(Online-behaviour.com/analytic-dashboard) In accessing the web page http://suport.google.com/analytics/answer/1068216?hl (manage your dashboard) for the discussion topic I was able to create a new dashboard for Emack Solutions Limited a relatively new company with minimal presence on the web.

...WEB ANALYTICS DEMYSTIFIED AND ALTIMETER GROUP SOCIAL MARKETING ANALYTICS A NEW FRAMEWORK FOR MEASURING RESULTS IN SOCIAL MEDIA JOHN LOVETT AND JEREMIAH OWYANG WITH ERIC T. PETERSON, CHARLENE LI AND CHRISTINE TRAN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Business Must Adopt A Measurement Framework For Success. The rapid evolution of the web and digital media over the past decade illustrates that we operate in an environment that is constantly in flux. Technologies emerge, communication channels open and consumer behaviors adapt. These changes are apparent in the ways in which consumers interact with marketers and their brands as well as the ways in which consumers empower one another. Yet, as consumer connections, networks and relationships spider to the edges of the globe, marketers take their messages to social media channels with reckless abandon. Organizations that view social marketing as experimental forays jeopardize the relationships they have with their customers because consumers do not regard their actions as frivolous endeavors. They’re making decisions based on the new information they learn from their networks and using that knowledge to take actions and influence others. These actions leave indelible impressions upon brands and the consumers that interact with them. In an effort to help clients better understand the value of these emerging channels on their business, Web Analytics Demystified and Altimeter Group interviewed dozens of companies who are active participants in social...

...Social media marketing refers to the process of gaining website traffic or attention through social media sites. Social media is a platform that is easily accessible to anyone with internet access. Increased communication for organizations fosters brand awareness and often, improved customer service. Additionally, social media serves as a relatively inexpensive platform for organizations to implement marketing campaigns. Social media marketing (SMM) is a form of Internet marketing that utilizes social networking websites as a marketing tool. The goal of SMM is to produce content that users will share with their social network to help a company increase brand exposure and broaden customer reach. Is social media marketing right for your business? * This is the question few companies ask themselves before launching into social media marketing. And, as a result, their forays into social media marketing often result in frustration and, sometimes, failure. Not because social media marketing doesn’t work – just because they didn’t do it correctly. Social media marketing is like any other campaign, it must have an objective and a strategy to achieve desired results. * There are many companies that think it's the quick fix to a struggling business or that it will generate revenue that will help them in a difficult economic time. Truth is that social media can, in fact, affect your bottom line – but, it takes time. * Social media has a sequence of events that transpire...

..."Companies that embrace social media as a central part of their strategy quickly realize social media is not about pushing out promotional materials to their audience. It is about having collaborative interactions with customers, prospects and even employees allowing these companies to gain valuable insights, solidify longlasting relationships and cultivate customer advocates. More and more companies are embracing social media as a strategic part of their business.” (Desk, 2015) The pharmaceutical industry is one of the great absentees of the social media. Out of fifty pharmaceuticals included in a social media use study, only ten had an identifiable presence on social media. Several articles had been written about what they call the "PharmaSocmephobia." A very interesting study from IMS Institute dedicates over 40 pages to explore, discuss and analyze the reasons, the pros and cons of this behavior. By ignoring social media pharmaceuticals are missing on great information for product development, key opinion leader identification and monitoring. Social media are a tool to listen to customer ideas and feedback, and collaborate with social groups to test products and services. As stated by IMS Pharmaceutical companies cannot afford to delay their entry into these ever evolving and increasingly significant new channels of communication. "Early movers will test the water with an educated trial and error approach and discover benefits for the company as a whole...

...2014 by EssayShark “Evaluate The Role Of Social Media Marketing In Regards To Apple’s Products The story of social media marketing started a long time ago when the markets were conversations places for people. Almost everyone is aware of the importance of social media marketing, networking sites and blogs. Social media marketing techniques have been adopted by businesses and governments. All the major businesses and companies in the world use social media for marketing their products. Apple on the other hand has proved everyone wrong who thinks that success without social media marketing is not possible and is considered to be a type of company that does not directly play in the world of social media or market their products with the help of social media. Almost all the business leaders believe that companies need to be socially active in order to be successful in today’s world but Apple acts in a different way. Up till 2011, Apple remained absent from all social networking sites, but was still ranked as one of the most admired brands in the world. The company only maintained the twitter and the Facebook accounts for iTunes and App Store and these accounts were not used to engage customers (Mashable, 2012). This means that social media marketing directly did not play a great role in the success of Apple’s products but it is opposite. But this also does not mean that social media marketing is not helping Apple or Apple is not getting benefited from social media. Other companies are advertising...

That’s just for starters. In addition to social networking sites, there are blogs, comments on traditional media and e-commerce websites, review sites such as ConsumerSearch and Epinion, content-sharing sites such as YouTube and Flickr, and collaborative projects such as Wikipedia. Nearly half of Americans now get their news from the Web. One in five reads blogs. More than 80 percent of Americans use social media in some fashion each month.

...COMPANY DESCRIPTION & EXEC. SUMMARY OF SOCIAL BUSINESS CASE For this assignment we had the fortune of getting to know a bit about the business workings of Brands Cycle and Fitness http://brandscycle.com/. They are a family owned business in existence since 1954 and are located on Long Island, in Wantagh, NY. Brands is very well respected within their industry, and are consistently voted one of the top 10 bike stores in the country by Bicycling Magazine. They have a staff of 90 to 110 employees which scales seasonally to accommodate their peak selling and servicing season in Spring and Summer. We spent an evening with Dan Sirota who is the 3rd generation co-owner of Brands. His father, Gary Sirota, is still an active owner of the business. We were given a behind the scenes tour of the operation and shown the local inventory management process. We learned that the business has evolved from originally selling luggage, then just bicycles, and then bicycles plus fitness equipment with more recent additions of skateboards, fitness apparel, and bicycle shoes. They currently sell about 7,000 – 8,000 bikes per year. The majority of the volume sold is at the $400 – $700 price point, and their maximum bike price is approximately $3,000. Prior to 2010 they were only selling offline and their volume was approximately 10,000 bikes per year at a lower average price point. Their consumers are comprised of locals in the tri-state area as well as national and global customers online. 2012...
