Abstract
The purpose of this study is to explore possible ways to make a strategical use of CRM(Customer Relationship Management) for facilitating performing arts. In order to satisfy the purpose, this study investigated actual cases of CRM, primarily focusing on LG Art Center, one of representative performance venues in South Korea, and CREDIA, a performing art planning agency in South Korea. Here, it was found that LG Art Center operated its independent TMS(Theater Management System) and thereby could afford to successfully plan performing art programs on the basis of customer-oriented convenient ticketing system as well as a pile of customer information. On the other hand, CREDIA introduced advanced performance management system and has successfully attracted larger membership than before. Moreover, it organized specialized personnel in membership management and thereby could manage membership in systematic manner. And it was found that based on web log analysis, CREDIA developed a variety of products to comply with customer needs and thereby could realize higher returns and better customer satisfaction through cross-selling activities as well as performance ticketing. However, it was found that CREDIA still operated its membership system and mileage point system in stereotypes manner. Thus, it is required to operate differentiated membership system based on membership grades and diversify practical ways to save and use mileage points, so that CRM can be strategically applied to develop new audience and maintain loyal customers.
본 연구의 목적은 공연예술 활성화를 위한 CRM(Customer Relationship Management)의 전략적 활용방안을 모색하는 것이다. 국내의 대표적인 공연장인 LG아트센터와 공연기획사인 크레디아를 중심으로 CRM의 사례를 살펴보았다. LG아트센터는 독자적인 공연장운영시스템(Theater Management System : TMS) 운영을 통해 고객중심의 편리한 매표방식과 축적된 고객정보를 바탕으로 한 성공적인 공연프로그램 기획이 가능하였다. 크레디아는 공연관리시스템을 도입하여 도입이전 보다 회원이 많이 증가하였으며 회원관리 전담인력을 구성하여 체계적으로 관리가 가능하게 되었고 웹로그 분석(web-log analysis)으로 고객의 니즈에 부합한 다양한 상품들을 개발하여 공연티켓판매 뿐만 아니라 교차판매를 통한 수익증대와 고객만족을 실천하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 회원제도와 포인트제도가 천편일률적인 형태로 운영되고 있어 회원별 등업 제도 실시와 등급별 포인트 적립을 통해 신규관객을 개발하고 우수고객을 유지할 수 있는 CRM의 전략적 적용이 요구된다.
