PASSION FOR RESULTS
HOW MANY MORE DO YOU NEED?
SUBSCRIPTION BUILDER
StillArt has been able to methodically achieve such quantifiable results with our carefully-designed systematic 25-step process of subscription marketing best practices. We work intensively together for three to four years to not only grow the numbers, but to ensure that the subscription process becomes an integrated part of the organization going forward. Our team consists of a Project Manager and up to four Senior Advisors, highly successful CEOs or Marketing Managers of performing arts organizations, handpicked for their excellent real-life results. We do not charge consultancy fees nor administrative expenses, but are rather compensated on our results, with commissions on increased subscription revenue. The Subscription Builder process is highly customized to each client’s unique situation and goals.
