I'd say keep FREE ENTRY on your literature to attract more people, then when they arrive make sure they are greeted by a really obvious (and aesthetically pleasing) donations box that explains why you need support and how much you suggest is a fair amount. I'd also make sure that the 'extras' such as cafe, shop etc are good value, because it's those things (as well as the cost of travel) that can make a 'free' day out really expensive! *Pete Brown* *Museum and gallery access, learning & interpretation* +44 (0)7811 693870 skype: petebrbrown58 petebrbrown.co.uk On 9 December 2016 at 15:38, Clifton Suspension Bridge Visitor Centre < [log in to unmask]> wrote: > Hello GEMmers – > > > > Here’s a Friday question that I’m sure Essex will have some useful > suggestions for! > > > > We are a free entry venue but we would like to raise awareness that we > rely on donations for support.
