Hi,
I from the Polk County Historical Society in Balsam Lake,
we are very interested in traveling exhibits can you give me information
to obtain them and if they are expensive?

One of our most successful activities was to have a "NEW" traveling
exhibit come in and get a lot of PR for it. Then we re-trained out
Greeter team to offer a discounted membership "one-time only" to guests
during its run. Regular $30, TODAY ONLY $20! Every single volunteer
greeter secured at least one new member, and we smashed our goal for new
members from this campaign.
Now we are focused on stewardship to keep the retention rate high when
they are asked to renew the next year at the usual dues rate. J

We would like to know how other historical societies seek to expand
their membership.
Has anyone solicited their high school alumni as members? Did you
send letters and
membership forms via U.S. mail or did you use an email format? Any
suggestions or
ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
