Nerd times!

So, you think the topic is boring? OR....
Wednesday, December 8, 2010

TERRIFYING!
Let’s be data nerds

Wednesday, December 8, 2010

Our time is precious. Let’s not waste it by investing our time in the wrong strategies. Only
have enough time to deal with two marketing/communications channels? This case study
should help you figure our which channel brings you the most value.
The experiment



Wednesday, December 8, 2010
http://action.davidsuzuki.org/C-311




Wednesday, December 8, 2010

A standard petition.

Protesting the Senate’s veto-ing of Bill C-311 The Climate Change Accountability Act.
The Act would have made government accountable for putting in place the solutions to reduce global warming emissions to safe levels – in line with targets that
leading scientists say are necessary to avoid the devastating consequences of uncontrolled climate change.
Share-with-a-friend



Wednesday, December 8, 2010

The secret sauce to any petition is the share feature.
It’s the core of list growth for many organizations.
Wednesday, December 8, 2010

Share on FB and Twitter, plus an email form.
Wednesday, December 8, 2010

And now we REALLY get into data nerdiness
Glaven!

WHAT WE’RE MEASURING: what % of visitors to the action alert landing page completed the
form and sent an email to the Prime Minister.

NOTE: I didn’t track Twitter with a tracking URL, so I only see traffic generated by people
using the website. Tweetdeck, Twitterific and other applications don’t show up. I also did not
track the share-with-a-friend-by -email link.
Lots of data



Wednesday, December 8, 2010

But what does it mean? Sometimes we have to make educated guesses.
And the data is NEVER 100% accurate. It’s mostly useful as a rough measurement and for
comparing changes vs. real numbers. Ie.) When Google Analytics says you have 100,000
visitors it’s lying, but you can trust it if it sez your traffic has gone up or down 10%. Relative
measures vs. hard numbers.
So we know our
                  conversion rates on

                           ...

But what’s our
                   conversion rate going
                  back one more step to
                  the source website or

Wednesday, December 8, 2010

What can we learn from all this?

+ Email tends to have a higher conversion rate than web traffic. Use it! BUT, emails with
several links don’t drive clicks (see Science Matters)

+ Facebook is now the largest driver of traffic to the advocacy pages, and may actually
convert at a higher rate than our general email list.

+DSF homepage drove traffic, but converted very badly. General audience hard to target
Wednesday, December 8, 2010

Ouch!
Let’s wash out brains off after all that hard work.
So, how do you track a
                    campaign like this?


Wednesday, December 8, 2010
Two steps


                   1. Setup task-completed Goals
                   2. Tag your URLS




Wednesday, December 8, 2010
Goals




Wednesday, December 8, 2010

Go into your Google Analytics Settings and add a new goal.
You need to have a separate URL for each step and can’t leave your domain.

And you’re done!
Group buying and deals



Wednesday, December 8, 2010
You’ve probably heard about Groupon, the daily deal site that offers discounts if a minimum number of purchase commitments are made. They’ve already got 18 million subscribers and are continuing to grow
rapidly. But did you know that Groupon evolved out of  the social-change focused online community The Point?

	

 •	

   How can nonprofits and social entrepreneurs make use of Groupon and Groupon-like sites?
	

 •	

   What’s the best way to structure the deal?
	

 •	

   Is it right for you and your organization?
The Panel

                         • Annalea Krebs, Founder and CEO of
                                  ethicalDeal
                         • Chris Mathieson, Executive Director of the
                                  Vancouver Police Museum




Wednesday, December 8, 2010
Join panelists Annalea Krebs of ethicalDeal and Chris Mathieson of the Vancouver Police Museum as they share their experiences from both the business and client sides of the relationship.

ethicalDeal launched a daily deal with the David Suzuki Foundation this morning. (Tuesday, December 7)

Annalea Krebs is a passionate social entrepreneur whose vision and energy to build a brighter, more sustainable future inspires those around her. She believes that business can be a powerful force for change,
and loves companies that are built to make the world better. For Annalea, ethicalDeal is an opportunity to introduce more people to sustainable businesses, products & services.

Chris Mathieson is the Executive Director of the Vancouver Police Museum, a self-funded charity that has seen incredible growth (from 3000 to 25,000 visitors a year) over the last five years, partly by being
unafraid to take small risks in social media and other emerging technologies.

A few additional notes from Chris:

“- We’ve offered two Groupons since they launched in the Vancouver, one for museum admission and one for our “Sins of the City” walking tour. Both offers were very carefully crafted to benefit us while
minimizing our risks, something some companies don’t seem to be doing. Both were significant successes for us, but only because we were thoughtful about what we were doing. (We hope…)”
30 second updates!

  • 33. The Panel • Annalea Krebs, Founder and CEO of ethicalDeal • Chris Mathieson, Executive Director of the Vancouver Police Museum Wednesday, December 8, 2010 Join panelists Annalea Krebs of ethicalDeal and Chris Mathieson of the Vancouver Police Museum as they share their experiences from both the business and client sides of the relationship. ethicalDeal launched a daily deal with the David Suzuki Foundation this morning. (Tuesday, December 7) Annalea Krebs is a passionate social entrepreneur whose vision and energy to build a brighter, more sustainable future inspires those around her. She believes that business can be a powerful force for change, and loves companies that are built to make the world better. For Annalea, ethicalDeal is an opportunity to introduce more people to sustainable businesses, products & services. Chris Mathieson is the Executive Director of the Vancouver Police Museum, a self-funded charity that has seen incredible growth (from 3000 to 25,000 visitors a year) over the last five years, partly by being unafraid to take small risks in social media and other emerging technologies. A few additional notes from Chris: “- We’ve offered two Groupons since they launched in the Vancouver, one for museum admission and one for our “Sins of the City” walking tour. Both offers were very carefully crafted to benefit us while minimizing our risks, something some companies don’t seem to be doing. Both were significant successes for us, but only because we were thoughtful about what we were doing. (We hope…)”
