Thanks all!  Has been great to read everyone's experiences.  Mine is a
bit less happy...

 

We have been trying to get scheduled to do a promotion for months.  We
were originally contacted last December, and as we were about to roll
out a new membership program (we've never had membership before, only
through our Friends group), thought it would be a great fit.  Originally
planned to do 50% off individual and family memberships, and 2-for-1 on
lecture and film series admission.  Was supposed to run in March.  We
got handed off to a new account rep in February and are still waiting to
get into the rotation.  Have sent several follow-up emails and keep
getting told "they're working on it".  Has been extremely frustrating,
but locally they reach 80,000 so would be a great market for us, if and
when we get scheduled. My main issue right now is their exclusivity
clause, where we can't go to other similar vendors for a certain time
period... ugh!

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Does your institution participate in Groupon

 

Are any of you participating in any of the online coupon offers such as

Groupon or LivingSocial?

 

 

 

We keep getting marketing emails to participate. I am wondering if a

deeply discounted membership offer might work - our events have such

limited ticket availability that I would hate to have to earmark part of

my ticket inventory for the program. 

 

 

Would love to hear about any experiences, the pro's and con's.  Thanks!
