"Running a silent auction will cost too much."
Our service is free of charge, with all costs built into the reserve price of each item. We pay the charity everything above the reserve price, so there’s no financial risk involved.
"The silent auction will interfere with my event."
Silent auctions are discreet and run seamlessly alongside your event. Brochures are placed at each table, allowing guests to bid at their leisure, without interrupting the flow of the event.
"We already have fundraising activities, so we don’t need a silent auction."
A silent auction can complement existing fundraising efforts like live auctions or raffles, offering a wider range of prizes and increasing the overall funds raised, all at no extra cost.
"Guests will feel pressured to bid on auction items."
We offer a diverse range of prizes that cater to different tastes and budgets, with no pressure to bid. Guests can browse the brochure and choose whether to participate, making the process comfortable for everyone.
"It’s not the right audience for a silent auction."
Our auction items appeal to a wide variety of interests, from sports memorabilia to luxury experiences, ensuring there’s something for everyone. Guests enjoy supporting charity while getting something in return, leading to high participation rates.
"There are too many items in the brochure."
We understand that silent auctions typically appeal to around 5% of an audience. Our expert team ensures the perfect balance of items to engage guests, offering a variety of options to suit different personalities, incomes, and donation preferences.

Client Testimonials and Success Stories
Hear what our clients say about their unforgettable experiences and successful events with Impulse Decisions.
“Your offerings were great value, with lots of variety, which guests appreciated. The way you collected money without distracting guests too much went a long way – people tend to engage more when it’s less intense.”
Silent Auction Client“The onsite delivery of the auction through Impulse went very smoothly, and the attendees really enjoyed it!”
Silent Auction Client“Excellent, discreet, and courteous to our guests.”
Silent Auction Client“Very professional and not overbearing. A lot of times auctions can feel pressured, but this felt comfortable and allowed more interest from our attendees.”
Silent Auction Client“Really great – very professional service, efficient, and self-sufficient, so we didn’t need to worry about the running of it.”
Silent Auction Client“Clear communication from the team, excellent selection of auction prizes, which were well displayed. The team wasn’t too intrusive.”
Silent Auction Client“Thank you, Impulse. The sports club takes all the profits from the game, and it’s difficult to raise funds during the event. Raising £2.5k was beyond our expectations. We will definitely use you again!”
Silent Auction Client"Many thanks for the detailed report and I know the Mayor was very impressed with how it all went, seamlessly. From my point of view, I was also very impressed with the little work, actually hardly any and also did not take any time up on the night from our running order and to come away just shy of £6k is marvellous."
