| Donation Levels and Promotion | |
| $80 to $499 | Each single item within this value range, or multiple (identical items) grouping totaling $80 or more, receives one 20 second on-air presentation. |
| $500 to $999 | Each single item within this value range receives multiple, same day, video or live 20 second presentations. |
| $1000+ | Each single item at or above this value range receives a 20-30 second customized presentation of the item, featured 3 to 15 times over 2 to 9 days in proportion to the value of the item. |
| Nightly 9 | For nine items or services each valued at $80 or more and identical, receive nine days of 20 second on-air presentations. Each item is presented each day of the Auction. |
| Daily Double | For eighteen donated items or services each valued at $80 or more and identical, receive seven days of 20 second on-air presentations. Each item is promoted twice per day for the nine days of the Auction. |
| What is a multiple? | A multiple is a grouping of identical items that have a total value of over $80, qualifying for on-air promotion. For example, your business donates four dining certificates, each valued at $20. Your business would receive a 20 second presentation and the dining certificates would then be auctioned off and sold to the four highest bidders. |
| Donating a certificate? | Certificates for merchandise, dining, or services sell very well on the Auction. Your display helps sell the certificate. Please include a display with your certificate that will showcase your business to our TV audience. The display should be between the size of a business card and a poster. Some examples of good displays would be a restaurant menu, a hotel brochure, or a business card. |
