WinCounter for Museums, Art Galleries etc.
It is important to know how many people visit your exhibitions.
By mounting sensors or switches at appropriate places in your
museum or gallery you can keep track of the days and times your
visitors arrived and left.
Counting People
Using WinCounter as a people counter at the entrance to your museum
or gallery
can give you a valuable insight into the times and volumes of people
arriving and leaving.
This information provides important data which can be used to
determine how effective your facility is at attracting
people.
The performance of a museum or gallery is generally not
measured by recording sales but is linked to the number of visitors.
In many cases there is no charge for entry and there is no easy way
to measure how busy you are. WinCounter can give you an accurate
record of people entering and leaving your facility which is the
best indication of usage.
In some cases funding for a facility is allocated based on
usage. If this applies, then it is very important that you
have a people counter to give you accurate numbers of
visitors.
Staff Rosters
Because WinCounter stores visitor numbers as well as the times of
day they visited, you can use the data to determine the weekdays and
times you are busy. This information can be used to adjust your
staff rosters so you have the appropriate staff to service your
visitors at any time.
Portable Sensors
You can use portable sensors or wireless sensors to count visitors to special
exhibits. Careful placement of an appropriate sensor can give
accurate results of foot traffic past your exhibit. If you only want
to see relative counts at different times of the day then a lower
priced sensor would be sufficient. If you want a more accurate count
then a carefully placed beam sensor or a turnstile arrangement with
a switch or beam would be more appropriate.
Keychain Remote
Switches
For one off ad-hoc counting you may consider issuing staff with hand
held wireless keychain switches that they can use to keep a tally of
up to three different events. These switches are popular for use
when there is a person stationed at an entry to an exhibit.
