It’s not clear to me what your season / whole season means, but I think I can still offer a suggestion for your question.

 

If not a discounted rate, here are other ideas: one free chaperone, something cheap from your gift shop (candy stick, pencil, postcard), teacher being entered in a prize drawing.

 

Good luck!

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Incentives to book early

 

Hi all,

 

We are starting to book our school groups for the spring.  One issue we have is schools calling last minute to book a trip (i.e. can we come next week?).  To try to avoid this, we are offering some incentives.  For instance, we are offering a discount if you book for the last two weeks of April. 

 

One thing we are trying to determine is if you book by March 15th (for May/June), what can we do as an incentive or perk?  We can’t discount our whole season, but we don’t want an surge of reservations the day before we open for the season.  If anybody has any ideas, I would appreciate it. 

 

Thanks!
