  • 1.  Marketing budgets

    Posted 09-10-2021 09:54 AM

    Hello all.  I'm creating a marketing budget template for exhibitions, and I'm gathering examples of marketing budgets for exhibitions, large and small.  If you have some good examples, and a free moment, please send them to me at lauren-lessing@uiowa.edu.

     

    Thanks, and stay safe out there!

    Hi Lauren,

    I do not have budget templates to share, but when you do your budget, assuming your museum has a retail store and maybe a cafe/visitor dining, recommend you be sure there are some marketing dollars/plan(s) included in your budget for these two often overlooked areas. Special Exhibtions usually mean increased attendance and increased attendance from visitors and members should mean more sales (and profit) dollars for the Museum in these areas.

    Hope this is helpful.

    Best regards,
    Art
