Online Course Retail Store Management for Small Museums begins September 5, 2016
MS 254: Retail Store Management for Small Museums
September 5 to 30, 2016
Instructor: Karl Hoerig
Location: http://museumclasses.org
Description:
Retail stores play central roles in museum operations. Most museum managers and their boards or tribal councils recognize stores' revenue potential. But stores can also help serve the museum's educational mission, support perpetuation and revitalization of traditional arts, and impact audiences beyond the museum's doors. Utilizing expert perspectives and examples from diverse museum stores this course will explain why a museum store should not be just a "gift shop" and will present guidance on inventory management, buying and pricing, retail display, staff training and other administrative issues faced by museum store managers.
