A plain listing makes your item look ordinary.
A premium hunt or guided trip squeezed into a few lines loses its appeal. Bidders scroll past, or bid low, because nothing shows them what makes it worth chasing.
Built for outfitters, guides, lodges, and vendors
Everything you need to promote your auction item. Built in 5 minutes.
Whether you donate it outright or take a share of the sale, your item performs better when it is promoted right. Vendor Lodge builds the graphics, social posts, emails, and auction copy that reach more bidders and drive a stronger final bid.
The problem
Your item is only as strong as the way it is presented.
Most donated items reach the auction with nothing but a short description and a photo or two. When that is all bidders see, even a great hunt or trip looks ordinary and sells for less than it should. When you are on a revenue split, that difference comes out of your own share.
When it undersells, the final bid suffers.
The weaker the item looks, the less competition it draws. Fewer bidders and lower bids mean a smaller final price. If you are on a split, that is a smaller payout landing back with you.
And you miss the exposure.
A donation puts your brand in front of a warm, qualified crowd. Handed off as a bare photo with no promotion, that chance slips away and your name barely gets noticed.
How it works
Three simple steps.
Built for outfitters, not marketers. No marketing experience needed. Just follow the steps.

- Add your hunt or trip photo
- 3 branded graphics per kit
Step 03

What you get
Here's what's inside your download.
Inside the kit
Two kits. Both built from one entry.
Enter your item once. Vendor Lodge builds a Chapter Handoff Kit for the event team and a Vendor Kit for your own audience. Both use the same social-ready branded graphics at the center.
Chapter Handoff Kit: listing copy, graphics, and tagging instructions, packaged and ready to hand to the chapter
Vendor Kit: the same branded graphics plus social post captions and email copy for your own audience
Social-ready branded graphics (1080 × 1350), built once and included in both kits
One ZIP download with both kits organized and ready to use

For the chapter
Everything the chapter needs in one packet.
A complete, packaged kit with branded graphics, a stronger auction listing description, and co-promotion instructions. The chapter opens it and uses it. No extra work on their end.
Example: Start Here PDF, graphics folder, listing description, and tagging notes, all in one download.A stronger description for the item page.
A well-written description helps the chapter present the item properly and helps bidders understand what they are actually bidding on.
Example: 7-day guided Yukon sheep hunt with trophy-class country, premium lodge stay, and limited availability.For your audience
Built once. Goes into both kits.
Pick a frame, add your hunt or trip photo, and the graphic is built in a 1080 × 1350 portrait format sized for Instagram and Facebook posts. It goes into the chapter's kit and into yours.
Example: Your elk photo in a branded frame, PNG, sized for Instagram and Facebook.Reach your followers before the auction.
Social post captions and a short email are ready to send to past clients and followers. Your audience hears about the item directly from you before the auction goes live.
Example: We're donating this hunt next week. Here's the item, why it's worth bidding on, and how to be there.Real outputs from the app

Last chance post Both sides win
The chapter wins. So do you.
Vendor Lodge builds materials for both the chapter and the vendor. When both sides have what they need, the item gets promoted from two directions and performs better because of it.
Give the chapter materials they can actually use.
The Chapter Handoff Kit includes branded graphics, a stronger listing description, and clear instructions on how to tag and credit you. The chapter gets a professional packet, not just a photo and a basic description.
Promote the item to your own followers.
Social post captions and a short email put the item in front of past clients and followers who already know and trust you before the auction even goes live.
Better presentation raises perceived value.
Professional graphics and a stronger listing description help bidders understand what the item is really worth. That usually shows up in the bidding.
More exposure from two directions means stronger bidding.
When the chapter promotes professionally and the vendor reaches their own audience, the item gets more total attention. More attention usually means more competition and a higher raise for the cause.
Your name and contact info are part of the kit.
The Chapter Handoff Kit includes your Instagram handle, Facebook page, and website. When the chapter posts about the item, your business gets recognized properly, not as an afterthought.

FAQ
Quick answers.
Built for vendors, not marketers.
You should be able to fill in the details, build your graphics, and download everything in a few minutes.
Vendor Lodge is intentionally separate from chapter management tools. It exists to help the vendor side make donated items perform better before the auction.
How long does it take to build a kit?
A few minutes. You fill in your item details, hit build, and everything is ready to download. There is nothing to design and nothing to figure out on your own.
What exactly do I receive?
Auction listing copy, social-ready graphics sized for Instagram and Facebook (1080 × 1350), vendor social posts, email copy, and a complete Chapter Handoff Kit are all packaged and ready to download in one ZIP file.
Do I need design or marketing experience?
No. Everything is built and formatted for you automatically. You enter the item details and download the finished files. No tools, no templates to fill in, no guesswork.
What happens after I sign up?
You log in, enter your item details, and generate your kit. Then download everything in one click and use it right away. Post the graphics, send the email, and hand the chapter packet to the event team.
Can I use this for multiple events?
Yes. Each kit is a separate $49 purchase, built specifically for that item and event. Donate often? The optional Social Frames add-on lets you turn photos into polished social graphics all season long for $20 per month. It is a graphics-only tool and does not generate captions or written copy.
What if I need to correct something later?
Your kit includes two text updates for that same donated item and event. Make all your detail corrections first, then update the full kit once. You can replace or reframe photos without using a text update. A different item or event requires a new kit.
Ready when you are
One item in. Everything ready to promote.
Build the chapter handoff and your own promotion kit from the same item details. No design software, no scattered files, and no back-and-forth trying to pull it all together.
