Museum Store Staffing
Hello folks,
We are building back up our store sales from the past two years and would like to know about others' store staffing models. How many staff do you have? Full time or part time? What responsibilities do they hold? What is your annual store revenue and how does that track with how many dedicated store staff you have? Any info you are willing to share will help us on our journey!
Thanks,
Rachel Hamilton

Well, turns out we don't exactly have a poli...

Said: Our signs have a bandage on them and state "This exhibit has a boo-boo." It's cute and every child knows what the bandage, and the word boo-boo, represent.
