• Get direct feedback to understand the “why”
behind the “what”
• Ask specific questions about issues that cause
them to drop or not continue - content,
search, navigation – not questions about
general satisfaction
• Use targeted and short surveys on page, at
exit or post visit – ask for “opt in” for follow up
surveys – don’t do long surveys

Editor's Notes
A COMMON USE CASE IS HOW TO INTEGRATE ANALYTICS INTO BOTH MAJOR AND MINOR SITE REDESIGN INITIATIVES
IN THIS SESSION I’M GOING TO SHARE MY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR HOW YOU CAN USE DATA TO HELP YOU IMPROVE THE DIGITAL CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE
FOR TODAY, FOR AN EXAMPLE, LET’S DO A QUICK STUDY FOR HOW WE’D USE ANALYTICS TO ASSESS IMPROVEMENT OF A SHOPPING SITE THAT RELIES BOTH ON CONTENT AND TASK COMPLETION TO BE SUCCESSFUL –
WHILE YOU MAY NOT HAVE AN ECOM SITE, YOUR CONTENT IS ALWAYS LEADING CUSTOMERS TO DO SOMETHING NEXT AND EVENTUALLY COMPLETE A TASK– WHETHER ITS PROVIDING YOU WITH INFORMATION FOR LEAD GENERATION, SIGNING UP FOR AN OFFER, SIGNING INTO AN ACCOUNT, FILLING OUT A FORM, INTERACTING WITH A CUSTOMER SERVICE REP OR A CHATBOT
FOR TODAY, YOU’RE ALL PRODUCT MANAGERS FOR A COMPANY THAT SELLS OUTDOOR RECREATION PRODUCTS – IN PARTICULAR YOU’RE IN CHARGE OF THE PRODUCTS THAT ARE HUMAN POWERED – KAYAKS, CANOES, PADDLE BOARDS.
THE SITE HAS UNDERGONE LITTLE CHANGE OVER THE LAST 12 MONTHS AND WHILE SALES ARE OK THEY ARE BELOW TARGET.
HOW DO YOU USE ANALYTICS TO INFORM YOUR PLANS FOR A REDESIGN?
ALL OF THESE QUESTIONS THAT WE’VE ASKED CAN BE ANSWERED THROUGH FOUR DATA SETS THAT ARE SOURCED THROUGH CUSTOMER JOURNEY CLICKSTREAM TRACKING, VOICE OF CUSTOMER SURVEYS, USER EXPERIENCE TESTING AND SOCIAL MEDIA MONITORING
MANY ORGANIZATIONS FIXATE ON ONLY ONE DATA SET AND DON’T HAVE A GOOD PLAN IN PLACE FOR INTEGRATING AND COMPLEMENTING ALL OF THE TECHNIQUES AND TECHNOLOGIES.
IDEALLY, YOU SHOULD CREATE AN ANALYTICS PLAN THAT DESCRIBES HOW DATA CAN BE USED, WHO OWNS THE DATA, HOW THEY CAN BE SHARED AND USED FOR ANSWERING SPECIFIC QUESTIONS AND SOLVING SPECIFIC ISSUES. THIS IS MORE OF A GOVERNANCE ISSUE THAN A TECHNOLOGY ISSUE.
AND WHAT WE SEE IS THAT ANALYTICS SILOS ARE COMMON AND FOLLOW THE SILOS THAT EXIST BETWEEN DEPARTMENTS AND DIGITAL COMPETENCIES.
LET’S TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO SEE HOW YOU CAN USE EACH OF THESE ANALTYICS METHODS TO ANSWER OUR QUESTIONS.
LET’S SPEND A FEW MINUTES, DESCRIBING HOW TO USE EACH OF THE METHODS YOU SEE HERE.
