Advertising
Created an advertisement for inclusion in
the Symphony programs for the coming season.
Investigated advertising in Local Musician, a
growing private entertainment paper.
Advertised via a banner at the Roosters games.
Advertised on WFMG 101.3 during June and July.
Log Analysis for June and 2nd Quarter
Ran weekly and posted on the Members Only
page. Weekly averages are 1626 visitors and 5,205 hits, down slightly from last
month's report. June figures were down 18% on user sessions and up 6% on page views.
These figures are to be expected considering the beautiful weather we had this past
month and the move to outside activities. Also, due to school being out, the numbers
decrease on our page with the second largest number of hits, the Levi Coffin House.
Second quarter figures rose a respectable 10% increase for user
sessions and an even better 26% increase for hits over the 1st
quarter of 1999. I expect one more month of level statistics before we see another
jump as schools return to session and the evenings grow darker. Quarterly figures reflect
a 225% increase over the same time last year.
