Another case for audience development for the arts

Posted by Shoshana 
· Friday, March 4th, 2016 

I am all excited today! Yesterday a past client, VOCI (Voices of Canton, Inc.), has informed me that the audience development work we did together, which they completely implemented, has increased their audiences by 71% over a year’s time! Audience development works! I have big hopes that more artists and arts organizations will make the switch to this mentality. Carol Olson, their executive director, wrote me a testimonial that speaks in regard to this mentality. I’d like to share the overall scenario with you:

VOCI Testimonial
I wanted to share this, not to toot my own horn, but to show that there are real increases when you do your audience development work. We need this type of momentum in the arts world, don’t we?

Cheers to happy and loyal audiences,

I don’t often do this, yet I do want to share that I still have openings available this year to help more artists and arts organizations build audiences and support. Through the 3-Step Audience Matchmaker Method, ADS Event Booster, and other services, I know I can help you shift your mentality to the audience development way for success!

Testimonials

Arizona Women’s Theatre Company (AZWTC)

“I loved the sessions and as I was taking them for my newly elected position, I felt I needed some close mentoring and strict goal setting..She absolutely did listen to our needs and tailored her sessions to fit our little situation. I have bragged about the sessions to other admins in our areas. Some of the instructions were familiar as I had followed her ideas for some time. Most are obtainable over time and will be implemented this coming year as we finish our season. My time with Shoshana at ADS, I would rate it First Class!” —Joy Bingham Strimple, Board President
