The member experience
Something to return to between visits.
Egon gives patrons a place to follow their curiosity, develop their eye and look after the art they own—on the web and iPhone.
Consider a work.
A photo from a gallery or fair can start an evaluation of the work, its price and its place in a collection.
Keep the collection in order.
Bring holdings, valuations and supporting documents together in one place, ready for the next conversation.
Patron intelligence
Know what
moves your patrons.
A richer understanding of their tastes gives your team more ways to connect.
See the artists, mediums and periods that interest your patron circle, how tastes are changing and what distinguishes each membership tier from the wider Egon community.
Connect that interest to your exhibitions and permanent collection. Build member visits, talks and collecting conversations around what is already engaging your patrons.
