Audience development and marketing messages, a lesson from Twitter

Posted On October 27, 2010 By Shoshana

Let’s…

Audience development and pricing

Posted On October 6, 2010 By Shoshana

I have been seeing a great deal of discussion on pricing in terms of outreaching to build an audience.  Dynamic pricing has been discussed (think airline pricing with prices being lower with earlier purchase).  Also, Groupons or Living Social, or coupon sales have been discussed.  Both options can build “butts in seats,” but do they…

Posted On September 30, 2010 By Shoshana

I have not posted about the 4th C of audience development in a while which is Care.  In order to build a happy and loyal audience, we need to show that we care about our audience members.  I would like to share a personal story that can relate. My family was one of the families…

Audience development and social media – a matter of quality not quantity

Posted On September 3, 2010 By Shoshana

This will be a quick one.  I have been noticing  more lately the “click like to help us get to 100 fans” or “4 more until 300 Twitter followers.”   In one way, it is good to get the request out there for more people to be interested in your Facebook fan page or Twitter feed,…

Audience development – follow up needed for visual artists

Posted On July 22, 2010 By Shoshana

I am back from vacation and have been waiting for the next topic to come to me.  As I was having dinner with a colleague, the discussion turned to the lack of audience development for visual artists, or rather visual artists are not using audience development.  The conversation continued with my thoughts about how visual…

Posted On July 1, 2010 By Shoshana

Diversifying your audience: Reaching out to new and different groups of people that would enjoy your art and building relationships that would result in them becoming a regular part of your audience.
