Measuring success with analytic tools

A well-established social media and web presence has become a necessity for modern marketing. But beyond having a presence, it’s vital to understand how well these assets are performing. Knowing how frequently your site is visited and who is visiting is a way to judge how effective your efforts are. Thankfully there are services available that assist in measuring the effectiveness of your web presence. Here are just a few services available that help track your social media and web traffic.

Google Analytics
Google offers intuitive tracking using this free and easy to use platform. Setting up Google analytics tracking on your webpage is as easy as copying and pasting a few lines of code into the HTML code on your website. After the code is added, account holders can easily track how many users visit a site, where they visited from, and much more.

Yahoo Analytics
Yahoo’s analytic is a similar service to Google Analytics although it is not nearly as popular. While both measure similar factors, Yahoo is considered to be more customizable. Yahoo Analytics provides customizable management options and access to deeper visitor understanding.

Facebook Insights
Facebook Insights provides a valuable resource for making the most out of your Facebook presence. Facebook Insights provides comprehensive details on post comments, follower totals, and likes. With over 800 Million users on Facebook knowing how your brand is being engaged is essential.

Twitaliyzer
Twitter as a platform differs drastically in both operation and influence when compared with any other marketing communications measured on this list. Thankfully Twitaliyzer reports on factors including influence, generosity, velocity, clout, and many other useful factors that contribute to social media success.

Regardless of which platform you choose to implement to track your web and social media traffic, be sure to get in a habit of checking them regularly. Remember that all campaigns you run on ROL have tracking metrics behind them as well. Make sure you are using these to monitor the success of your campaigns.

When it comes to emails, timing is important

Your email is ready. Your list is prepped. You just have to hit send. Wait – knowing when to launch your campaign can be the difference between your email being opened and it getting lost in a sea of messages. Here are three helpful tips for choosing the best time to send your email campaigns.

  • Tip 1: Day In, Day Out
    Avoid sending your emails during the weekend. Emails are less likely to be checked on Saturdays and Sundays. Mondays and Fridays are also worth avoiding. These are typically transitional days and are probably used as preparation days. That leaves you with Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. These are typically the most receptive days to deliver email messages.
  • Tip 2: The Time Has Come
    Just as there are ideal days of the week to send your message, there are peak hours when emails have the highest open rate. The time between 10:00-10:30 a.m. and 1:00-1:30 p.m. are commonly recognized as the best times to send emails. Remember to analyze your list for people who live outside your time zone. Make sure emails get to them during these times during the appropriate time zones.
  • Tip 3: Know Your Audience
    Audiences can be different. Gaining an understanding of your audience’s email habits can be the best way to gauge the ideal times to reach them. Consider sending out a survey to help determine the best delivery time. The best approach might be to simply ask your clients when is the best time to send them emails.
