Visitor numbers - the answer is metrics

Editor's Notes

  1. Unless its about ticket sales, metrics don’t show success. They are good for other stuff like improving site performance or design but they won’t tell you how you have enganged Need to use measures that apply to our exhibitions, performances, events – us
  2. Culture24 is dedicated to connecting people with culture. Our site is published several times a day and contains news, reviews, exhibitions, trails, events, educational resources and online resources from over 4000 museums and galleries in the UK. More than half the staff are editorial staff, and we have a huge network of trainee and volunteer writers contributing content too.
  3. Free
  4. Free
  5. Free for tracking last 7 days. http://tweetreach.com/
  6. Free
  7. There are lots of things you can measure with social media. Time consuming – investment. Careful to map activity to objectives. Be as specific as possible.
  8. Intent: Without clearly defined objectives we have no criteria to evaluate success
