Commercial membership

For companies and consultants working with museums
Putting your business first
We are ideally situated within the sector to help companies and consultants supplying products and services connect with the biggest network of museums and museum professionals in the UK.

With a range of media available for companies of all types, sizes and budgets, giving you first-class contacts, networks and platforms with which to promote yourself, no other organisation offers the range of services that we do.

Publications
With our well-respected monthly Museums Journal you get access to a regular readership, who read the Journal for all the latest news, reviews, profiles, jobs and lots more.

From the Museums & Galleries Yearbook you get all the contact details you need to build a database of almost every museum and gallery in the UK (over 3,000 entries). This book makes getting in touch with museums professionals effortless.

The Museum Services Directory offers you entry level advertising with listings as well as profile-raising display advertising. It is the only directory of its kind for the sector and attracts over 600 companies each year. We also publish an online version of the directory, making it easy for museum professionals to find your business at the click of a button.

Web and e-communications
Web and other e-communications are high on our agenda, and we are continually investing in improvements to our website. Our corporate members can take advantage of this platform, reaching out to a far higher number of museum professionals than ever before.

Events and face-to-face
For that invaluable face-to-face experience, many of our corporate members opt for a stand at our annual two-day exhibition; or a table-top at a smaller, more specialist one-day conference – these events boast an unparalleled calibre of delegates who attend the conferences and come as day visitors, and are your opportunity to really make an impact on potential customers.

And if you can’t be there yourself, we have many other promotional options including inserts in delegate bags, sponsorship to suit all budgets, and linked advertising. We are always open to suggestions from members.
