See What We Can Do

~Website Tracking
Install or Evaluate Google Analytics for traffic patterns, customer funnels, and ad efficiency 

~Economic Impact (EI)
Every festival and event should be conducting Economic Impact surveys and reports for EVERY event.  Don't guess.  Count.  Know your attendance numbers: who came, why, where they went, how long they stayed, and how they heard about you.  It is ALL important. Then package your data into reports for stakeholders and nay-sayers. Sound data is hard to refute.

~Customer/Attendance Surveys
As a part of EI or on its own, knowing what customers or attendees think, want, feel is important.  Ask for quotes to use in marketing, get them to tell the story you can't.  

~Social Media
Too many times we spin our wheels on ineffective campaigns across social platforms but how would you ever know if you don't evaluate the data.  Let us deep dive into your organic and paid media strategies to see what's working and what's not. 

~Email
Email is not dead. It's still one of the top ways to connect immediately with an audience that has deliberately chosen to listen.  But are you saying the right thigns?  Are you connecting and resonating or just becoming part of the inbox noise?
