Grow revenue

Enhance the way your museum earns revenue

Cultural leaders are constantly on the lookout for revenue generating ideas for museums. Nimi gives your institution the canvas to create a sustainable, long-term business model by unlocking earned revenue streams from digital collectibles. It’s time to engage a new generation of patrons.

Slide
Curate collectors

Today, cultural institutions around the world attract more digital followers than physical visitors. Convert digital followers into patrons by adding digital collectibles to your museum shop.

Slide
For long-term revenue growth

With NFT-enabled digital collectibles, you’re able to complement short-term, transactional streams of your museum shop with long-term patronage from younger, digital-native audiences.

Picture your collection creating value

Museums do not have the physical space to display their full collections at any time. With Nimi, your permanent collection can thrive beyond the walls of your institution in the digital space and generate new earned revenue. Using NFT technology, you can broaden your collection’s exposure to a global audience and explore future collaborative experiences with contemporary artists.

Protecting works of art, heritage, science and history is key to the development of cultural institutions. By sourcing a new, consistent revenue stream with Nimi, your museum will be meeting the demands of current and future patrons to increase revenue sustainably.

No. With the Nimi partnership, you’ll immediately extend your Development and Marketing teams with experts in the digital collectible space. In a comprehensive onboarding process, we assess every chance for you to maximize potential, from wherever you are in your digital transformation journey.

The digital adoption process is unique to each institution. However, our approach generally falls into three phases. 

This begins with strategy and planning, over approximately 30 days, where our team of experts will speak with involved stakeholders to establish key objectives, target audiences and existing assets. 

Then, we begin to build your digital collection over 30-45 days with complete pre-marketing, launch campaigns and sales execution. Finally, we analyze your post-launch performance for ‘always on’ adjustments that align to your specific KPI goals.

Many museums continue to rely heavily on contributed revenues, such as individual and corporate giving and endowments. NFT-enabled digital collectibles offer the possibility of a different kind of revenue – one that is more consistent and grows steadily over time.

Yes. For many museums, the traditional earned revenue strategy is from venue rentals, food and beverages and the museum shop. But Nimi can help you to cultivate a revenue stream that directly ties to engagement. This means that the more your reach as an institution expands, the greater your revenue opportunity will be.

There is no upfront cost to partner with Nimi. Your implementation fee will be covered by initial sales. In most cases, remuneration will be based on a profit-sharing model.

As a benchmark, we expect institutions to benefit from a 10% increase in earned revenue. However, at the planning and development stage of onboarding, our team will offer personalized metrics, which you can measure against in a real-time dashboard and ongoing reporting from our expert team. This includes details of sales, conversions and memberships, segmented by region and audience, gathered in compliance with GDPR and privacy policies.

Nimi is a diverse team of cultural allies, investment banking experts, fintech developers and consultants. This combination of experience empowers our technology-agnostic approach. We are uniquely committed to helping you address your museum’s toughest challenges; blockchain and digital collectible enabled technology are simply the enabler of new digital models for revenue and engagement.
