I'd say that these techniques support audience development, repeat visitation, membership, maybe could even attract new kinds of donors.

Funders like the NSF have encouraged science centers in particular to share their techniques and evaluations, which is fabulous but also leads to rampant and sometimes unthinking imitation. But when I really think about it, all my favorites (so far) have one thing in common.
