Patron Development for Arts and Culture

To Arts and Culture Leaders,

Do you have a clear, fact-based strategy for attracting, retaining, and developing new audiences? Is it working?

Your core audience accounts for the majority of your earned and contributed revenue. Each season, this core group is getting smaller. They’re attending less often and they’re cutting back on donations.

Your most critical strategic challenge is to develop new audiences and to win the support of a new generation of donors. And you’re looking for ideas.

Understanding your patrons

You collect a tremendous amount of data from your patrons in your box office and fundraising systems. You collect even more from satisfaction and participation surveys. Don’t forget e-mail and the traffic to your website.

This data contains invaluable insights into patron behavior and preferences — insights to help develop effective, fact-based programs for new patron acquisition, retention, and development. But, like most of your peers, you lack the time and expertise needed for this important task.

What moves your audience?

What if you could truly listen to what your patrons are telling you? What if you could distinguish between the different segments that you serve? What if you could personalize your communications to each segment — even to each individual — to maximize response?

Imagine you could identify the characteristics of your most valuable segments and use this knowledge to target and develop new audiences. And imagine you had the technological horsepower to reach and move these new audiences in their medium of choice: online, social, or mobile.
