There are many sites where you can go to for traveling exhibits. Some more
expensive than others. And some companies have very strict lending contract
s. We actually have two traveling exhibits that are available for loan. One
called Dolls of the World which showcases over 150 dolls from around the w
orld and a soon to be developed Boy Scouts exhibit. Feel free to send me an
email and we can get you more info.

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. Re
gular $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. :)

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