The Situation
With just hours to go before their event, our client had received an overwhelming number of donated prizes for their planned live auction. Their only option to maximize fundraising was to add the items into a silent auction.
With the clock ticking, the client turned to us for a quick solution. The answer? An online auction using our Sliderstock platform, which could be set up and supported remotely, giving the client the flexibility they needed during the early part of their event.
This last-minute change created a whirlwind of activity. With only a few hours to act, the client was scrambling to find a solution that would allow them to raise funds from all their donated items while also ensuring the event was a success. Their focus was on the overall event experience, but now they needed immediate assistance to make the most of their fundraising efforts.
How Impulse Decisions stepped in
We had just two hours to make this happen. After a quick meeting with the client to understand their needs, our marketing team sprang into action, working on setting up the online auction. Meanwhile, our sales team was in constant communication with the client to confirm which items would go into the live and silent auctions. Once the list was confirmed, we worked efficiently to ensure that each item ended up in the right auction, creating a seamless experience for the guests.
The Outcome
The event was a massive success. Guests registered and placed bids effortlessly, and the silent auction raised over £4500 for their chosen cause. The client was thrilled with how smoothly everything went, especially given the short time frame. The morning after the event, they expressed their gratitude, praising the team for our quick turnaround and exceptional service

“Five stars hardly seems adequate for what these guys did. We contacted them ridiculously late in the day when we realised that the auction for our fundraising event was significantly over-subscribed and we needed to convert some of it to a silent auction.
Their starting point was to ask what we needed and then how they could provide it. They were driven at all times by our needs. The platform that they provided was simple to use and easily accessed. The contract terms were very reasonable
Using Impulse Decisions has been an entirely positive experience. We shall be using them again in the future and have no hesitation in recommending them to others.
Thank you again for your efforts yesterday. We really appreciated it.”
