Key Points:
- The Marketing Module in PatronBase has been designed to help you answer one key question: Who? Who are your Patrons and who are your stakeholders?
- Stakeholders in Arts can be defined as people who have interest in an organisation’s affairs. They fall into two categories: Internal Stakeholders and External Stakeholders
- The Marketing Module is there to help us analyse the behaviour and interests of our stakeholders.
- The Main Window of the Marketing Module is called The Reporting Window
- The Advance Booking Period filter allows us to look at how far in advance patrons are booking and how far in advance they previously booked for a particular show or shows within a particular period of time.
- The Book Type Filter tells us who booked which book types.
- The Donor Filter tells us who made donations, how much they donated and for what reason.
- The New Patron Filter tells us who was added to the database and when.
- The Patron Attributes filter allows you to find patrons by selected custom attributes you have specified.
- The Patron Category filter will allow you to find patrons by their Patron Category. Patron Categories are customised in the Administration Module.

- Through tracking behaviour and activity regardless of privacy preference, we can gain insights into useful data for reports that inform our funding applications, strategic direction and more.
