PROVEN ADVERTISING & PROMOTION When it comes to auctions Kramer Auctions Ltd. has become a household name for many prairie farmers.

No two auctions are the same. That's why we carefully create a unique marketing plan for every individual auction. Our consistent reputation of Quality Auction Results is a direct result of our proven advertising and promotion campaigns.

YOUR YARD OR OUR FACILITY The first step in the auction process is to have one of our auction managers inspect your line-up of equipment and yard site. When preparing a proposal all location options will be considered including on-site at your location, at our auction facility or a combination of the two.

AUCTION SET-UP & CLEANING For the most part, sellers line-up and prepare their own auctions with the guidance and advice of their auction representative. Although, if required, Kramer's have available a complete auction set-up service. This includes an experienced crew of auction set-up personnel along with a truck, trailer and skid steer. This service is available to help with some or all of your auction set-up. This service is becoming more popular each year. Kramer's can also arrange commercial equipment cleaners to help you wash and clean your equipment. Either way you choose, Kramer's are meticulous with planning your auction set-up. They have all the details covered from site planning, parking, equipment line-up and shop tools and miscellaneous display, etc.

HERE'S WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ...

WAYNE & JEAN VAXVICK & LESTER HART

On April 16 2010, we held our farm auction. We contracted Kramer Auctions Ltd. in North Battleford to facilitate our auction. We were extremely pleased with the efficient, professional and friendly service they provided.

We first contacted them in late November and within a week a team visited our farm, assessed and listed our machinery and auction items. Through out the winter they remained in contact with phone calls and emails, checking on our preparation, gathering pictures and confirming details.

The advertising was comprehensive with internet, posters and newspaper listings in both regional and local papers. We know it was effective by the numerous inquires we had prior to the day and the large crowd that attended on sale day.
A few days before the sale, their set up team arrived on a rainy cool spring morning. They had an organized plan and worked all day in the mud and the rain without a word of complaint. When they left, the job was done and we looked ready for an auction.

The day of the sale they sent a large team of auctioneers, spotters, office staff and yard men. They delivered a well co-ordinated team. We especially felt they went the extra mile to get good value for our equipment. They presented well in clean, identifiable clothing. All staff were polite, friendly and maintained a high degree of professional conduct. Even the washrooms were clean and well maintained. There high level of organization was particularly evident with the smooth process that the internet bids and the proxy bids were incorporated into the regular bidding.

The day went smoothly and the follow up of financing and releasing equipment was prompt and efficient. We were very pleased with our auction, the bottom line even exceeded their initial estimate. We would certainly recommend Kramer Auctions Ltd.

Thanks again for all your help with our auction.

BLAIN & FARNON KEELER of Nokomis, SK. Blain and Farnon chose Kramer Auctions Ltd. for several reasons. They saw that the Kramer family had the utmost and intense focus on their job. They are impressed with this family who brings personal attention, openness, honesty, availability to inquiries and knowledge of the technical world of the internet and advertising. The Keelers have been to several Kramer Auctions and saw the full dedication of attention to the auction process with the planning and organization Kramers put into all auctions. "It is as if Kramers are selling their own equipment, they get the best price they can." Most of all this young dynamic 3rd generation family business with 60 years of experience in the background truly does offer a high level of personalized service that cannot be duplicated.

ARNOLD & PAT ANDERSON of Shellbrook, SK. They were confident that with Kramer’s help from start to finish, attention to detail and scheduling and sale set up experience, the day would go well.

They strongly recommend Kramers to anyone considering an auction. A great experience that doesn’t cost, it pays when hiring Kramers.
