We are hoping to use Tessitura at our Gala Event in 2014 to process all of our auction item sales. It is a large event and we charge everyone for the purchases as they leave the theater on the night of the event. I'm trying to find out if other organizations process their auction sales through Tess, if they do this on the Development or Ticketing Side, and what the most effective approaches have been.
Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Hi Steven,
We did this for a few years. We charged people and put the money in a particular “on account” type on the night of. Development then processes the month as a contribution at their leisure in the next few weeks. It has the advantage that our box office reps can do the charging on the night when development is busy running the event, but then everything gets processed as a contribution later.
