DESCRIPTION
Using Web Analytics to Influence Business Decisions for NE/SAE: New England Society of Association Executives Web analytics tools help you track your site's statistics, allowing you to see how many people are looking at which page, what sites your visitors are coming from, who your users are, and more. This information can in turn help you measure traffic, understand your visitors' needs and behavior, and gauge click-through rates to new content or features. Whether you're a nonprofit or a for-profit, your data-tracking needs are virtually the same. This session will show you what to consider when choosing an analytics package, and identify free tools and robust applications that can help you better understand your site's visitors. You will learn how to continuously improve your web site, how to find out what your prospective members are most interested in and where they tend to find you, and how you can hone your message and marketing efforts both online and offline to get more leads.
