escort will solicit guests to pop a balloon for a donation amount. Cash is preferred but I can except credit card charges via mobile payment such as Square but cash is the easiest and least cumbersome way of doing this.
• Pop value may be lowered later in the evening to finish off the promotion at the discretion of the escort.
• Remember my model is a person and deserves respect. I prefer someone from your organization…  However a model can be provided.  Model fee is at $100-$200 per hour paid by your organization.
• Please remember to have both valued and intrinsic prizes.  Valued are monetary gift certificates and things with $$on it.  Intrinsic are items are perceived value bottles of wine, salon shampoo, gift baskets. Inexpensive bottles of wine tied to a ribbon seem more valuable 
• Do not announce when the big prize is given out. Do have more than one big prize too!

It is strongly suggested To Have A “Cinderella Moment” Where we introduce the balloon dress to the party.as ( Miss /Mrs. Lady Luck )An introduction is given to the group about who, what and why we are doing this. Very Important that the list of fabulous prizes should be read off. A short auction could be held at this moment to sell the first pop on the dress. This drums up excitement for the future sales . Remember it is a group effort. Dare, Tease, Beguile, Razz and coo people into participating.  More balloons popped in the begining value more money for your organization.

Consider this:

1. The prizes are donated
2.  I get paid a percentage of the fundraiser for my effort.
3. Everyone has an amazing time popping the balloons on the dress & getting their picture taken with the model.
4.  Everyone wins and it cost your organization nothing!

Have you ever collected money for a charity in such a fun way with no risk of losing $$? If the answer is No! Then what do you have to lose? (Well besides nothing!)
