​​When it comes to marketing your subscriptions, there's a better way than blanketing mass media channels. Â
​Â
​Let's break down why.Â
​Â
​Targeted ApproachÂ
​Â
​The most likely people to subscribe are those who have already attended a performance or visited your gallery.Â
​ Â
​Remember that, in a subscription campaign, you are asking someone to buy multiple performances at one time.Â
​Â
​The most likely group to subscribe for the first time is anyone who has attended at least once in the past.Â
​Â
​Efficiency and CustomizationÂ
​Â
​Direct marketing allows you to customize your messaging to different segments of your audience. Â
​Â
​You can tailor your pitch to lapsed subscribers, enticing them to return, or craft a compelling message for single ticket buyers to consider subscribing.Â
​Â
​Customization means you can talk to the patron where they are in their relationship to your organization.Â
​Â
​Strategic Budget AllocationÂ
​Â
​Here's the kicker: When you save your subscription mass media budget for when your single tickets go on sale, you're making your marketing dollars work smarter. Â
​Â
​You'll reach a broader audience, attracting both new and returning patrons.Â

​So, remember this: When it comes to subscriptions, think targeted, efficient, and strategic. Â
​Â
​Avoid mass media and embrace direct marketing for a more personalized and cost-effective approach.Â
