Most of your income inTwo Point Museumcomes from guest donations, so running a successful exhibition means getting people in the door who will be willing to give generously. While it’s possible to have a large museum with a variety of Exhibits on display that can get everyone’s attention, the game is set up in such a way that that’s more of a long-term goal. In the meantime, your best means of getting the most out of yoru existing collection is through the Marketing Room.

How To Run A Marketing Campaign In Two Point Museum
Each Marketing Room in your museum canrun a single 90-day Marketing Campaign at a time. If you have multiple Marketing Rooms, you can have a Campaign going simultaneously in each. This can get expensive, though, both in terms of staffing and the actual cost of the promotion, so be sure your budget can handle it.
Marketing Campaigns must be maintained byan Assistant with one or more levels in the Marketing skill.Rarely, Assistants will have this skill when hired, but in most cases you’ll need to train them for it. The more levels the Assistant has in Marketing, the more effective the Campaign that they oversee will be.
When starting a Marketing Campaign, theoverall cost and effectivenessare determined by whether you choose aBasic, Standard, or Elaborate Campaign.More expensive Marketing Campaigns grant bigger bonuses - see below.
You can also choosewhether to automatically repeat the Campaign once it concludes.If you do, you’ll pay for each new campaign when it starts, and your Marketing Room will keep repeating the same Campaign until you uncheck the box.
Types Of Marketing Campaigns In Two Point Museum
Each time you start a new Marketing Campaign, you can chooseone of three types, sorted with the tabs at the top of the Marketing menu:
Increases overall attendance by 10%
Increases overall attendance by 20%
Increases overall attendance by 30%
Guest Type (Families, Goths, etc).
Increases the chance that each new visitor is the chosen type (max chance 20%)
Increases the chance that each new visitor is the chosen type (max chance 35%)
Increases the chance that each new visitor is the chosen type (max chance 50%)
Whenever a Marketing Room doesn’t have an active Campaign running, they’ll run a Background Campaign, which is effectively identical to a Basic Museum Campaign, for free. That means that paying for one is a waste of $5,000!

Tips For Using Marketing Campaigns In Two Point Museum
Marketing Campaigns should be used toplay to your museum’s strengths, rather than to try and make up for any shortcomings it may have. Since the bonuses are based on percentages and probabilities, you’remost likely to make back the money that you spend on the Campaignif you get lots of donations from the guests that your Marketing team attracted.
In general, it’s best tofocus on Campaigns that will enhance the most Exhibits throughout your museum.Run frequent Campaigns for themain Theme of your Exhibits, only deviating into subcategories and specific pieces if you have a lot of high Buzz totals among them, or if your collection isheavily weighted to a particular subcategory.Even guests without the appropriate subject interest will still be wowed by the Buzz, and inclined to leave donations more often.
Once you have multiple Marketing Rooms operating, you can start looking atGuest Campaignsto boost attendance. That’s where you’ll want to really look at where your museum excels; if you have a lot of Interactive Displays, for example,focus on attracting Families, since the kids will love these Exhibits and be more likely to leave a great review. If you have a lot of Knowledge to offer,market towards Professors, Yetis, and Goths.
Cheesemoongers are very easy to provide a Dream Visit for and get a great review as a result - just serve the Melted Cheese Medley in your Cafeteria and watch your Museum Rating soar!
