Performance Dashboards:
Monitor, Measure and Improve
Your Results

In todays marketing world, there are a variety of new ways to reach customers online.

New media and emerging vehicles have brought with them greater levels of data that marketers need to pull together in order to optimize their marketing efforts. What used to be a matter of "how do I get this information?" is now shifting to "how do I use this information?" to improve marketing performance.

WebTrends Performance Dashboards allow your organization to easily track Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that are critical to measuring the success of your online business. The dashboards can be accessed by everyone in your organization, ensuring that you have consistent performance metrics to help you prove and improve your marketing results.

WebTrends Marketing Lab, which consists of WebTrends Analytics 8 and WebTrends Marketing Warehouse, provides easy-to-understand Performance Dashboards that allow you to:
  • Set performance goals
  • Track the performance of key business drivers
  • Perform "what-if" analysis to determine the cause and effect of specific activities
Get a complimentary guide to learn more about how the dashboards work.
