Digital Analytics November 2019 Board Report header image

DIGITAL ANALYTICS

The Digital Marketing team is continuing to optimize the digital presence of the destination through online channels, including the website and email. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are now being segmented by desktop and mobile users, as these segments behave differently in the digital landscape. The team is also continuing to move forward with a website redesign, scheduled to launch in August 2020.

    Website Redesign
    The website redesign is continuing to move forward with an expected launch in summer of 2020. In October, the CVB hosted the Simpleview web development team for an immersion throughout the destination. This two-day visit helped the development team better understand the destination and its unique selling points, which will then be brought to life in the new website design.

    New site navigation and page layouts will be presented and approved by the end of the calendar year. The new digital style guide and creative design will be presented to the CVB for approval in early 2020.

  • Email

    Act-on is continuing to manage the CVB’s email marketing for both the consumer and dineGPS newsletters. In October, the email strategy included automation emails that sent a follow-up email to engaged users who interacted with the initial email. The CVB will continue to use marketing automation to target engaged users with additional travel information to increase their likelihood to visit.
