Company Solutions Ltd is trialling an innovative way of selling some of its fundraising services.
This Summer it is auctioning two services to the highest bidder. Charities are invited to place bids on 20 training course places or 100 grantmaking trust applications.
The top single or multiple bids will win the prizes, "depending on the number of bids and value".
Gareth Edwards of Company Solutions says "If charities like the concept, we will be repeating it regularly".
The normal price for the training courses would be £1,386.50 including VAT, and £1762.50 including VAT for the 100 trust applications researched and carried out.
Selling fundraising services or products to the highest bidder is unlikely to appeal to many of the larger fundraising agencies with a certain degree of fixed costs, but for a smaller agency it might help it stand out from the crowd and give charity clients the sense that they are acquiring services at a discount.
