38 Why Reaching Travelers At Welcome Centers And Rest Areas Is Important Travelers Are Not Mind Readers

39 Museum Of The Shenandoah Valley Don t Hide!

40 For Many Museums -- Admissions Are Important Funding comes from a number of sources including grants, gift shop sales, government funding for national artifact conservations, private functions and paid admissions. Welcome Centers and Rest Areas can lift your numbers! Private Functions Gift Shop Revenue Paid Admissions

41 Welcome Center Marketing Helps Increase Admissions How can a Museum s presence at Welcome Centers and Rest Areas increase admissions? Family of four ~ $74 tickets (3 adult/1 child) + Gift Shop sales + Café Sales One additional family admission can add as much as $30 - $100 in gross revenue If a Month-Long Welcome Center Blitz increases Family ticket sales by three a week ( 12 admissions) the Museum is on the plus side

42 The Mariners Museum: A Welcome Center Blitz Partner The Mariners' Museum was established in 1930 by Archer Milton Huntington in Newport News, Virginia. Designated as America s National Maritime Museum by Congress, it is one of the largest maritime museums in North America.

43 Ranked #1 of 29 things to do in Newport News - TripAdvisor. Travelers WANT to visit you! YOU have to let them know where you are!

44 Museum Of The Shenandoah Valley Promote your events! Local travelers stop here too!

45 Planning and Implementing a Welcome Center Blitz Think of a Welcome Center Blitz as a Special Exhibit Plan your work and work your plan Key Steps: 1.) Book your Blitz month(s) at the Welcome Center(s) 2.) Confirm with Tourism/ HI Media resources available at the Welcome Center Tables Easels Vitrines Digital Screens Brochure pockets 3.) Create a Planogram for set-up Visuals Items on Display 4.) Schedule Staff for set-up

46 Planning and Implementing a Welcome Center Blitz Dominate the viewscape! A huge plus of your Blitz is your message CAN be the dominant image every traveler entering the Welcome Center sees. YOU have to seize the opportunity.

47 Put Your Blitz Front-And-Center Dominate The Viewscape Here s what travelers saw when they entered the Bristol Welcome Center in January and February, 2015

48 FREE! It Gets Attention. Have A Give-A-Way. Your give-a-way does not have to be expensive or even cost you money! Pine cones oyster shells (in August!) and similar items have been used successfully.

49 FREE! It Gets Attention. Have A Give-A-Way. Confederate currency printed on parchment paper with an office printer was used by The Museum of the Confederacy and its Blitz partners. The back of the re-print had come-see-us information

50 Biggest Challenge? Integrating Welcome Center Blitzes into normal routines. Raise your hand if you have excess staff Creating the Planogram and assembling materials requires time and attention Set-up and Strike requires out-of-office time NOTE: new in 2015 is a set-up and strike resource via Highway Information Media. This saves you from having to travel to the Welcome Centers for your Blitz set-up and strike.

51 You Don t Have to Go It Alone. Work With Other Tourism Partners. Consider partnering on an Ad Panel in the Welcome Centers

52 You Don t Have to Go It Alone. Work With Other Tourism Partners. Consider co-promoting exhibits The Living Museum and The Mariners Museum in Newport News are 2-miles from each other.

53 You Don t Have to Go It Alone. Work With Other Tourism Partners. Consider co-promoting exhibits Their 2014 Dinosaurs Exhibits gave them the opportunity to reinforce a visit us! message.

54 You Don t Have to Go It Alone. Work With Other Tourism Partners. Museum of the Confederacy Prince Edward County Farmville Sailors Creek State Park Appomattox Lees Retreat Six Partners worked together and sponsored 12 Welcome Center Blitzes in 2013

55 You Don t Have to Go It Alone. Work With Other Tourism Partners. Consider co-promoting Blitzes The Omni Homestead, Massanutten, Virginia State Parks and Virginia Department of Forestry promoted Winter Recreation at six Welcome Centers in January and February 2015

56 You Don t Have to Go It Alone. Work With Other Tourism Partners. Consider co-promoting Blitzes The Omni Homestead and Massanutten with Virginia State Parks and Virginia Department of Forestry promoted Winter Recreation at six Welcome Centers in January and February 2015
