MARKETING & DESIGN
HAUNTED MUSEUM - October 2022
Big Horn County Historical Museum, Hardin, MT
Promoting: Posters, Facebook Event page, word of mouth, write-up in local daily booklet, door-to-door campaigns
During: FB live, IG stories & reels, posting photos
Goal: As many people as we could get walking through the Museum
This event was a collaboration with OneHealth Clinic and their annual Haunted Hardin event, which I had worked on the previous year. I approached the event coordinator and pitched her the idea of a haunted museum. Trick-or-treat at the museum, with local businesses sponsoring a museum building by providing decor, volunteer and candy.
Word of mouth and the local daily write-up were the most effective tools in this campaign. Door to door distribution of posters gave opportunities to talk about the event and the businesses involved, as well as sponsorship opportunity calls and visits.
SUCCESSES:
Businesses involved - 17
Feedback: All were excited about the event and very eager to participate again
People through event - around 600
Feedback: Excellent.
The community was excited and supportive while mentioning the businesses involved and their renewed interest in the museum.
