About the webinar:
We’ve all done it — we see a website with all the bells and whistles that we wish we had on our own website and automatically think we should emulate it for our organization, so we go for it. While imitation may be the most sincere form of flattery, flattery won’t get you far in actively creating a long-lasting return on your marketing investment — and neither will building websites based solely off of our own opinions and/or individual user experience.
In this session, we will:
- Discuss the common pitfalls that often lead organizations to miss the opportunity to make data-informed decisions, particularly when it comes to website usability.
- Dive into Google Analytics — how to prioritize and interpret the available reports to avoid analysis paralysis.
- Discuss how to establish benchmarks in order to use analytics to measure the return on marketing investment.
