Client Testimonials
“Working with Auction Cause was a godsend! We were putting together a last-minute holiday auction and were in dire need of assistance. Auction Cause came through and helped us organize and execute our auction with favorable results. Not only are they good at what they do but they’re also a great bunch of people to work with – kind, smart and immensely insightful. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to work with them again.”
— Alexis Tirado, MTV.com
“Many thanks to you and your amazing team at Auction Cause. Your hard work, dedication, and patience were instrumental in helping make our event a huge success! You have been such a pleasure to work wit and we look forward to maintaining this relationship in the future.”
— Rebecca Epstein, Special Events Manager, Salvatore Ferragamo
“I cannot thank you enough for all your help and your team’s support to make the NLGJA auction a success. Your guidance and advice were invaluable. Please pass along my gratitude to your folks.”
— Javier Morgado, Supervising Producer TODAY Show
“It was great to work with the Auction Cause team as they provided a full service support for our charity auction.”
— Tom Hanks & Rita Wilson
“Auction Cause is my partner of choice for all celebrity-related programming that my clients undertake. I have worked with Eric and his team for over 3 years now and their professionalism, 24 hour a day responsiveness and ‘whatever it takes to get the job done’ attitude are unrivaled in the business. They consistently deliver as promised and I wholeheartedly recommend them for any and all cause-marketing initiatives.”
— Dan Strickford, PMK/HBH Public Relations
“Honestly, if I ever go into battle, run for office, start a business, etc., etc., — you would be the first appointed to my team.”
— Lauren Baum, KAPLOW PR
“There are many ways to run a high profile charity auction online, but only one way to do it right…with Auction Cause as a partner. Eric and his team are top notch professionals and completely reliable. With Auction Cause, A&E was able to facilitate several high profile eBay events with ease – they have the expertise to set up the event and run the bidding in a controlled fashion – important when you’re auctioning a dinner with Gene Simmons!”
— Andrew Wise, VP Consumer Products, A&E Television Networks
“Auction Cause has been an invaluable asset in helping us successfully brainstorm, create, and realize many different online auctions benefiting our organization. Eric and his team are highly skilled and experienced in helping nonprofits, like ourselves, increase awareness and bring in more donations through an online auction platform. Whether it is protecting our auction page from potential hackers, screening through thousands of potential bidders, or working on our behalf to secure us eBay homepage placement on a high-profile auction, Auction Cause is with us every step of the way.”
— Audrey Allen, Online Marketing Manager, Starlight Children’s Foundation
“I was thrilled by the way they conceptualized the publicity and took on the creative design and organizational responsibilities. Our auctions start next week. We would never have been anywhere near this far by now without Auction Cause.”
— David Greene, First Amendment Project, from “Fundraising on eBay” by Greg Holden & Jill Finlayson
“Working with Eric on the Deal or No Deal/Massey Ferguson/Susan G Komen tractor auction for charity was a complete pleasure. Never before have I worked with someone so organized, well-informed and savvy to making a charitable event such a success. Eric’s team developed the auction site and he worked directly with my contacts at Deal or No Deal and Susan G. Komen on my behalf in a professional and timely manner. Without his assistance, and Auction Cause, this event would not have raised nearly as much money for breast cancer research. I highly recommend Eric, not only for his professionalism and business acumen but also for his personable nature – I consider him not only a business partner, but also a friend. Anyone considering working with him will be a better person for it in the end.”
