Instructor: Karl Hoerig

Location: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__museumclasses.org_&d=AwICAw&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=zVLuixl7xggFk4H8VDuDxFeX4dtvvManJ1a7NfCq87M&s=AopnUY0gCxpXnTZGyALvepD0pkK30cUkQM03IA7-7ZQ&e= 

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.
