I help museums turn their store from an afterthought to a high-earning final exhibit that funds their mission.

Did You Know?

According to data from the Museum Store Association, museum stores contribute 5%-25% of their museum’s annual revenue.

3 Operational Challenges

You spend years perfecting a world-class exhibition, only for visitors to exit into a shop of generic, off-the-shelf trinkets your brand and board don’t recognize.

Missed Mission Alignment

Underperforming Retail

Your store sits on prime real estate, but dusty inventory and weak to non-existent margins mean it is just an expensive, headache of an amenity.

You’re experts in curating and educating, not managing retail supply chains. You know the store needs an overhaul, but your team lacks the bandwidth, data, and retail playbook to fix it.

Where To Even Start?

What if your museum store was as inspiring as your exhibits?

At Melody Caban Consulting, we help museums like yours connect profit with purpose.

We shift the perception of your museum store from an afterthought to its rightful role as the "final exhibit" — your last and most critical touchpoint for visitor impact.
