Looking for new ways to attract
visitors to your institution this spring and summer? Participate in
the Alberta Museums
Association's #MeetYourMuseum campaign!
The #MeetYourMuseum
campaign provides AMA members with tools and resources to attract
visitors and key stakeholders to their sites and encourage them to
engage on social media. The campaign is designed to increase
awareness of Alberta museums, boost attendance, and promote joy and
collective celebration of Alberta's culture and heritage. By
participating in this campaign, members will also help develop a
unified voice for the museum community, increase public engagement
with museums, and support each other with their advocacy and
awareness efforts.
The campaign involves:
- Distributing "I met my Museum" buttons to
visitors;
- Encouraging visitors to participate online by sharing selfies
with their buttons and using the hashtags #IMetMyMuseum
and #Staycation;
- Submitting events, exhibits, and images from your museum to the
AMA to be featured on our social media;
- Sharing the AMA's #MeetYourMuseum images on social
media along with your existing promotions; and
- An ad placed in the spring issue of Alberta Views
magazine encouraging Albertans to #MeetYourMuseum.
The AMA has created a toolkit for our members to support their
marketing and awareness efforts and encourage a unified voice
across the province. Click the links to the right to find:
- "I met my Museum" buttons, available free to AMA
Institutional members from the AMA Bookstore;
- #MeetYourMuseum promotional images for members to use
in conjunction with existing promotions and / or across social
media channels;
- Data that focusses on the value of museums to society to use
when engaging external stakeholders or promoting your work;
and
- The submission form to be a Featured Museum promoted on the
AMA's social media.
Be sure to follow the AMA on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter to see our posts from the
campaign!
