We have Patron's Edge and would love to know how to use it to collect zipcodes. Can anyone advise?

We DO collect zipcode data from visitors during the ticketing process and stored in our Patron's Edge database. We chose to write a google maps mashup that would pull this data from Patron's Edge and plot it on the map. We also wanted to compare this admissions info with the census data for that zipcode. For this, we used the information from zipskinny.com and pulled that into the Google Map as well. I agree with Rich that the harder part is working with Marketing and Administration about how we should act on this information now that we have it. We're still in process there, but seeing the information in action is definately helpful in envisioning how this should happen. You can check-out what we've done on our Dashboard website here: http://dashboard.imamuseum.org/series/Admissions+Map We're happy to talk with folks more about how to implement this type of solution if you're interested...
