8 tactics for audience development
Excerpt from a recent presentation on audience development in regional performing arts centres. Sometimes it's helpful to break down the concept of audience development into micro-tactics.
College of DuPage Fundraising Tips for Student Clubs
The document provides fundraising tips for student clubs and organizations, outlining traditional fundraising methods like bake sales and vendor sales as well as more advanced strategies like personal appeals, special events, and online crowdfunding platforms. Advice includes assessing fundraising needs, establishing goals, identifying prospective donors, crafting compelling stories, recognizing donor contributions, and closing the feedback loop after projects are completed. Common challenges and myths associated with fundraising are also addressed.
Truro Presentation 100210
This document summarizes a study into donor motivation for arts organizations. Some key findings include:
- 90% of donations come from low to mid-level donors. Having committed audience members who are also donors, volunteers or members increases their likelihood of donating.
- The top motivations for individuals to donate include artistic/cultural appreciation, philanthropic support, social/networking reasons, and personal/experiential connections to the organization.
- Effective mechanisms for fundraising include making it easy for people to donate in various ways, directly asking donors to support specific projects or needs, and forming multiple relationships with audiences over time.
The slab presentation
The document discusses low-cost marketing ideas for a new business with little budget, including guerrilla marketing tactics like eating contests, sponsoring halftime events, promoting local artists, and happy hours. Specific strategies suggested are an eating challenge of finishing two pizzas in 30 minutes for a free pizza prize, advertising at local university games, hosting artists to attract crowds and promote both the business and artists, and offering discounted drinks during happy hours to increase sales and attract new customers during slow periods. The document emphasizes testing different low-budget ideas and focusing on strategies that prove effective.
Would you like season tickets with that? The Art of the Upgrade
For cultural institutions, the box office is not just the place where ticket orders are passively taken. It plays an active role in growing revenue by developing loyalty. Every time a patron logs in, calls, or visits to buy a ticket, the opportunity exists for them to upgrade and deepen their relationship with the organization. With the right training, the box office can become experts on how to cultivate patron relationships and keep audiences coming back for more.

Awesome. Pretty good. Awful. Which Prospects are you Contacting?
Having lent an ear to hundreds of organizations in 20 data network programs over the years, TRG’s Will Lester has heard some great stories about contacting prospects to build new audiences. There’s the one about the helicopter drop (massive mailings), and the MacGyver maneuver (source coding), and a personal favorite that’s the title of this webinar (data-informed contacts). Some of these activities work beautifully, others fail miserably, and all provide a foundational understanding of the state of the art in smart targeting to find new patrons.
In this one-hour session, you’ll hear how those stories can help you develop contact campaigns that get response and great return on your time and money. Take back to your desk inspiration and some great ideas for testing, measuring and getting in touch with the best prospects for your upcoming campaigns. There’ll be plenty of time to ask questions about how to make the most of your database and your budget. You’ll learn:
-Basic tools that can test and measure results as well as diagnose prospect responsiveness.
-How best to maximize the “awesome,” optimize the “pretty good,” and eliminate the "awful" prospects.
-Why and how to apply the 40-40-20 rule to your direct contact campaigns.
Patron-Based Marketing in the Digital Age
Two decades of arts consumer study has led the consulting firm TRG Arts to conclude that 2013 is the year choral organizations must frame their marketing efforts around The Patron. Knowing who buys your tickets and subscribe and contributes, when and how much is the best way to inform how you package, price, and promote your programs. The best part: it’s a matter of focus. Every organization can use the information and skills they have to market better. In this three-hour workshop presented at the 2013 Chorus America conference, Joanne Steller and Amelia Northrup-Simpson shared best marketing practices that are patron-based, time-proven and updated for the digital age. You’ll learn strategic ideas on building lasting loyalty and revenue that can sustain your organization.
Patron Loyalty: A Love Story
President & CEO Jill Robinson presented this intensive session on patron loyalty on May 31, 2014 at the Canadian Arts Marketing, Development & Ticketing Conference in Toronto. Two decades of arts consumer research is clear: patron relationships have the plot lines of a love story. Take, for instance that first contact with a person that has never before walked into your organization’s life. It could be the beginning of long, loyal engagement or a one night stand, depending on how you behave on this first date. In this 90-minute workshop, Jill showed how to build happily-ever-after relationships that can build patron loyalty and revenue. Hear case studies on today’s best loyalty practices and learn techniques that are timely for you to apply in your own organization now.

Diversifying the Portfolio: Creating Holistic Campaigns in a Brave New World
With the rise of Google Analytics, conversion pixels, and referral codes, there are more tools than ever for tracking the results of your organization’s marketing campaigns. Yet even with hard evidence that digital efforts produce results, is it really time to shut the door on established methods such as direct mail, print/display advertising, and grassroots marketing? Can leaning too far in either direction impair one’s ability to capture a “middle ground”?
This session, presented at the 2014 National Arts Marketing Project Conference, examined case studies of campaigns that successfully integrated old and new school marketing and campaign measurement via an integrated, “holistic” approach. The panelists tackled questions such as: how do specific demographics and audiences respond to different types of messaging? What is the value of “eyes-only” impressions vs. conversions that result in hard-and fast (and trackable) revenue?

Dynamic Pricing or Patron Loyalty? Do both in 2013-14
TRG’s latest work has focused on how ticket pricing and inventory management practices impact patron loyalty. The conclusion? Pricing – especially top-end tactics like dynamic pricing – must recognize and reflect the impact of these strategies on the loyalty of subscribers, donors, group and single seat buyers alike. Why? The risk of reduced contributed revenues is too great to ignore.
In this webinar, CEO Rick Lester and President Jill Robinson offer must-know insights about the new tools, processes, and revenue results that come from placing the most loyal patrons in the best seats at the best price.
The Escalator Effect: Making and Keeping Donors
Presented at the Spring 2012 ArtsReach Conference.
Eight out of ten new customers for the arts never come back after the first visit. How’s an organization supposed to raise donors against those odds? Jill Robinson, President of TRG Arts, applies two decades of arts patron behavior research to illustrate how donors grow with good cultivation and customer service by every member of an organization’s team. Get an expert overview on your organization’s best donor prospects, what you have to do to win them, and how you can keep them moving up (not down) the patronage escalator. Presented here are ideas you can implement whether you are a member of the development, marketing or ticket office team.
Dynamic development: 5 success factors
In its arts patron behavior research since1995, the consulting firm TRG Arts has seen what it takes to increase numbers, loyalty, and investments from members and annual fund donors. This session from the 2011 ArtsReach conference in San Francisco, illuminates five dynamics that together make a successful fund- and friend-raising strategy for any organization.

Consortiums: the Power of Technology & Data Collaboration
In a presentation given at the 2012 INTIX Conference in San Antonio by TRG Arts CEO Rick Lester on ticketing and data consortiums among arts organizations.
TRG Webinar: The Loyalty Business Model
While some debate the feasibility of the current arts business model and look to new audiences to fill the gap, the fact remains: only 1 out of 5 new patrons come back a second time. Our problem is not new audiences; it’s keeping the patrons we have--and increasing their loyalty to our organizations.
Loyalty can be achieved when a patrons’ passion for the arts is activated. Strategies that promote loyalty involve common-sense measures to draw in "newbies" and deepen relationships among first- and long-time patrons. Best practices focus on increasing patron satisfaction and, in turn, ongoing revenue. The 5th Avenue Theatre, in collaboration with TRG Arts, is building a wholly new model of audience engagement, centered on this view of patron loyalty.
5th Avenue Theatre’s Vice President of Marketing and Communications Sean Kelly and TRG’s Senior Consultant Laura Willumsen lead this webinar, which focuses on the benefits of viewing patron interactions through the lens of their lifetime loyalty to your organizations. You’ll learn:
● why loyalty is the only sustainable model for revenue growth
● what makes a targeted, purposeful loyalty strategy different from more general audience engagement programs
● about the specific techniques Kelly and Willumsen used to drive retention, as well as increase engagement and revenue at 5th Avenue Theatre
The Patron Lens
This presentation was given at the 2013 NAMP conference.
--The additional slides on generational marketing are NOW POSTED.--
Description:
Any good marketing program begins with good data. Yet arts organizations struggle with the question of how to engage their current and potential patrons. So if you can’t reach everyone, how do you decide who is worth your time and money to reach? How can you understand their habits, wants, needs, and preferences? Overwhelming revenue goals and large data sets are immediately simplified by viewing your marketing messaging from the patron’s perspective, or through “the patron lens.” Address the basics of using data to understand groups within your audience, how you might communicate differently with each segment, and how to focus your time and money in a way that yields the highest return on investment.

Monetizing Audience Engagement, A Love Story
This document discusses strategies for increasing audience engagement and monetizing that engagement. It frames engagement as cultivating a relationship with patrons that builds loyalty and revenue over time. It advocates treating first-time patrons well so they return for a "second date" and continue deepening their involvement. An example case study shows how the Seattle Repertory Theatre dramatically increased retention simply by offering patrons the chance to attend again in the same season. The document outlines a four-chapter "love story" process for moving patrons from first-time attendees to long-term donors and leaders through ongoing communication, upgrades, commitments like subscriptions, and anniversary recognition to create highly engaged and financially supportive "patron families."
Thriving on Loyalty: Love the Ones You’re With!
The document discusses strategies for increasing patron loyalty and revenue at the Guthrie Theater. It analyzes patron data and trends over time, finding that most revenue comes from existing patrons rather than new patrons. The Guthrie Theater has implemented several initiatives focused on existing patrons, such as improved renewal campaigns and acquisition of add-on purchases from current subscribers. Early results include increased renewal rates, subscription add-ons, and subscriber-donor rates. The key recommendation is to "love the ones you're with" by cultivating loyalty among current patrons through targeted campaigns and personalized engagement.
Actionable Audience Data: 5 Metrics to Thrive On
Today's database, ticketing, and CRM systems can tell administrators nearly everything they could possibly want to know about patrons. More data isn't necessarily helpful, though. Studying everything can distract administrators from the metrics on which they need to focus to grow audiences and revenue. In this 90-minute intensive, Anita Hansen, Senior Consultant at TRG Arts, will explain how your organization can stop studying every metric and focus on the most critical indicators of growth and sustainability. You’ll learn how to find the five most actionable Thrive Metrics in your own data, what they say about your organization’s health, and how to act on the data to engage and cultivate patrons. This intensive session was presented by Senior Consultant Anita Hansen at the fall 2014 Arts Reach National Arts Marketing, Development & Ticketing Conference in Los Angeles.
TRG Webinar: Stick With Us: Strategies to Keep Patrons Loyal
What does a loyal patron look like at your organization? A major donor? A long-time subscriber or member? A group organizer? Every department and staff member seems to have an opinion. But assumptions about who these patrons are and what motivates “stickiness”--their commitment to the art form and your organization--can lead you to neglect your most valuable patrons.
TRG President Jill Robinson
In this webinar, TRG President Jill Robinson reprised her popular presentation “Stick with Us!: The Loyalty Business Model” from the June TCG Conference. You’ll learn how some organizations use loyalty analysis to identify the patrons that they should value most (surprise—it’s not just major donors) and devise strategies to keep them loyal. Learn more about the habits of arts patrons and how you can integrate loyalty into your business model.
Pricing: High-Impact Business Strategy or Departmental Tactic?
Is your organization’s pricing strategy focused only on the cost of admission? Developed in just one department? This 90-minute workshop, presented at the Arts Reach Canada Conference in May 2013, was designed to show leadership teams how much more there is to consider and to gain. High-impact pricing generates positive perception, improved patron loyalty, and greater revenue for every admission or seat sold. Jill Robinson, President of TRG Arts, the consulting firm that pioneered dynamic pricing and demand management in the arts, will open the session with a short quiz. You’ll evaluate your organization’s pricing approach. Then, hear how best pricing practices can earn double-digit revenue increases when your management and staff play the right roles. Take home new ideas for effective pricing leadership, decision-making, and staff team participation.
The Art of the Upgrade: A TRG Master Class for Blackbaud
This document discusses strategies for increasing patron loyalty and donations through targeted "upgrades." It defines upgrades as asking patrons to take the next step, such as renewing a membership at a higher level, adding an additional donation, or attending more events. The document outlines how upgrades can be identified through data analysis to recognize patterns. It provides examples of increasing yields from single ticket buyers to renewing subscriber-donors. The key is engaging patrons at multiple touchpoints and across organizational assets. Effective upgrading requires having a plan for every patron type and focusing first on the biggest opportunities to cultivate meaningful relationships and growth.
TRG Webinar: Plant Loyalty Now
Patron relationships matter more in 2013 because the arts landscape is “ more like shifting sand than fertile soil,” said Jill Robinson, President, at the TRG Arts May 7 webinar, Plant Loyalty Now. The higher the portion of patron-centric revenue is, “the more organizations need to focus on, invest in, and partner with patrons to sustain income. The webinar offered strategic tactics around starting campaigns early, building on blockbusters, and patron upgrades at every level engagement.
Monetizing Social Media
The holy grail of social media is the conversion of conversational value into economic gains.
Marketers and advertisers are still “pushing” intrusive messages as the common means of propagating their offerings. Even when the data strongly suggest that these methods are inefficient and not considered “social” the massive spending on old methods continues. The holy grail of the next social paradigm shift will be finding innovation that can monetize interaction for all parties while enabling social engagement.
Has The Innovation Arrived?
Arts & Business Council Presentiation
This document provides guidance and information for board members on fundraising. It discusses identifying prospective donors and qualifying potential gifts. The stages of cultivating donors including educating them and building relationships are covered. Techniques for soliciting asks such as role playing practice sessions are presented. The importance of stewarding donors after their gift is emphasized. Board members are encouraged to set annual fundraising goals and create plans for prospects they will focus on.

The key recommendation is to "love the ones you're with" by cultivating loyalty among current patrons through targeted campaigns and personalized engagement.
Actionable Audience Data: 5 Metrics to Thrive On
Today's database, ticketing, and CRM systems can tell administrators nearly everything they could possibly want to know about patrons. More data isn't necessarily helpful, though. Studying everything can distract administrators from the metrics on which they need to focus to grow audiences and revenue. In this 90-minute intensive, Anita Hansen, Senior Consultant at TRG Arts, will explain how your organization can stop studying every metric and focus on the most critical indicators of growth and sustainability. You’ll learn how to find the five most actionable Thrive Metrics in your own data, what they say about your organization’s health, and how to act on the data to engage and cultivate patrons. This intensive session was presented by Senior Consultant Anita Hansen at the fall 2014 Arts Reach National Arts Marketing, Development & Ticketing Conference in Los Angeles.
TRG Webinar: Stick With Us: Strategies to Keep Patrons Loyal
What does a loyal patron look like at your organization? A major donor? A long-time subscriber or member? A group organizer? Every department and staff member seems to have an opinion. But assumptions about who these patrons are and what motivates “stickiness”--their commitment to the art form and your organization--can lead you to neglect your most valuable patrons.
TRG President Jill Robinson
In this webinar, TRG President Jill Robinson reprised her popular presentation “Stick with Us!: The Loyalty Business Model” from the June TCG Conference. You’ll learn how some organizations use loyalty analysis to identify the patrons that they should value most (surprise—it’s not just major donors) and devise strategies to keep them loyal. Learn more about the habits of arts patrons and how you can integrate loyalty into your business model.
Pricing: High-Impact Business Strategy or Departmental Tactic?
Is your organization’s pricing strategy focused only on the cost of admission? Developed in just one department? This 90-minute workshop, presented at the Arts Reach Canada Conference in May 2013, was designed to show leadership teams how much more there is to consider and to gain. High-impact pricing generates positive perception, improved patron loyalty, and greater revenue for every admission or seat sold. Jill Robinson, President of TRG Arts, the consulting firm that pioneered dynamic pricing and demand management in the arts, will open the session with a short quiz. You’ll evaluate your organization’s pricing approach. Then, hear how best pricing practices can earn double-digit revenue increases when your management and staff play the right roles. Take home new ideas for effective pricing leadership, decision-making, and staff team participation.

The Art of the Upgrade: A TRG Master Class for Blackbaud
This document discusses strategies for increasing patron loyalty and donations through targeted "upgrades." It defines upgrades as asking patrons to take the next step, such as renewing a membership at a higher level, adding an additional donation, or attending more events. The document outlines how upgrades can be identified through data analysis to recognize patterns. It provides examples of increasing yields from single ticket buyers to renewing subscriber-donors. The key is engaging patrons at multiple touchpoints and across organizational assets. Effective upgrading requires having a plan for every patron type and focusing first on the biggest opportunities to cultivate meaningful relationships and growth.
TRG Webinar: Plant Loyalty Now
Patron relationships matter more in 2013 because the arts landscape is “ more like shifting sand than fertile soil,” said Jill Robinson, President, at the TRG Arts May 7 webinar, Plant Loyalty Now. The higher the portion of patron-centric revenue is, “the more organizations need to focus on, invest in, and partner with patrons to sustain income. The webinar offered strategic tactics around starting campaigns early, building on blockbusters, and patron upgrades at every level engagement.
Monetizing Social Media
The holy grail of social media is the conversion of conversational value into economic gains.
Marketers and advertisers are still “pushing” intrusive messages as the common means of propagating their offerings. Even when the data strongly suggest that these methods are inefficient and not considered “social” the massive spending on old methods continues. The holy grail of the next social paradigm shift will be finding innovation that can monetize interaction for all parties while enabling social engagement.
Has The Innovation Arrived?

Funding your music project
With the past decade of decentralization in the music industry, there are plenty of opportunities for musicians to find and connect with fans on their own, provide products at varying price points to these fans, and pull off creative marketing campaigns to help existing fans tell your story to their friends.
In many cases, established artists have had years of label support to help create a dedicated fanbase, which these artists can then continue to tap into directly, even if they are no longer affiliated with the label. For developing, unsigned artists, there can certainly be a bit of a "Catch 22" when it comes to funding the activities they need to engage in to find their core fanbase, engage with this fanbase, and ultimately monetize this fanbase. How does a developing artist fund the marketing initiatives necessary to generate a core fanbase, without having a fanbase to tap into?
In this presentation, we'll discuss the various methods that musicians and music business entrepreneurs can use to fund their activities, from traditional opportunities to more cutting-edge options for generating funding.
Evolution of a Patron [Webinar]
The document discusses strategies for developing relationships with patrons from initial ticket purchases to long-term donors. It outlines six stages of a patron's evolution from single ticket buyer to investor and provides suggestions for engaging patrons at each stage, such as collecting data from new buyers, incentivizing returns, encouraging upgrades to subscriptions, and recognizing loyal donors. The key is implementing cross-departmental collaboration and measurement to provide personalized experiences that foster long-term loyalty and sustainable revenue.

It emphasizes creating checklists and timelines, negotiating venue costs, obtaining sponsors and donations, and properly thanking all involved after the event. The overall message is that thorough planning and delegation to a volunteer team are essential to coordinating an impactful fundraiser.
Engage Donors Year Round with Social Data
After investing so heavily in converting someone into a donor in the first place, it’s important to retain their support--yet retention of online donors can be surprisingly low, especially for first-time donors. And with nonprofits (and businesses) sending more email and social messages than ever before, your communications have to spark the interests of your fans and donors and need to be sent when your issues are top of mind.
Improving Donor Retention: How Creative Thank You’s and Cultivating an Attitu...
Simply put: Donor retention is your most important fundraising opportunity.
Most nonprofits are leaking donors like crazy. They acquire; they don’t retain. On average folks lose 7 out of 10 donors after the first gift. Why? If your answer to any of the following is “true”, this webinar will help you: (1) I spend more time and resources acquiring donors than thanking them; (2) I treat acknowledgement as an afterthought; (3) I don’t think donors care that much about when and how they’re thanked after they give.
While donors want to change the world with their gifts, most want something else too. It’s intangible, but it’s important. And if you won’t give it to them, someone else will. The important social acknowledgement and identity reinforcement that comes from a heartfelt, thoughtful thank you cannot be underestimated. Truly, how and when you thank your donors can make or break your entire fundraising program.
A great thank you program can increase the lifetime value of your donor base by 200%!
It’s not hard to do, but most of us simply don’t put much zip into our donor acknowledgment programs. If this sounds like you and your nonprofit, it’s time to show your awesome donors some awesome you!

Sca brand audit may 2013
The document summarizes survey results from friends and family about their awareness and perceptions of the Stamford Center for the Arts (SCA) and Palace Theatre. Key findings include: over 50% heard of SCA but only 40% knew it operated the Palace Theatre. Perceptions of the Palace Theatre were largely positive, emphasizing its beauty and role in the community. Respondents felt performing arts are important to a local community and many would donate to keep a nonprofit arts center open. Recommendations focus on improving marketing, advertising, and developing more local community events and partnerships.
Party Planner
The document discusses opportunities to improve an online party planning service called Party Delights. Current issues include confusing navigation, a lack of recommendations and filtering options, and inadequate comparisons to competitors. Research identified that customers prefer services from Amazon, Sainsbury's, and Party Supplies for their convenience and ability to browse products physically. The document outlines ideas for Party Delights such as expanding product categories and services, improving cost splitting tools and the product sorting/filtering system, testing a prototype, and adding travel/accommodation features to help customers find venues. Future steps include additional testing and designing eCards, physical invitations, and specialized pages for services.

Loyalty program
This document discusses the key elements of building a successful customer loyalty program, including collecting customer data, developing a value proposition, designing loyalty mechanics like points and badges, setting investment ratios, creating clubs within the program, and developing coalition programs with partner brands. It emphasizes that loyalty programs should be targeted towards specific customer segments, provide rewards that motivate desired behaviors, and use gamification elements to increase customer engagement.

2017 Key Metrics for Arts Organizations
Originally presented at the 2017 NAMP Conference.
Have arts leaders increased the loyalty of their patrons in recent years? TRG Arts is the longest-standing aggregator of loyalty metrics in the arts industry and has recently refreshed its aggregated Patron Loyalty Index. In this presentation, we’ll describe the ways patrons are behaving in terms of their recency, frequency, monetary investment and growth over time, across transactions in single tickets, membership, subscription and donation.
Artistic Programming by the Numbers: A KC Rep Case Study
One of the biggest challenges for theatre leaders lies in perfecting the balance between commercially popular and artistically ambitious plays. In 2014, Kansas City Repertory Theatre was at a crossroads with programming choices, finding it difficult to grow new audiences and cultivate their current loyal supporters. The artistic and executive director decided to do something quite radical: quantify the impact of programming on audience development. Some of the questions they asked were: Which genres grow new audiences? Which deepen current loyalty? Which plays encourage and discourage repeat attendance? Does venue impact audience behavior? How are factors like per-ticket spend impacted?
Learn what the data said about different artistic genres and the types of audiences it attracted, how KC Rep used the data as inspiration for their new Creative Future Fund, and the results they’ve seen in the following three years in audience and revenue numbers. This presentation was made at the 2017 Theatre Communications Group Conference.

2016 Touring UK
TRG's David Brownlee presented new data on touring productions at the 2017 UK Theatre Touring Symposium. David's research (based on 2016 data) illuminates trends in ticket income from touring and non-touring productions over several years.
One major takeaway of the study was that touring accounts for the majority of tickets sold and income at UK Theatre venues, driven by musicals at big venues.
My audiences, your audiences
1) There was 13% growth in theatre-going households in DC over the past decade, with increases in new households, returning households, and attriting households.
2) Younger demographic clusters like singles and families saw the fastest growth at 32% and 22%, while older boomer clusters grew 14%.
3) Most patrons (82%) are "Single Ticket Experimenters" who visit only one theatre occasionally, though visiting multiple theatres correlates with more loyal behavior.
Christmas in July: Turn up the heat on the holidays
Forget about Independence Day. Start thinking about Black Friday.
If not, you could be missing out on your biggest opportunity of next season.
The holiday season starts NOW for arts managers. Don’t let the heat of summer lull you into thinking holiday shows sell themselves—there’s a lot to do. It’s time to dust off and refresh your marketing plan for The Nutcracker, A Christmas Carol, your holiday concert, or whatever hot ticket event you have this December.
In this free one-hour webinar you’ll hear from arts marketers like you who have maximized their holiday programming and gone on to break revenue records. Just when these arts administrators thought their perennial programming couldn’t garner any more, new highs were reached. These experts as well as the consultants from TRG will share the newest best practices for turning up the heat on the holidays.
You’ll learn:
- What, when, and how often: how to optimize campaign timing and frequency, and content strategies for an event that’s repeated annually
- Why a good marketing campaign is nothing without a pricing strategy that allows revenue goals to be met--or exceeded. We’ll explore how the two work together for high-demand programming.
- The importance of realistic budgeting and revenue projections as well as the basics of matching revenue expectations to historical data

Patron Development: Preparing a path from first ticket to planned gift
A patron’s loyalty is built step-by-step with each interaction with your organization. TRG is a data-driven consulting firm that teaches arts and cultural professionals a patron-based approach to sustainable revenue and discussed patron segmentation strategies and proven practices for closing the gap between subscribers and donors.
TRG Webinar: All in: Developing patron loyalty across departments
It’s easy to think of audience development or patron loyalty cultivation as a job for the marketing department. The fact is, all the departments in an organization must align around patrons in order to make a patron-centered business model work.
All in: Building patron loyalty through teamwork
Think audience development is marketing’s job? Think again. All departments play a critical role in retaining and cultivating patron relationships. In order to make a patron-centered business model work, all departments—including ticketing and patron services, artistic staff, development, and executive leaders—must align their objectives with that of patron loyalty.
In this session, presented at the 2016 Chamber Music America conference in New York City, both executives and staff members will reexamine how they lead and collaborate on initiatives that create lasting patron relationships. TRG's VP of Client Development Lindsay Anderson looked at how cross-departmental campaigns build loyalty, how a sales orientation in the patron services department can bolster marketing-development collaboration, and how artistic programming can also factor into loyalty-building.
Seat o-nomics: demand-based pricing strategies for chamber music organizations
What motivates someone to attend a concert? And, more, importantly, what drives them to attend again and again? Arts managers (and patrons themselves) often cite price as the main and biggest incentive for arts attendance. Certainly price plays a major role in a customer’s decision-making process.
But pricing doesn’t mean anything unless it’s attached to value. It’s a two-sided equation, with price on one side and demand—how much a patron wants the experience—on the other.
Luckily, you have tools that can sweeten the value proposition for your audiences. Ticketing inventory, historical data, discounting, and the choice and timing of programming can help you incentivize audiences to engage with you again and again.
This session was presented at the 2016 Chamber Music America Conference in New York City. TRG's VP of Client Development Lindsay Anderson discussed:
- Strategies to attract audiences to low, middle, and high-demand concerts
- How to incentivize loyalty based on demand for programming
- When and how to approach discounting and dynamic pricing
Developing audiences through data (Desarrollar audiencias a partir de los datos)
As public subsidies for the arts change, organizations must rely on people—their audiences and patrons—to provide the revenue to sustain them long-term. How can organizations build a new business model that both serves audiences and relies on them for revenue? The first step is to see what the data says about building these patron relationships.
In this keynote, presented at the 2015 Conferencia de Marketing de las Artes in Madrid and Barcelona, Jill Robinson of the arts consulting firm TRG Arts offered data-inspired lessons on how organizations can monetize patron relationships. These relationships drive the revenue that allows the entire organization to thrive, instead of merely surviving. Jill also discussed data collection and privacy concerns, and how to create incentives for genuine connection between patrons and organization. You’ll learn how pricing and demand, patron loyalty, database management, and artistic programming each impact patron-generated revenue, and how they can be integrated into an organization-wide culture to drive revenue. When marketers leverage this integrated model, they can make the most of their marketing budget, and start cultivating audiences for a sustainable future. This presentation discussed these specific questions:
1. Why does loyalty matter? How can higher ROI on each patron build sustainable arts organizations?
2. Not all patrons are created equal. How can we right-size our marketing investments in different groups of patrons?
3. Does the type of programming that a patron attends determine future ROI?
Stop surviving and thrive: The patron-centered business model
This session was presented by Keri Mesropov at the Art of Change workshop for the The Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation in November 2015.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
