In the client case study Steve presented, JCA partnered with a museum to help them determine which members were (and weren’t) likely to renew. The museum is now in a position to implement a targeted renewal strategy based on data, not instincts. The museum can also use the profile we created to inform acquisition efforts.

After visiting a children’s museum with her young son in 1992, Leanne Poellinger added “work at a children’s museum” to her bucket list. Just a few years later, there was an article in the local newspaper about another mother of young children who was gathering support to open a children’s museum in La Crosse, WI. I also check Facebook to do a quick scan for any activity on the museum’s page that requires action. Leanne Poellinger.

What is the heart behind your gift?
