How do I analyse my data in Audience Finder Data Tools using the updated version of Audience Spectrum?
Audience Spectrum has become an essential part of the arts marketing vocabulary since its launch in 2015. We recently shared the biggest update to Audience Spectrum that we have done to date, including the development of 10 additional subsegments to the core segments.
What this means in relation to your audiences within Audience Finder Data Tools? For those contributing ticketing data and touring organisations using Audience Finder Show Stats, you can already head over to your dashboard and start analysing using the new subsegments. If you are contributing survey data, options will shortly be available. We’ll keep you updated through upcoming Service Updates and the Knowledge Base.

How often does my data update in my dashboards?
A quick update as a reminder which has been an FAQ in our support desk this month.
If you are using a fully supported ticketing/CRM system, your data will update each Saturday in Audience Finder Original. It will then be extracted into Audience Finder Answers the following day, so that you are ready to start the new week. This upload consists of new data from all matured (past) productions from the previous week.
Uploads from users on semi-supported systems occur at the organisation’s discretion but, similarly, are updated weekly once the data extraction has taken place.
Looking to access your production data in Audience Finder Show Stats? Your touring data will be available to request, but a few things need to happen before you are able to access it.
1) Firstly, the host venue has to have closed the production.
2) The data will then be available after the following Saturday, when it has uploaded into Audience Finder Original.
3) Finally, the host organisation has to approve your access to the production data. As soon as this happens, your production data will be available to analyse and use within annual reports.
As soon as a respondent has digitally completed an Audience Finder survey, it will be stored securely in our Webhost. These responses are then updated daily into Audience Finder Answers and once a week, on a Tuesday, into Audience Finder Original.
What’s new in Audience Finder Answers?: Ticketing Income Headlines
There is a new feature suite in Audience Finder Answers entitled Headlines .
First up is Ticketing Income Headlines, designated for users contributing ticketing data. This insight gives a snapshot of your ticketing income over any given date range. Additionally, your data is compared to the average income of all UK ticketing organisations over the same date range. You are, therefore, able to immediately see income trends for your organisation and where these sit within a broader picture.
