Boost visitor numbers and income with Touring exhibition from the Movie Magic Archive
Our exhibitions boost numbers and income for galleries and museums as well as the broader local economy. The beachside town of Warrnambool received an injection of over a million dollars when people came from far and wide to see, first-hand, a collection of props and costumes from their favourite Science Fiction movies.
If you have a gallery, museum or event in need of a dramatic splash, we have exciting, amazing and educational collections for you to augment and underpin your existing activities.
Benefits of Touring exhibition from the Movie Magic Archive:
- Our exhibits are vibrant, up-to-date and enormously popular; be prepared for a huge increase in entry numbers (primary sales).
- All those visitors lead to an increase in secondary sales, through food outlets, merchandise, other attractions and support learning activities.
- Sales benefits come at reduced costs, as there are no development costs, the planning is super-low on the hassle scale and the price of dry hire is low.
- Marketing budgets are also lower; self-perpetuating exhibition themes attract lots of publicity and press interest at no cost.
- Our exhibitions help you to achieve targets and funding criteria. In the past, venues have exceeded their yearly visitor targets in only a few weeks (see Alien Invasion for details)
- Capture the public’s imagination, and generate and sustain interest in your existing static collections. Happy visitors mean increased customer loyalty – visitor numbers will remain high long after our event.
- Our exhibitions can create an enhanced visitor experience, with opportunities for interactive events, workshops, guest appearances and tested bolt-on event ideas.
- Given the pop-culture nature of the exhibitions, Celebrity Association is a possibility that will draw the attention of the press and the public.
