We’ve all been there – you’ve got a great production or event, the marketing was skillfully planned, but tickets just aren’t selling. There are many reasons why a certain production or event isn’t selling; outside events that conflict with your dates/times, over-estimating your audience’s interest, sales goals set too high. So, before you start panicking and fire-selling the show or event, there are a few tactics you can put into place.

Forget the cost of training and professional development at your performing arts organization 🔄 — think of the cost of hiring 💼. People always say it’s expensive to train someone new, but think of the costs you incur before your performing or visual arts organization even gets to that point… 💰One job posting on LinkedIn: $500+. This pretty much pays for the conference fee had that person stayed at your organization. Now post this job to a few other job sites, and you’ve broken even on the cost for conference transportation and lodging for that person. Compared to other industries that have cultures of professional development, mentorship, and clearly defined growth tracks, the performing and visual arts are behind 🎭. Being in service to the art means being in service to the people that produce the art. And these people include those who don’t play an instrument and instead raise money, market the art, or educate others about the art. At the end of the day, people execute the mission — on stage and off — so we need to work on getting, keeping, and growing the best people 🌟. If you’re looking for more research and strategies to implement at your performing or visual arts organization, 🔔 follow for more free content. #performingarts #visualarts #executivedirectors #professionaldevelopment #companyculture

Tracking your data is essential to strategic and sustainable growth. When it comes to ticket sales, tracking that data from the beginning will give you a clearer picture of your audience's buying behaviors. Compare that data against data from other similar shows and you can use that information to make informed strategic decisions. The numbers don't lie!

The key to avoiding burnout as an arts marketer is planning ahead. Plain and simple. Giving yourself the systems to function effectively will enable you to handle all those unexpected things that pop up - and in this industry, those unexpected things can feel relentless. The idea of planning 12 months in advance can seem like a daunting task, but the benefits of investing that time and energy are enormous (we're talking about less stress, less turnover, and more time to focus on your art). If you could use help to make this happen, we're always here to help.

Have you adjusted your budgets and marketing plans to account for changes in your audiences behavior this year? In an election year, it's safe to say that your patrons' buying behavior will change. Not to mention that the social media and digital marketing landscape is going to be flooded with election ads and content that will be hard to cut through. Don't forget to take this into account when considering marketing strategy, especially for your fall shows and events.
