Harness the Power of Advanced Web Analytics Training and Convert Data Into Profits!
Interactive marketing has exploded in popularity and usage, due in large part to its measurability. In fact, Forrester predicts that U.S. businesses will spend approximately $953 million on web analytics software in 2014, with an average compound growth rate of 17%.* At the same time, new research from Econsultancy and Lynchpin shows a shift from spending on technology (which decreased from 45% to 38%) to spending on internal staff (which increased from 36% to 42%)** - highlighting a growing need for trained analytics professionals.
Web analytics tools make it possible to track everything from page hits to visitor demographics to advertising ROI.
