Hi and Happy New Year! 

 

I am wondering if any of you have some good tips and creative ideas for
recruiting MoMs host sites. We will be bringing Journey Stories to Maryland
in 2012. For past MoMs tours we've done emails and sent snail mail  to
museums, libraries, cultural orgs on our database and used our museum
association's mailing list and I have spoken at the annual regional museum
conference, we've never had an overwhelming response to a request for
applications. 

 

Does anyone have the secret to successful recruiting?  Catchy appeals or
promotions?  Has anyone directly recruited specific host sites and, if so,
has this been successful?

 

Thanks for your help.

 

Jean
