Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

A survey determines if new products attract new consumers, resolve geographic/economic barriers, and/or deepens service to current consumers. 2. More people are aware of CLIMB Theatre. Data collection determines if website redesign, social media efforts, awards, and programming through new technologies introduces CLIMB to 10,000 people.

Two new products expanded and/or deepened service to current demographics and eliminated economic and/or geographic barriers. New products: (1) Faraway Woods podcasts: free online, and (2) one person (lower cost) classes for Middle-School and Preschool. Partner data is collected during booking to identify barriers. Podcast listens, downloads and geo-location is tracked. 2: More people are aware of CLIMB Theatre. CLIMB's web traffic increased after redesign by over 50%, 29,464 unique views since Oct 2015, up from 11,482 in 2014.
