Our audience evaluation
programme helping museums
understand and build knowledge about
their audiences.
Our cohort of museums for 2020 have now been shortlisted and invited to take part in our audience evaluation programme.
Tailored to work particularly well for organisations who have fewer than 20,000 visitors and have a volunteer workforce and operate seasonally.
Using South West Visitor Insights will help you to:
- Have a clear understanding of who your current audiences are
- Increase your audiences by targeting and tailoring your offer
- Write informed, evidence based funding applications
- Advocate to current and potential partners about the reach of your audiences
- Prioritise areas of work e.g. programming and outreach
- Spend limited marketing budgets more effectively
- Engage with new audiences locally and nationally
- Understand why people engage, their interests and what they value
- Understand the impact of tourism on your audiences
