Other Perks of Membership
Kansas City businesses receive more than the great feeling that comes with knowing you’ve helped inspire, inform and entertain your community. You also have the opportunity to grow your business.
Unique Experiences
You could take a client out for Kansas City’s barbecue and beer. But think about that certain client’s reaction when you take them for an awe-inspiring ballet, opera or concert?
Your Ensemble Membership lets you customize unique experiences that elevate your interaction with that client. It also aligns your brand with the Kauffman Center for an impression that is sure to be memorable.
A “Thank You” That Rises Above
Instead of a pizza party or perhaps a gift card for a ham, say “thank you” for a star employee’s effort with tickets to a Kauffman Center performance! You can also use your tickets to incentivize goal achievement.
