Hi ILN-MSU group, it was really nice to meet so many of you at yesterday's meeting. I wanted to share a link to the 'cultural exchange program' in SW Michigan (KBS will be added to the exchange in 2018!) http://kzookids.com/five-area-attractions-offer-free-admission-in-may-to-members-southwest-michigan-cultural-membership-exchange/ I think it is a good format worth considering for your campus-based institutions. The leadership for the SW Michigan group are the marketing staff for each of the organizations, this is the fourth year. They have each had increased attendance and membership sales that they attribute to the 'exchange'. They do a shared marketing campaign, a single press release is customized by each site and sent to their media lists, they each market in their newsletter or magazine, a single panel card was designed and is available at all sites (the panel card doubles as a punch card and can be submitted to win memberships) and they each post on social media throughout the month. Each site donates a 4-5 memberships that are given away at the end to people who visited all the sites and returned the punch cards. The monetary savings is a driver for the program and I know that not all campus sites have a fee. But I think for many families they would take the 'spartan challenge' to visit all the cultural sites on campus. Just food for thought! If you want to visit KBS, let me know! we love to have teams come down for 'retreats' and do a tour. Kara Kara Haas Science Education & Outreach Coordinator W.K.
