Notas do Editor
- Intro: I’ve been with TerpSys for 3 years. I worked with Worldwide ERC for 5 years prior to joining TerpSys. What I do day to day. Why I care about Google Analytics.
- L: TerpSys has been working with Worldwide ERC for about 5 years now. We’ve worked with them on user-research, design and development.
- L: How do you know which marketing programs are succeeding?ROIGoogle Analytics is appropriate for most Associations even though it’s a free product.
- H: Worldwide ERC – or Employee Relocation Council. WE are the association for relocation and global mobility. Better said – when you are offered a new job within your company, but its in India… all of the people that make your move happen from your company’s policy perspective are members of our organization.
- H: NOTES: Decided to use Worldwide ERC’s Global Workforce Symposium 2011 meeting as our ‘case study’ – given that WERC had only dabbled in using Google Analytics and never for an extended, comprehensive project/plan, we thought this was an excellent opportunity.The GWS is our global meeting that is held in the US. It was a perfect case study b/c it was a defined project, had a start and distinct end date.

- We were very consistent – well mostly – on how we created these links.Always GWS11 was used for the Campaign name. Source: who was the intended audience? All of our members, general public?Medium: ad, email, social media??
- H: And will all good plans – we failed at first. OK fail might be strong, but it wasn’t going well and I felt like the girl in the middle.At the time we didn’t have a centralized marketing department so everyone had their hand in the pie. There were MANY missed tracking opportunities.
- H: OK so we just had to look at things differently. I had to sell it to my own staff. No problem… But about a month in, it caught on. I started reporting out the success of the links that were tracked – knowing this would be my bait ;) All of our data hungry staff bit right away. From then out I was being asked for links.And yes, I controlled the link tracking at this point. WE used the link conversion tool
- Then we waited and let the data roll in.
- L & H: The unexpected success of Globility Banner Advertising.The plan for labeling the campaign names.This is an example of naming campaigns properly. Come up with a plan before you start creating links.Suggestion to create a spreadsheet and a naming convention.All campaign names should start with GWS11 so they could be easily tracked within one report.Always GWS11 was used for the Campaign name. Source: who was the intended audience? All of our members, general public?Medium: ad, email, social media??
- H: Mention that L will talk about the visits by Member Type.
- L: How the custom variable was setup. Pulled demographics out of avectra and then fed that back into Google Analytics through their custom variable tools.
- L: This report shows a breakdown of members who were viewing the GWS11 site. It’s broken down by the type of membership that they have with the organization. Seeing the number of corporate members can help sell sponsorships to the RS members.H: Important to see that the corporate members are responding to their marketing.
- L: This report shows the top pages that non-members are going to. H: It looks like non-members are viewing the job board more than the homepage so it may be a good idea to take advantage of the job board to promote membership and event registration.Q: Is anyone using advanced segments now? Can you share how you’re breaking it out? Or does anyone have a question on how you could use it?
- L: Why a Funnel?Well, we also have a relatively new AMS system where we are deploying registration collection directly from the AMS. We wanted to test to see if our members/users were leaving the process so we could tweak to ensure completion of the registration form.

- Facebook was likely more organic where Twitter was more effective when ERC was feeding the tweets.
- L: You can see that the peaks are during their meetings.
- Then we waited and let the data roll in.
- Let’s open this up to questions.Have we showed you anything that you can take back to your org and how do you think you could use it?
