About Larsen & Larsen Auction Company
Non-profit organizations are always competing for funding. That means we need to work with you to keep your donors focused on your organization.
Auction attendees are also getting younger. With social media and busy lifestyles, they have shorter attention spans and are looking to be entertained. Gone are the days an auctioneer can just get up and sell items to the highest bidder. This new generation of donors is looking for more. They want to be part of a giving experience that all of their friends will be talking about and that they can post on social media.
Larsen & Larsen Auction Company not only understands this need, but also creates our events to cater to it. We pride ourselves on entertaining your audience, helping you raise the most possible money, and retaining and engaging new donors. You may have 1,000 people in your audience, but only 30 active bidders during your live auction. The other 970 attendees still want to be entertained and part of the action. We make sure the whole audience is included in the fun!
