Advertising
Ad is now in Little Sheba's souvenir
menu.
Sent a direct mail letter to those on the
Chamber's Mailing List. Mailed 750 letters on May 3, 1999.
Will begin advertising on WFMG 101.3 during June
and July.
Log Analysis April 1999
Ran weekly and posted on the Members Only
page. Weekly averages are 2,505 visitors and 6,966 hits, up slightly from last
month's report. April figures were up 10% on user sessions and 13% on page views.
These figures are encouraging considering the beautiful weather we had this past month and
the move to outside activities. First quarter figures are
astounding with 65% increase in user sessions and 52% increase in
hits over the 4th quarter of 1998. I expect a leveling of growth or perhaps
a small downturn in these figures for next month as people forsake their computers to
enjoy outside activities in their free time.
