Our introduction to Weymouth was less than flattering. People judge the book by the cover. Look at your gateways.
Overall we didn’t see much in the town. Suggestion: The word “gateway” is something you pass through to go somewhere else.
What a charming little community - and one probably overlooked by a lot of visitors. A must-visit town while in the area.
Always promote what it is you sell before the name of the business. We weren’t sure what this place is - or was. Still in business?
Great job. Good sign.
While we don’t know what Myrtle & Rosie’s Shoppe sells,
we assume it’s an ice cream parlour.
Unfortunately, the ugliest storefront is located at the primary gateway. Add some benches and half-barrels. People were sitting on the window ledges.
1. The average museum visit lasts between 20 and 40 minutes.
Museum notes:
2. If you can captivate the visitor for two hours, spending will increase.
3. Museums MUST learn to tell stories, not just display artifacts with facts and figures.
4. No offense, but visitors don’t really care who donated various items.
We would have never found the visitor info center had it not been for these hand made signs. Move the sign down a meter.
Suggestions: Add murals to the building to give it some appeal. Add some native landscaping instead of the lawn area.
Had we not been doing an assessment, we would have never found these other attractions - including the two wineries.
With your wayfinding system, you must put up “reminder signs.” Ten k/m feels like 20 to first-time visitors. We nearly gave up. Twice.
No sure if it’s open. Visitors are uncomfortable going into private homes. What is the specialty here? What are the hours? Just walk in?
We also found the other winery and got a very nice tour of the winery, the process, and grounds. Nicely done. Gracious hosts.
