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.
