Benefits of Donating a Silent Auction Item
Supporting the OMCA Silent Auction is one of the best ways to invest in your business, the industry, and the tourism community. All items will be available for bidding online during the OMCA conference – even those not able to attend will still be able to participate. This auction is entirely online and will be viewed by all OMCA members, not just those attending Marketplace. Bidding will be open from November 13th to December 17th.
High-value gifts (electronics, luggage, jewelry, etc.) and vacation packages are the donations that draw the most attention. What better way to draw the attention of OMCA Members to all that your destination has to offer or wow your target market with an eye-catching gift?
