Hello
I've had a quick quick look and so here's my tupennyworth based on
that glance.
a) The question is asked below the scroll line so, as most people will
be looking for your opening hours and prices etc, and as your opening
hours are actually quite hard to find, they won't have time to look at
additional functional things. (They will however be looking for fun &
interesting things and make time for those.)
b) Your museum is really very affordable. Visitors to Dartmouth from
outside the locality (i.e. those checking out destinations online)
would tend to be able to afford 50p to £2.00 entry, and wouldn't
necessarily want to enter into negotiations about discount schemes and
the like.
c) It's in small print
d) The question is confusing because you think at first you're being
asked what 'thing from the internet' you should be bringing. So, that
throws up a little doubt and you move on to another activity.
e) Only people who really love the museum (regulars, locals,
volunteers) would want to give the time to answer, even if it really
only takes a moment. If they get to do something fun, e.g. win,
collect, compete, do a quiz, debate a controversy etc etc they're more
likely to give the time.
Hope that helps.
