Description
Marketing is an essential topic to arts administrators. An overall understanding is critical even to those who are not directly responsible for marketing, as it impacts on event attendance, institutional memberships, fundraising, retail sales and the overall image and relationship of the institution to its stakeholders and the public. Our course will examine the cyclical process of describing and promoting our “product” and identifying our target market(s). We will learn to shape our message in alignment with the mission of our organization, will explore the various channels by which we can convey our messages, and will learn to listen to market feedback and consider revisions to our message and/or product accordingly. With a broad understanding of these elements, we will examine what goes into a Marketing Plan and related goal setting.
