Visitor Experience
The best possible on-site experience is achieved with consistent feedback from your visitors. Do you know who is visiting and why? How do your visitors rate their experience? How is your staff performing on courtesy, cleanliness, and interaction?
We utilize visitor surveys (via kiosk or on-site interviewers), industry benchmarks, focus groups, and more to help you:
- Learn Who is Visiting and Why
- Improve the Visitor Experience
- Track Staff Performance
- Benchmark Your Results

Donor Growth
Reaching new donors and moving current donors up the donor pipeline are necessary for any nonprofit organization’s financial health. Our work will help you understand what motivates your donors to give, how often they’re able to give, and what will inspire them to give more now and in the future.
We utilize donor surveys, donor acquisition studies, focus groups, and more to help you:
