MoMA today provides the world with one of the most comprehensive and panoramic views into
modern art
– 150,000 paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, photographs, architectural models and
drawings, and design objects

to the advancement of contemporary art.
Today, the Museum and P.S.1 welcome thousands of visitors every year. A still larger public is

18. MoMA’s Challenge:
Creating a 360 Degree Customer View
The Museum’s Membership and Development (M&D) technology upgrade project was
primarily based on working towards a single view of the Museum member, visitor, donor,
shopper and attendee.
Simply stated, we wanted to know exactly who interacts with the Museum and their interests
over time, including
–
Overall membership renewal rates
–
Membership visitations and patterns
–
Donation history over time
–
eCommerce and in-person transaction history
–
Interest in premium website content and website personalization

21. How is MoMA using Salesforce data?
MoMA recently performed a deep-dive analysis of member Retail shopping
patterns through Salesforce. Here are key questions that we were able to
answer through salesforce:
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
Percentage of total retail sales to members across all retail channels.
How consistent is the member shopping population?
How does shopping behavior vary by channel? (e.g., average $ spend per year, avg $ per
item per channel)
What drives higher sales during the member shopping sale days?
What product categories drive the member shopping days sales increase, per channel?
To what extent is member shopping sale days sales lift driven by higher priced items (e.g.,
furniture)? What is the spread in product categories?
What are the drivers of higher revenue from top spenders?
What are the different shopper “profiles” – what products do they buy, do they use
discounting offers, what channels do they shop in, demographics, how often do they visit
the museum?
Do SoHO shoppers engage with the museum?

26. What’s Next In MoMA’s Salesforce Future
In summary, MoMA plans to leverage Salesforce technology to help in:
•
Managing the sheer quantity of data that is now available for each member and donor.
Making sense and use of big data – integration of unstructured data into useable forms:
Explore integration and conversion of customers from social media sources (e.g., refer to high
number of Facebook and Twitter followers). All interactions with the museum – whether a
Facebook comment, Flickr upload, enews recipient, etc. – have the potential to be converted
to lifelong Museum members!
•
Build out of a new mobile tablet application utilizing the Custom MoMA Salesforce Web
Service layer, which will improve and enhance our current Lobby experience. This will help in
member and donor acquisition directly in our lobby.
•
Use of “push” technology to locate visitors in the museum and “push” relevant content to
them, ultimately leading them to transact with the museum (through the retail channels or
conversion to a donor).
•
Increasing member and donor acquisition across all other channels
– Museum visitors, ticketing information analysis
– Retail shoppers
– MoMA Education Students
– Unified Email and online marketing approach
