TAR 2024
It is fair to say that 2022/23 was a success with our box office sales achieving 46%, against a projected budget of 40% and compared to 37% for the previous season. This was the first season since Covid that we felt we were back to normal. The feedback that was received was positive and complimentary, many audience members mentioning the professional quality of the productions.
The Exec committee have met regularly throughout the year and have been working to manage and improve the way that we operate.
We continue to be open to new ideas and suggestions which has helped us: -
-
To expand our marketing coverage through various social media sites and approximately twenty-five web sites resulting in attracting new people from outside the North Staffordshire and South Cheshire area and resulted in a huge saving on printed advertising material.
-
We are improving our communication with our membership using our inhouse newsletter, Repport, and dedicated Facebook page.
-
We can now be more flexible with ticketing, offering discounts and offers when appropriate.
The last two seasons have halted what had been quite a rapid decline in box office sales pre lockdown, but we cannot be complacent.
