Editor's Notes
- #6 Is it possible to create a platform for engagement? Can such a platform support the diverse business models and unique expressions of engagement at a variety of museums?
- #17 Relationship between activities and badges is awkward right now System slowdowns under heavy load Data storage is both flexible, but perhaps not structured enough Camera scanning of barcodes No direct interface to Raiser’s Edge Coupons are not currently unique to an individual MailChimp integration is desired, but not functioning efficiently Engagement is one-level deep – need more complex paths of engagement more detailed engagement design Need more kiosks
- #31 Summarize issues connected with data-size Talk about tools used and their relative advantages Chartio Tableau Python + pandas, numpy, scipy, etc…
- #32 Front-of-house recruiting successes Motivate visits to the permanent collex Geographic distribution of participation (infer census) Call and response in the data (exhibitions) Repeat Visits
- #36 Another way that we are looking to the data in the coming months is zip code information. You may recall that when Friends sign up, we invite them to share their zip code, which we can connect to census information to learn more about the demographics. We know that we want DMA visitorship to reflect Dallas demographics – WHAT CAN WE DO TO FOCUS ON AN AREA OF THE CITY? This map shows how participation in the DMA Friends program varies relative to zip code population in the Dallas Metro Area. In statistical terms here, zero is the ideal number, with positive numbers demonstrating a relative excess of Friends and negative numbers demonstrating a relative lack of Friends per capita.
