Our Services

Lloyd Cooper SSFL Auction

Lloyd Cooper and his staff have had the privilege of serving non-profit organizations in the North Texas area since 1990. We do much more than simply keep crowds entertained, energized and bidding. Our clients include private and public schools, churches, foundations, clubs and other organizations.

No auction is too big or too small. We conduct auctions for groups as large as 1,000 and as small as 20 to 30.

Don't go it alone!
One of the biggest mistakes non-profits make is failing to contact us early in the event planning process. We have conducted hundreds of benefit auctions - as well as served as event chairs. When you invite us to join your team early in the planning process, we can help you avoid expensive mistakes which could cost your organization thousands of dollars in lost revenue.

Live &
Silent Auctions

A fund-raising auction is unlike any other charitable fund-raiser and offers a number of unique challenges. The goal is not simply to sell items, but to get the audience excited about the mission of your organization. We inspire the audience so they care enough to bid high and bid often.

When you host your online auction with Benefit Bidding, we create a custom branded online auction website which can also be used to obtain auction items and cash donations. If you are planning a live event in addition to the online auction, you can advertise the event, sell tickets, honor your sponsors, and take bids weeks before your gala event - thus increasing awareness of your organization and raising more money!

postheadericon Why should you hire a professional auctioneer?

A professional auctioneer generates more revenue as well as makes the evening more enjoyable for your guests.

Quite often, organizations believe they will save money by using a volunteer or a local celebrity. While using a volunteer rather than a paid auctioneer may seem like a good idea, your organization will lose revenue. Novices leave money on the table because they are not able to maximize bidding.

A fund-raising auction is unlike any other charitable fund-raiser and offers a number of unique challenges. As professional fund-raising auctioneers, Lloyd and his staff understand this environment better than any volunteer, celebrity or other type of auctioneer. The goal is not only to sell items, but to get your audience excited about the mission of your organization. An effective auctioneer will inspire the audience to bid high and bid often. When planning your event, you will hire the best caterer, decorator, designer, etc. you can afford.
Why try to save when it comes to the person motivating your guests to open their checkbooks?
