Transforming From Web Analytics to Online Marketing

Michael Halbrook

The digital marketplace has given us communication opportunities we couldn’t fathom just years ago, yet businesses still struggle to create engaging customer experiences and improve conversion rates. But the savviest marketers have extended Web analytics across their customer’s lifecycle to create a comprehensive online strategy to address these challenges.

As they have transformed to a 50/50 physical rental reservation desk and online business, they have been able to significantly increase online reservations and actual car pickups. They will explain how the Omniture Suite has helped them build a segmentation strategy using Web site and email campaign data. The Omniture Suite has also enabled Dollar Thrifty to leverage insights into multiple customer touch points,  including site targeting, direct mail and car rental franchises. This case study will provide a blueprint for building an overarching online strategy.

The Road to the Online Marketing Suite

Suresh Vittal

Marketers love integrated solutions. And why not. Integration improves process efficiency, transparency, reduces costs, supports holistic measurement, and increases program effectiveness. But there’s more to a suite than coupling multiple products together. Marketers must ensure that their organizational vectors are well positioned for successful adoption of the online marketing suite.

Specifically, Marketers must ensure that the organization’s technology, process, people, and reward structures are correctly aligned, a cohesive technology roadmap is in place, and their technology and analytics IQ is primed to meet the future needs. But few online marketing organizations are prepared for this challenge.

This session will:

1. Outline the technology adjacencies that online marketers must pay attention to
2. Describe the anatomy of an online marketing technology roadmap

Video Killed the Radio Star—How to Optimize Online Video

Jeff Jordan

Measuring the impact of online video on customer acquisition and conversion is a significant challenge for marketers today, and many have found it difficult to bridge the gap between a consumer’s interaction with a viral video and that consumer’s behavior on the marketer’s site. In addition, marketers have previously had to review information for each video-sharing site individually and often with a lag time of 30–90 days. We will cover how the Omniture Suite helps you measure the performance of viral video campaigns in real time and how they impact consumer behavior and interaction with the brand.

Closing the Loop Between Marketing Programs and Sales Metrics

Coby Nilsson

Does your sales department question the contribution of your marketing programs to sales?  How would your marketing decisions change if every marketing campaign was measured not only in terms of “leads”, but by its impact on revenue and sales?

As organizations evolve, it is simply not enough to base marketing ROI and budgets on shallow metrics like number of visitors or responses.  This means that the metrics that matter are marketing-originated qualified leads, sales opportunities, and revenue from closed deals.  Making the right decisions requires coordinated marketing and sales data that provides a holistic view of marketing performance. In order to accomplish this, Omniture and Salesforce.com have created a strategic framework and integration called Closed Loop Marketing.  

Attend this session and learn:
• How to best to leverage CLM insights to optimize marketing investments and drive alignment between Marketing and Sales
• Lessons learned from Limelight Networks, an industry leader in B2B sales and marketing
• Key considerations to adopting Closed Loop Measurement in your organization
• Moving beyond “lights on” deployment

Optimizing Rich Media Merchandising for Strong Conversions

Your online shoppers are looking for the perfect product at the best price – but like shopping in-store, they also expect an engaging experience. Even when shopping online, customers want to feel as though they have touched and examined products up close and personal.

When it comes to converting browsers to buyers, we know that it is important to deliver rich, interactive experiences with multiple product images and empower shoppers to visually configure products to suit their unique tastes.

From the homepage to product pages and through checkout – rich media can dramatically improve merchandising and the experience you offer shoppers, ultimately improving conversions.

Audience Measurement—Overview of the Integration with comScore

Jared Cook

Two keys to implementing a successful digital marketing initiative are the ability to measure and analyze online marketing performance and the ability to capture accurate views of audience reach across multiple information sources. Previously, publishers and advertisers used two primary sources for measuring the impact of digital advertising—Web analytics and panel-based audience measurement. Because the two measurement methodologies have disparate objectives and employ different data collection technologies, the resulting dissimilar metrics can cause confusion and uncertainty among publishers and advertisers.

Learn more about the relationship between Omniture and comScore and how it will enable organizations to unify their online and panel-based audience measurement information, providing more consistent and more comprehensive standard metrics.

Rethinking the Landing Page’s Role in Conversion

John Broady

For years, marketers have viewed landing pages in simple terms—receive interested visitors, pass them through to more meaningful or actionable pages, count the clicks, done. Today, online marketing technology has evolved so that landing pages can be optimized to do a lot more. Yet, as an Internet user, how often have you searched for a specific item only to end up on a generic landing page? With little more than three seconds to make an impression on the visitor, interactive marketers need to make sure that their landing pages create immediate engagement. This session will discuss strategies that empower marketers to optimize every element on a landing page and present ideas and best practices to improve content relevance. The session will also include a workshop where attendees will be invited to volunteer a landing page to be evaluated by an expert for potential opportunities for improvement.

Optimizing Display Advertising Campaigns

Chris Duskin

Companies are spending an ever-growing portion of their marketing budget on online display advertising campaigns. However, very few companies are taking advantage of available optimization technologies to improve the performance of these campaigns. Too often the learnings about what worked and what didn’t are compiled after a campaign has run its course in hopes of improving the next one. This session will highlight how the same technology used to test, refine and target online content on websites can now be utilized to optimize, in real time, the relevance and performance of display advertisements.

This session will cover specifically:

Organizational Readiness for Optimizing Conversion

Randall Wilson

Recent industry research indicates that most companies do not have a performance-driven program in place to improve their Web sites and related online marketing activities. Without such a program, a company is left with a series of gut-based, reactive site updates and the hope that site performance improves rather than declines after the launch. In contrast, leading marketing organizations are combining technology with an optimization mindset to implement effective programs that increase conversion. This session will present proven strategies that can help you break out of a traditional opinion-driven marketing culture and start building a testing-oriented online marketing organization.

Understanding how to divide your Web traffic into meaningful segments and then how to present those segments with targeted relevant content will increase conversions and improve your competitive differentiation.

Money Talks: How to Ensure Your Online Tests Drive Revenue

Brig Graff

A recent analyst survey of online marketers revealed that very few companies have active tests running on their Web sites. Fewer still are running tests that can be directly tied to their company’s bottom line.

In the absence of this knowledge, testing either never gets started or one-off tests are deployed that often end up revealing little.

Best Practices for KPI-Driven Recommendations

Kimen Field

Merchandisers are continually looking for ways to make better recommendations to visitors arriving at their sites. At the same time, customers do not want to miss out on the best buys or the most popular articles or novel items that are going to meet an impulse or need. Traditionally, recommendations have been largely manually determined by the merchandiser. There is a better way—using automated online recommendations based on key performance indicators (KPIs) to improve engagement, conversion rates and average order value (AOV). Omniture Recommendations has proven to help retailers, publishers and other online businesses substantially improve their conversion rates while offering their visitors a more relevant experience.

Proven Conversion Tactics for Online Retailers

Kevin Lindsay

According to Forrester, conversion rates for online retail currently hover around 3%. A slight improvement in conversion rates can have a dramatic impact on a retailer’s bottom line. As a result, retailers remain focused on moving the dial on this all-important metric. Optimizing conversion requires that you have a deep understanding of each step that visitors take on the path to becoming customers. From the moment customers interact with your homepage to when they finally decide to purchase, you have an opportunity to optimize their experience. First, you need to understand what’s going on at each interaction point in the customer’s experience. Second, you need to be able to act on what you learn. Optimization requires a combination of marketer and merchandiser know-how, as well as technology that makes it easy to execute effectively.

In this session, we’ll cover:

Pumping Up Conversion Using Analytics-Driven Site Search & Navigation

Mark OBrien

According to an analyst report by Forrester, one-third of all site visitors use site search before they do anything else. Two-thirds of visitors use site search as a primary form of site navigation, and nearly half of users give up after their first try due to poor results. How often are you disappointed by “no results” when you search your favorite Web site? From products to blogs, FAQs to technical documentation—most businesses have vast amounts of diverse information on their Web sites. But if your customers aren’t finding it through a great search experience, it loses value. You may be compounding the problem if you’re not taking steps to bolster the relevance of your content by integrating search with your business analytics. This session will offer strategies on how to deliver a great search experience to every visitor to your site. 

This session will present:
