Live Music Venue Boston Consulting Group Matrix
You run a mid-sized live music venue and need clarity on which shows, ticket tiers, and concession offerings to scale.

The Word document provides a detailed, professionally written breakdown of your venue's product portfolio across the BCG Matrix quadrants-Stars, Cash Cows, Dogs, and Question Marks-with strategic insights and recommendations for each segment.
The Excel file offers a high-level, editable matrix with customizable fields for market growth and relative share, allowing you to visualize, adjust, and compare event and revenue-stream performance easily.
