Behavioral Drivers: Knowing the Why, Not Just the What

As a community and cultural center, the 92nd Street Y (92Y) strives to educate, entertain and engage communities.

With advanced customer relationship management (CRM) systems, it has never been easier to understand customer transactional patterns and history. But can recency, frequency and monetary data provide enough information to drive future marketing, fundraising and programming decisions? What really motivates and influences patrons to purchase and donate? 

Transactional measures help us understand WHAT patrons did but don’t tell us WHY they did it. Howard will discuss how understanding behavioral drivers improved 92Y’s ability to engage with patrons based on their emotional needs and motivations, leading to increased sales, donations and deeper connections.
