Google Analytics: A free and easy way to improve your online communications strategy

Thursday, January 12, 2012, 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.

Many nonprofit organizations know that Google Analytics can help  them hone the effectiveness of their online communications efforts. But what do all those website campaign metrics – pageviews, bounce rates, visitors – really mean? In a three-hour session, Ann-Marie Harrington, founder and president of Embolden, will show you how to interpret the data, including from advanced features and tools. She will draw examples from a live case study, making the presentation easy to follow.

Ann-Marie also will tell you why understanding the data is important for improving your online communication efforts – whether through your website, enewsletters, or social media campaigns.
