Jeff @ Marine Depot Jeff, without saying numbers unless you care to, are we allowed to know how the participation was versus your expectation? Did you generate what you expected in sales from our group? I am interested in making sure these are good for you guys so that you want to continue doing them!

The short answer is sales aren't all we are looking at. All forums, clubs, blogs (we're talking aquarium-specific stuff here) etc. we sponsor have vastly different numbers of members/visitors and engagement. So a "bigger" website will most likely perform better than a smaller website. So we look at other metrics. Getting new customers. Getting a first-time customer to place their crucial second order. We look at order values. We look at engagement here on the board. Are members mentioning us more and linking to our site more often? Are customers that came from Buckeye Reef referring their friends through our rewards/loyalty program? Are sales in this area of the country increasing in general, even though we can't necessarily correlate the web traffic from this website to the sale? There are many steps in the "path" to earning a person's business. In the past, companies would just like at the last click. Now we try to take a more holistic approach to how we look at things. It may take multiple touches or impressions with our brand before you decide to shop with us. They all have value, some more than others. But I think you probably get my drift. :-) Hopefully that helped to answer your question! Jeff @ Marine Depot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
