The changes and challenges for museum retail because of Covid-19 have been hard, especially for the smaller museums. However, with more people wanting to support, stay and buy local, museums are in a unique position to maximise on this and create a resilient income stream through their shops. In this session Polly (from the Association for Cultural Enterprises) will talk about;
- Quick wins for making small inexpensive changes with maximum impact.
- The basic numbers
- Product, suppliers, and product development
- Online options and marketing
- Plenty of time for questions
This course will highlight best practice in using on-site facilities for earned income from retail, with practical tips for launching these offers.
This training is suitable for those in a position to implement an onsite retail offer – such as Trustees, managers, and volunteer coordinators. No previous experience of retail is needed.
