Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Women of the West Quilt Guild has marketing activities planned with the goal of attracting at least 400 attendees. Attendance and boutique sales impact the net financial income, which will also be measured and reported. Attendance is easily assessed by paid admissions at the door. Boutique sales of member-donated items are also easily tracked.

Measurable Outcome(s)

350 people attended the show, 50 under budget. The attendance was attributed to targeted marketing efforts, venue location, quilt quality, show size, our nationally-known speaker, and good weather in Minnesota. Boutique sales of $2,579.00 far exceeded expectations and helped fund the show. Unsold donations were saved to try and sell at craft shows, etc.
