Subscription Campaigns
Arts professionals have been proclaiming the death of the subscription audience since the subscription audience was born.

News flash -- it ain't so!    The impulse to be a member of an arts enterprise is as strong as ever... maybe even stronger due to current demographic circumstances.   But many smaller theaters simply aren't getting their share of the subscription audience.  They may be using outdated sales techniques, or haven't developed an attention getting message.  Or they may simply think they can't afford an effective subscription campaign.

SMART can help!  A veteran of more than 25 highly successful subscription campaigns, SMART Principal Patricia Nicholson can work with you to grow your subscription audience and increase your earned income while keeping your cost-to-gross ratio low!
 

Single Ticket Campaigns
Your single ticket audience is the backbone of your enterprise...it's your primary source for new subscribers, and a patron's first step in becoming a true believer in your work.  SMART can help you maximize your single ticket audience and turn one-time buyers into believers.
