Business/Marketing
Click to return to previous page
An intern interested in business & marketing would be involved in the gift shop of the museum as well as related advertising efforts. This presents the opportunity to aid in the active business decisions of the museum, and learn how the retail aspects of the Birthplace interact with its overall mission.
Possible projects include:
- Assisting in inventory & inventory selection
- Researching products that both contribute to the educational aspects of the museum and appeal to the public (books, doll, craft kits, Quaker hats, brooms)
- Marketing of the gift shop, special promotions, themes to connect to the public
- Tie-ins between the shop & advertising efforts as a whole
- Integration of technology in the gift-shop; feasibility of putting some of all of our product inventory online for off-site sales
These lists are a sampling of possible projects; it is our hope to make these internships an active partnership, integrating these plans with the particular skills and interests of our applicants. Interdisciplinary ideas and new avenues of exploration are welcome for consideration.
Intern Application Information:
- Applicants are expected to be self motivated and willing to work creatively within budget and technology restraints.
