OVERALL HEALTH
Stick Rate is defined as the percent of visits that last more than one page. VSW’s March stick rate of 40% is slightly lower than the industry
average of 55%, and is most likely lower due to the current online media campaigns. The industry standard for time spent on site was around
5:35, which is higher than the average 1:50 minutes that VSW visitors spent on the site in March. VSW site visitors viewed between 2-3 pages
during their time on the site in March, which isn’t far behind the industry average of 4.16. These engagement metrics were almost identical to
last month’s. [Source: Adobe Digital Index 2014]

OVERALL STATS
67,696
This month, the growth of monthly Unique Visitor YoY grew by 8%, from 41% to 49%. Visitation was highest this month compared to any prior month.
Pageviews also continued to increase with a 40% growth difference compared to last year’s average amount of monthly pageviews. Despite that increases in
visitation, bounce rate continues to increase, but seems to follow a trend compared to last year. Last year however, more pages were viewed per session
starting in January, but it appears as if that is not the case this year with a 5% decrease in monthly average of pages viewed per session.

TRAFFIC SOURCES
Compared to last month as well as last year, there has been a significant increase in the share of organic search traffic. In particular, there
was a 70% increase in keywords containing “santa rosa” in addition to 140% growth of keywords containing “florida” (especially “florida
gulf beaches”). YoY there has been a decrease in share of referrals, but compared to last month there was actually an increase in referral
share. This is mostly due to Facebook traffic related to posts about a vacation package offered by Cottage Rental Agency.

The most engaged visitors in March 2015 came from Organic Searches, Direct, Email, Referrals, Social and Paid Search. Social, which has historically been a midlevel performing traffic source, was highly engaged this month and the most engaged visitors began their journeys on the site either on the Home or the Blue
Mountain page. The mid-level performer this month came from Amazon Kindle devices. On these devices, the wake screen ad appears once the user turns on their
Kindle. Users can either select the call to action button “Find Your Perfect Beach” which sent visitors to the “What Makes Your Perfect Beach” page, or users can
swipe to open their Kindle device home screen. These visitors had an average duration of nearly 2 minutes and 2-3 pages viewed during sessions. The least
engaged visitors came from Video and Display - they had bounce rates exceeding 80%, low pages viewed of 1-2 and less than 30 second visit durations.

BANNER PERFORMANCE
This graph compares the creative and sizes used for banner ad and how they performed against each other according to amount of sessions
and the engagement of banner driven traffic. The x-axis represents the amount of pages visitors viewed, the y-axis represents average duration,
and the size of the mark denotes the amount of sessions the ad brought to the site. The color of the mark represents the creative used in the
banner and the shape represents the size of the banner.
BANNER ANALYSIS
!
• The most visits (and some of the most
engagement) came from visitors who clicked
on a banner for VSW Signature Events. This
month, banners promoted the Sandestin Wine
Festival and South Walton Beaches Wine &
Food Festival.
!
• Engagement per creative was somewhat varied
this month, but size indicates a trend in relation
to engagement of visitors. The most engaged
banner visitors came from clicking on a
300x250 (circle) banner, as well as 160x600 (x)
and 728x90 (triangle). Those visitors looked at
about 1.5 pages during visits. The least and
lowest volume of visitors continue to come
from 320x50 banners (which are the mobile
banners).

PAGE PERFORMANCE
This metric is an indication of the overall performance of a fan page. The PPI shows how engaged the Facebook fans are,
how high the interaction on the page itself is and how fast it grows. The higher the value, the better it is. This March, the
Visit South Walton page had a Page Performance Index of 30%, which is higher than last month’s average of 22%. During
the month of March, Facebook underwent a follower purge in which many inactive accounts were removed. All of the pages
that had a 7% or less PPI had negative growth during March, which negatively affected overall PPI since it is combination of
growth and engagement. Visit Hilton Head had 1.6% growth, SoWal had 0.6% growth and VSW had 4% growth in followers.
