What do you have visitors enter on their sign in log at your museum. We
talked to a professsional fund raiser who said that capturing "follow-up"
information and then using it to solicit volunteers, donations, was a very
good way to get a list of people who were interested.
Do you ask about interests, suggestions etc. Right now we are mostly using
it to count people through the door.
What works good for a donation container. Our old red-wing crock with a
wood top and slot definitely does not work. Do you have a sign that says
something about donating? A handout at the donation spot?
Thanks Russ Hanson
