Everyone,
 
If you need any information on marketing materials for MoMS exhibitions or help with press information, please do let me know. There are guidelines on marketing and public relations available for you on the MoMS website (www.museumonmainstreet.org). The state coordinator pages have good general information. Specific press release templates are provided on the local coordinator pages for use by your sites. But, if you need something more specific like press images for a press contact or have a question about publications, please send me a message ([log in to unmask]) or give me a call at 202-633-5335.
 
Have a great weekend,
Robbie

I have the same shipping questions.  I also would appreciate some marketing materials, even from this past tour, to use for requesting funds.  I took some materials from the MS site, but I've given out.

Hi Robbie,

I'm not sure if you can help me with this question but I figure it couldn't hurt to ask. I'm meeting with several shipping/ consolidator companies tomorrow, to get an idea of what the shipping expenses might be for the communities in Alaska who have expressed interest in hosting New Harmonies in 2009. I know that there are 19 crates but I'm wondering what are the dimensions (length, width, height) and if there is a rough estimate of the total weight of the exhibition? For many of the rural areas in Alaska the only way to ship freight is marine highway or air cargo... knowing the weight will give us a much clearer idea of what sort of expenses these communities will need to budget for.

Any insight or direction in this area will be greatly appreciated.

With best regards,

Everyone,

 

We all hope that you're having a great new year.

 

With the opening of Journey Stories now on the near horizon, we're starting to think about developing publications for the exhibition. As most of you know, past MoMS exhibitions have included an exhibition poster and a set of postcards for host sites and councils to use for marketing purposes. Host sites place the posters throughout their communities and often use the postcards as an invitation to local programs. With New Harmonies, we added a double-sided color flyer that host sites can run through their own office printers to include local information and distribute in their communities. The flyer appears to have been a useful addition and we're planning to include it in the package of materials for Journey Stories.

 

I would love to get your thoughts on the effectiveness of these publications as your sites promote and marketing the exhibitions. Do you feel that host sites are finding good uses for the poster and postcards? How are they helpful? Are there other marketing publications, efforts, or concepts that you think we should consider?

 

Please send all thoughts my way!

 

Many thanks,

Robbie
