| From
global services to additional services
Codess Cultura’s core business today is the
museum sector which represents nearly half of the
company’s revenue. The services offered vary
from the complete management of museums and exhibition
centres to a wide range of support facilities: the
running of the ticket office and the bookshop, the
24hour guardianship of the museum, the organisation
of guided tours, the development of educational workshops
for adults and children, and the logistic support
for transport and planning.
Museum Management – global
service –
Codess Cultura has
in numerous occasions revealed to be highly qualified
and proficient in the management, organisation and
preparation of important museum centres, as well as
in the support and assistance to external events.
The management of various museums has permitted Codess
Cultura to elaborate interesting cultural strategies,
allowing for full customer satisfaction thanks also
to the highly qualified and efficient personnel.
Organisation
Codess Cultura has been able to organise and plan
its management tasks by studying the different flows
of visitors, promoting therefore the periods of low
season and segmenting the flow of visitors in periods
of high density. Examples of this policy are the compulsory
reservations for school visits, the price incentives
in low season, and the control of the flow of visitors
inside the museums.
Education
Great importance is given to the educational aspect
of the visit, to allow both children and adults to
extend their knowledge and deal with new themes. Codess
Cultura therefore, gives significant weight to staff
training and creation of educational workshops, keeping
in close contact with public educational institutions.
Guided tours
An essential element in the management of a museum
is the presence of experienced and competent staff,
able to welcome and accompany the visitors on thematic
tours around museums and exhibitions. The visitors
are very demanding in terms of quality and competence,
and a well guided tour can turn into a stimulating
and valuable experience. Codess Cultura has elaborated
a project regarding educational tours which has seen
an excellent response among the public. The employees
responsible for the guided tours are carefully selected
based on an adequate level of studies, and after having
followed a training course focusing on the contents
of the visit and the correct etiquette to be respected.
Bookshop
Codess Cultura offers its visitors an additional
service of high quality: the preparation, organisation
and management of specialised museum shops and bookshops.
Codess Cultura also benefits from a collaboration
with Arbos, a company specialised in the production
of paper and cardboard (using primarily recycled materials),
allowing for the creation of personalised product
lines.
Promotion and development
Codess Cultura devotes all of its competences
to the promotion and development of the establishments
for which it is responsible, trying to create possible
combinations with other areas in which it operates.
The results obtained by every single museum have been
satisfying both for Codess Cultura and for the visitors.
