Let’s be real: most auction items don’t get ignored because they’re boring. They get ignored because the descriptions suck. You can have courtside tickets, a luxury villa in Maui, or a once-in-a-lifetime experience—and still get crickets if your copy reads like a Craigslist listing.

In this episode, Tom Kelly breaks down exactly why your auction descriptions are falling flat—and how AI can help you write emotional, exciting, and high-converting listings in minutes. This is not about adding fluff. It’s about tapping into The Experience, The Emotion, and The Urgency behind every item so your bidders can actually picture themselves there.

Tom walks you through his proven 3-step system—The Auction Copy Engine—to help you go from flat to fantastic:

1. Write with Feeling, Not Facts
2. Create a Template and Batch It Fast
3. Repurpose Descriptions for Social Media and Email

You’ll learn practical ChatGPT prompts you can use today, how to batch an entire auction catalog in under an hour, and why great item copy isn’t just filler—it’s a fundraising asset.

He also shares a real-life example of a nonprofit that rewrote 42 auction items using AI and saw a 43% increase in performance for the emotionally written items—raising over $17,000 in a single auction.

Plus, you’ll get:

• A sneak peek at Tom’s favorite repurposing prompt
• How to turn descriptions into teaser posts and headlines
• A free swipe file if you DM the word “AI”
• A preview of tomorrow’s episode: Fast Funnels—The 3-Page Website That Converts Donors While You Sleep

If you want more bids, higher engagement, and less stress—this is your episode. Whether you're running an auction on CharityAuctionsToday or another platform, the right words can mean the difference between “unsold” and “sold out.”
