Before I began working with Saffire, I was just your average website user spending too much time online shopping and playing on Facebook.
When I joined the team, I realized just how much thought and effort went in to making sure customers were going where businesses wanted on a site and completing the tasks they desired.
And I noticed, I had been “following the leader” without even knowing it! (I’m a true sucker for marketing, but we can discuss my home shopping network habits another time.)
To say I was stunned by the tracking and reporting taking place would be an understatement, but as I took time to study the reports I realized there is so much information you can gain for future improvements by simply paying attention to the habits of your customers.
In order to get the most of your site and continue to enhance your online presence, ensure your site is meeting its goals by utilizing tools like Google Analytics. This is a full- featured, FREE program you should be taking advantage of no matter how big or small your website may be.
Here’s a quick list of Analytics features:
- Setting goals specific to your website and tracking the progress
- Ecommerce statistics
- Watch how people get to your website and how long they stay

It may sound too good to be true, but lucky for you it’s as real as can be.
