Art museum gifts help museums stand out and get exhibits noticed and remembered. In serving art galleries, museums, and resorts I have observed 7 attributes of successful buyers of custom gifts. I created a guide based on how these buyers create such a great art experience. Click here for a free eBook full of great ideas for art galleries and museums. Successful merchandisers of custom gifts for art galleries and museums;
1. Art Museum Gifts Show The Personality of Your Gallery
The gift store reflects the personality of the art gallery, museum, hotel, or resort. The Hotel Monteleone in New Orleans owns the art of the Creole Lady. This art hangs in the Criollo restaurant and you can also find her in the gift shop. She just helps the Hotel Monteleone show the personality of New Orleans!
2. Art Museum Gifts Tell A Story
The best custom gifts for art galleries, museums, and hotels tell a story. When I see the art of Maxfield Parrish at The Broadmoor I think of how he must have seen this majestic hotel in the early days of settling Colorado. This painting captures the beauty of not only the hotel but of the mountains. These custom gifts for The Broadmoor Hotel help tell the story of the mountains and this beautiful historic hotel.
3. Art Museum Gifts Designed by Merchandise Managers Are Successful
I love when buyers contribute ideas and special requests. Merchandise managers know their clients and know what they like. Cuff links are a popular custom gift. Classic Legacy cuff links are available in round, square, and oval shapes.
4. Art Museum Gifts Can Be Elegant or Simply Fun
Who doesn’t like elegance and fun? Consider art that brings about emotion. I visited the 21C Museum Hotel in Bentonville. It is such a unique blend of a hotel and a museum. The experience was definitely both fun and elegant!
5. Art Museum Gifts Should Be Unique
Successful marketers in museums, art galleries, and hotels use their art to create unique gifts. Not everyone can afford original art. Unique gifts featuring art from galleries is a perfect solution!
6. Art Museum Should be Used
Gifts that are used are gifts that are seen! …..simple but true. Classic Legacy wine bottle stoppers and marble coasters are definitely gifts that are seen and used.
7. Ask for Samples of Art Museum Gifts
When you create custom gifts for your art gallery, museum, retail store, or hotel ask for samples. Classic Legacy provides a complete digital presentation so you can see how your art will look on Classic Legacy gifts. I am also glad to send samples of work we have done for others so that you can see the quality of Classic Legacy gifts. Here is just part of a presentation we recently did for MS Rau Antiques in New Orleans.
