Hi,<br>
<br>
Brenda from the Canadian Museum of Flight here. We have a smallish gift shop and a very narrow focus for the items we carry (aviation only) but I'll share what I have ?. I try to keep to the Canadian suppliers and distributors.<br>
<br>
Toys: good quality die cast or wood toys from toddler to teen (and beyond). I watch the kids at events and airshows to see what they are interested in. I also find that items involving STEM or 'making' are very popular with parents and grandparents who don't
want just another toy in the house.<br>
<br>
T-shirts (adult, women, youth, toddler), caps, canvas shoulder bags. Pins, key chains, playing cards.<br>
<br>
We also have a section to sell donations that are not accessed into our collection. We do let the donor know that there is a possibility that their item will be sold and let them decide whether to continue with the donation. It's historical thrifting.<br>
<br>
This year we are hoping to introduce some higher end merchandise into the mix while keeping prices reasonable but profitable - still figuring it out.<br>
<br>
Here are my suppliers that do more than airplane stuff:<br>

<br>
Hello everyone!<br>
<br>
I would like to accumulate a list of items that other non-profit museums (or other GLAM establishments) sell in their gift shop that they find popular. We at the POMO Museum are looking to expand our gift shop items, and as I am conducting some research, I
would like to know what you all notice at your establishments (if you don't mind sharing).<br>
<br>
You can email me back at marketing@pomo.museum, My name is Mattea.<br>
<br>
Thank you everyone!<br>

Want to get better at understanding your visitors - and then *actually use*<br>
those insights to improve your programs and exhibits?<br>
<br>
Evaluation often gets pushed aside - surveys with few responses, feedback<br>
that never gets shared, and missed opportunities to make real change. But<br>
it doesn't have to be that way!<br>
<br>
Foundations of Visitor Studies<br>
<<a href="https://tmvisitorstudies.com/foundations-of-visitor-studies/">https://tmvisitorstudies.com/foundations-of-visitor-studies/</a>> is a<br>
practical, hands-on course that will help you plan and test ideas for<br>
evaluation that are well suited for your organization. Demystify the<br>
process of running simple but useful visitor studies, learn about the wide<br>
range of methods to collect data, and apply this knowledge to your own work.<br>
<br>
