Web Analytics

Optimizing your online marketing efforts isn’t easy. You may have access to lots of reports that offer good summary data, but find it very difficult to drill down and "slice-and-dice" data to answer important questions about your site visitors. Without the ability to easily test and analyze your results, how can you understand personal customer behavior and optimize website and campaign performance? 

Taking the next step to link your web data to your customer data and improve customer communications prompts more questions. How much of your company’s offline business is influenced by the Web? What‘s the impact of a catalog, social media or direct marketing effort on web traffic and conversion rates?  How do you target the right customers and prospects with relevant messages based on their recent web behavior? How do you remarket to customers that have visited your site, and left without purchasing?

With Unica’s next-generation web analytics solution you can leverage web analytics as a rich source of behavioral insights on individual prospects and customers. You can track far more than who visited your web properties, but also capture how they responded to your online campaigns and social media efforts. You can then easily link this behavioral insight to your data mart, and take action based on this enhanced picture of your customers and prospects.

When trying to optimize Web sites, marketers often find themselves inundated with reports that offer good summary data, but don't provide the level of detail really needed and don't allow them to drill down and "slice-and-dice" data the way they need to in order to answer important questions. Deciphering which strategies work and which don’t remains difficult, especially since unanticipated questions always arise as marketers seek to understand Web site behavior and optimize site performance. 

Even more daunting is linking Web data to the rest of the customer experience, and using Web data to improve customer communications. How much of a company’s offline business is influenced by the Web? What is the impact of a catalog or direct marketing on Web traffic and conversion?  Which customers or prospects should be targeted with particular messages based on their recent Web behavior?
