Subject: floor staff and increase attendance

I am curious as to whether there are any studies or data that correlate floor staff presence or gallery presentations to increased attendance (more floor staff, more programs = higher visitation).

All this talk of ways to increase attendance but I have not heard anything about how increased staff to visitor interaction can be a shown to affect gate revenue.

If blockbuster exhibits = increased attendance (that's the theory right?? HA!) can the same be said of blockbuster floor experiences?
