Online Museum Stores
Hello!
We have been toying with the idea of reopening our Online Store. We had moderate success in the past, but struggled with the shipping aspect, and the amount of extra time it took. We don't want to get in to the nitty gritty if we do not think it will be worth the time and effort, but are also looking for new streams of revenue. Does anyone have any experience with a successful online store presence?
All tips, tricks, and know-hows are appreciated!
