Case Study: Increasing Ticket Sales Through A Progressive Strategy
The Wheaton College Artist Series began in 1950 with a performance by the Robert Shaw Chorale in Coray Alumni Gymnasium. Since then, the last seven decades have featured the world’s best orchestras, chorus, string quartets, brass quintets, dance companies, world music ensembles, conductors, and vocal and instrumental soloists to hundreds of thousands of appreciative concertgoers, including many of Wheaton College’s undergraduate music majors who benefit from having these world-class artists on campus.
Challenge
