A regional membership recruitment campaign centered around a high-volume tri-fold brochure

Membership Growth Through E-Commerce & Partnership Strategy

Groupon Pequot Museum Membership Drive

Offer

  • $7 for One Adult Admission ($15 value)
  • $30 for a Family Membership ($60 value)

Simple, accessible, and time-sensitive.

Results

  • 215 sold in one day
    • 126 Individual Admissions
    • 89 Family Memberships

A traditional membership drive required two months to reach the same volume.

The Strategy

Instead of waiting for internal systems to evolve, I used an external platform to:

  • Test digital demand quickly
  • Expand audience reach beyond the museum’s base
  • Create urgency through a limited-time offer
  • Validate whether membership could scale through e-commerce

This approach reduced risk while delivering immediate insight.

The Result

  • Sold in one day what traditionally took two months
  • Proved demand for online membership sales
  • Expanded reach to a new audience segment
  • Demonstrated the viability of e-commerce for the organization

What was previously a slow, linear process became a scalable acquisition channel.

What This Demonstrates

  • I identify opportunities others overlook
  • I connect strategy, marketing, and execution
  • I move ideas from concept to real-world validation quickly
  • I bridge gaps between departments to make initiatives happen
  • I use modern platforms to solve traditional growth problems

Note

This project represents an early-stage e-commerce strategy using third-party platforms prior to widespread native adoption within cultural institutions.
