TRG Arts' Senior Consultant, Tom Stickland joins host Lucy Costelloe to discuss how to use data and metrics as the foundation for strategies that help build loyal audiences for arts and cultural organisations.

Tom explains the importance of identifying your organisation's definition of success and aligning metrics to long-term goals like patron loyalty and revenue resilience and avoiding short-term targets.

Using TRG's approach, organisations should look at historical data to set realistic growth projections and benchmark against industry data if gaps in your own data make it necessary.

But what data should you focus on? Tom suggests focusing on key metrics like earned revenue percentage, patron activity rates, churn/attrition, data capture rates, and per cap ticket revenue and regularly measuring progress throughout the year rather than just at year-end.

These sorts of regular checks, with small experiments - and being able to embrace failure when some experiments inevitably fail - is how your team can learn to quickly adapt and course correct versus and still hit all your long-term organisational goals.
