Get Smart About Web Analytics with the Minnesota Interactive Marketing Association (MIMA)
This month MIMA hosts Eric T. Peterson from the Visual Sciences division of web analytics firm, WebSideStory. Peterson will present on web analytics usage, improved usage and how to get the most out of your analytics program.
Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) May 11, 2006 -- The Minnesota Interactive Marketing Association (www.mima.org) has announced its next monthly educational event, “Making Your Web Analytics Work. Hard.” The event will describe five different segments of web analytics usage within organizations and detail how companies at each distinct phase can push themselves to "do more" with their investment in analytics.
Based on research and hundreds of conversations with companies actively engaged in a variety of web analytics projects, this presentation is designed to help the audience form a clear plan of action they can use to improve their own use of web analytics organizationally.
“Not only will this presentation provide clear guidance in maximizing investment in web analytics,” said Kristina Halvorson, MIMA President, “but it will also provide practical takeaways that can be applied to your organization today. We’re excited to have someone of Eric’s caliber and insights participate in MIMA’s seminar program.”
“Few organizations fully realize the potential of their investment in web analytics technology,” said Peterson. “Web analytics applications provide truly actionable data that can be used to positively impact an organization’s bottom-line but companies need to treat web analytics as a business process, not simply an ad hoc endeavor. My work at Visual Sciences, and my MIMA presentation, revolves around how companies can treat web analytics as a business process and dramatically improve the return on investment."
