For my Monday Moment, I wanted to remind all of you that using Twitter is not all about “me, me, me.” I have seen various artists and arts organizations posting a stream of marketing messages to like them on Facebook, or check out our YouTube or repeated tweets about their upcoming show. Twitter is meant…
This week I was truly a happy audience development geek when I found Capterra’s ticket software filter. If you are looking for a ticketing solution, this filter is the best for discovering what you can get for your budget.

It is Wednesday, when I normally have a guest blog post for you, but I had something to say that just couldn’t wait. I am working with a theatre company that is using one or more of the discount sites in order to attempt to fill the seats. I have written a blog post about…

I have been working on a blog for my friends at #2amt. If you are not familiar with 2amt, they are a group of enthusiastic theatre associates that enjoy sharing information and ideas. I encourage you to take a look at what they have to offer. The blog is about branding for the arts, and…

Let’s pretend it is Welcome Wednesday just for this moment. Due to my workload, I was not able to post my guest blog that was scheduled.
