Increasing revenue in a busy arts organization

In a busy arts organization, there’s not a whole lot to spare. Time’s tight, budgets are tight, and everyone’s focused on their own priorities. It can feel easier to keep doing what you’re doing, than to step back and ask if there’s a better way.

By building a successful, resilient arts organization, you’ll be able to:

• Experiment boldly with your offer to patrons
• Boost revenue across every income stream
• Improve experience for your audiences and team

 

Hands working together to review data and improve audience experience

Capitalize on a great audience experience

Increase revenue across your organization by building great relationships with your patrons, making them more likely to visit again, to spend time in your building, and to donate to your campaigns. 

Increase revenue at every touchpoint with audience development ideas designed to help you:

• Maximize the frequency and value of visits
• Build great experiences for every patron
• Understand customer behaviors online and in-person

Improve revenue, even when you're at capacity

When all or some of your events are selling at capacity, you’re faced with a new challenge - continuing to improve revenue, beyond the ability to sell tickets. All of the upselling and cross-selling tips we’ve explored so far can help you build on your success, but it might be time for a new approach. Invest a little more time or budget, and level up your capacity to build regular income and secondary spend.

Look beyond tickets to increase overall spend, with ideas to:

• Build loyalty through subscriptions and memberships
• Synchronize data across multiple touchpoints
• Increase the value of every visit

Getting buy-in from your organization

By providing the best possible patron experience at every touchpoint you’ll benefit your entire organization, build loyal audiences, and help upskill your teams. But that doesn’t mean it will be easy. With competing priorities in every department, you’ll likely encounter resistance from team members who are already pressed for time, and from senior leadership who are wary of risky new ideas.

Get your whole team involved in revenue generation, in order to:

• Embed good practice and explore new ideas
• Design campaigns collaboratively
• Access budget and resources to deliver more
