“On behalf on the Habitat family, I would like to thank you for the excellent you did at our annual luau and auction. It took us a lot of hard work and effort to acquire the items, who better to auction them off than you. Your humor was perfect, and your talents evidently clear by the success of our action.
We look forward to have you showcase and auction off our products for the next luau. Our organizations opinion is that you are by far the most entertaining and skilled auctioneer we have had helped our family.
May you and your ohana experience all of the cheer that the holiday seasons have to offer. Mele Kalikimaka and a Hauoli Makahiki Hou!”

Aloha,

For the past fifteen years, I have created, produced and managed special fundraising events for nonprofit organizations both in Hawaii and on the Mainland, including producing the First Annual Taste of Honolulu, YWCA Downtown Decadence, YWCA Leader Luncheon, annual meetings, silent and live auctions, jewelry auctions, Challenge4Charity Live Auction, golf tournaments, black-tie dinners, Olympic Weekends and more.

I have hired Joe Teipel a few times and attended many charity fundraisers here in Hawaii featuring a live auction where he was the auctioneer. I was impressed with his professionalism, support team and ability to increase the average bids, number of competing bidders and overall increased net profit. In addition to positively impacting the net profit, and more importantly to me, as the professional fundraiser, participants left the event with an appreciation and enthusiasm for the charity and the event itself, generating long-term goodwill and monetary support from donors.

I was also impressed to learn recently that in addition to being the live auctioneer, he also provides pre-event consulting about auction creation and implementation and provides his clients with a “How To” guide, which includes templates and systems for every aspect of auction special event management.

I recommend hiring Joe Teipel to nonprofits that currently have live auction events as well as those without because he simplifies the event management, lessens stress and anxiety and makes it fun again!”
