Income generation using Darwin
You can generate £1000s for your museum or gallery by using Darwin for your mobile tours.
You will have complete control over the content and interaction – no need to wait for third parties to implement updates or to charge you for new content and additional tours.
Darwin’s mobile licence is a fixed monthly cost, regardless of how many tours you sell. So the more you sell, the higher your profits!
Fixed costs, bigger profits
After your hardware costs and monthly Darwin licence there are no other expenses. The Darwin licence is a flat rate and not based on rentals – so the more often you rent your devices the more income you will make.
Keep control of your tours
Using Darwin you have complete control over your tours and can update and improve them whenever you want.
Flexible and scalable
Using Darwin’s mobile licence you can have as many tours as you wish. Want to test a new tour on 10 devices? It’s easy to develop-as-you-go with Darwin.
Connect with visitors
Darwin comes with built-in features to take selfies, create collages – and email them home. With simple but clear messaging, you can ask to keep visitor emails and keep a connection with them after they have left.
