The Weekly 3

*READ THIS FIRST SENTENCE*

Please scroll to the bottom of the email to see the three featured automotive museums and where they are.

If you don’t care or don’t have time to do anything other than just glance at the three automotive museums at the bottom of the email to see if you are interested in them or not, that is okay. You can skip all of this.

The fact that you are even opening this email is impressive to me. 

Did you know that the average open rate for emails is only 20-30%? Social media is even worse. The average organic reach is less than 10%, depending on the platform.

I suppose I am lucky since at least 50% open this email every week. Most people don’t realize how hard it is to reach your core audience.

Whenever I am at Miles Through Time Automotive Museum, and I am talking to visitors from out of town, I tell them about automotivemuseumguide.com. I assume that if they are enjoying one automotive museum, then they’d like to visit others.

Last Saturday I was mentioning the guide to visitors and one of them already knew about it. This seems to be happening more and more. People are discovering automotive museums all over the country easily with the Automotive Museum Guide, which also helps them plan their trips.

There is also no shortage of people I meet who tell me they get these emails. I say tell, because some read them and others don’t. I get it, most of us are busy and bombarded with spam emails. 

You won’t hurt my feelings if you don’t read all of this, but I do hope you take the time to scroll to the bottom and check out the 3 featured automotive museums. Click on each one to learn more about the specific museum, and hopefully it’ll become some place you’ll visit in the future.

Sometimes we don’t have another opportunity. The Soviet Car Museum put up a valiant effort to provide a unique experience for visitors, but sadly, the museum has been permanently closed.

Sergerstrom Shelby has had better luck. This museum and event space opened at the end of 2021 and is still going strong with close to 100 vehicles in their collection. As you can imagine by the name, they have a few Shelbys.

3 Dog Garage opened their doors in 2022 in a 3-story, early 20th century brick building.  The building looks amazing and when you add over 100 vehicles in the 75,000-square-foot space, it solidifies the urge to want to visit.

The last museum I want to share is a unique one and an important one. The Malcolm Pray Achievement Center has over 100 years of automotive history on display, but also really emphasizes the discovery of entrepreneurship and success with free guided tours designed to insure the youth.

All automotive museums should be doing that on some level, but for the Malcolm Pray Achievement Center, it is the core of their existence thanks to Malcolm Pray, who sadly passed away in 2013, but his legacy continues on over a decade later.

That’s it for this week. If you want even more automotive museum info, you can join the Automotive Museum Guide Facebook Group HERE. If you want to follow more of my adventures with automotive museums, including Miles Through Time Automotive Museum, my social media links are always at the very bottom of every email.

Until next week.

Have a great week!
