Hello GEM,
I’m looking for some anecdotal experiences of venues who’ve opening up a paid property for free for an open day. I’m considering doing this for a family open day next summer as part of a wider engagement project.
It would be great to know:
· Why you did it
· If this was cost neutral (did secondary spend in the shop/café make up for loss of income)
· Roughly how much footfall you had compared to normal.
Thanks in advance,
Sarah
Many thanks,
