Case Study
Comparing Visitors’ and Non-Visitors’ Motivations and Sociodemographics: The Case of the Swiss Science Center Technorama
Abstract
Engaging with new and broader audiences is increasingly relevant for cultural institutions. For that reason, visitor studies have become an established part of cultural management and research. Reaching out to new and broader audiences requires non-visitor research as well. Focusing on the case of the Swiss Science Center Technorama this study compares characteristics, needs and motivations of both non-visitors and visitors and shows, based on Falk’s phenotypes, how this information can be used for targeted offerings and digital marketing communications. The results affirm well-known barriers such as price and distance, but also show potential of better targeted offerings and digital communications.
