OVERALL HEALTH
Stick Rate is defined as the percent of visits that last more than one page. VSW’s May stick rate of 49% is an increase from last month’s 40%
but still is slightly lower than the industry average of 55%. The industry standard for time spent on site was around 5:35, which is higher than
the average 2:06 minutes that VSW visitors spent on the site in May. VSW site visitors viewed between 3-4 pages during their time on the site
in May, which isn’t far behind the industry average of 4.16. These engagement metrics were all an improvement compared to last month.

INDUSTRY vs. BETA
For the engagement metrics below, the Beta website performed on par or better than the Industry Average and also the Non-Beta website.
Stick Rate, the inverse of Bounce Rate, is defined as the percent of visits that consist of more than 1 pageview. According to this metric, nearly
7 out of 10 visitors to the Beta site looked at more than one page - they actually looked at 5-6 pages on average. This rate is higher than both
Non-Beta’s rate of 3.5 and Industry Average of 4.2. The Beta website engaged users to stay on the website for an average of 5 minutes, which
is very consistent with the Industry Average of 5:35 and much higher than Non-Beta’s 2:36 minutes. [Source: Adobe Digital Index 2014]

Segments within Google Analytics were created to analyze the behavior and volume of visitors to the VSW Beta website compared to the former Non-Beta website. Below are
graphs that depict the overall volume of traffic for each segment. A segment was created to filter out media driven traffic so that only true organic traffic would be shown (organic
searches, social referrals, other referrals). Segments were then created to distinguish Beta vs. Non-Beta sessions, which was dependent on the hostname associated with the visit.
The Beta and Non-Beta segments also excluded media driven traffic. Beta represented 1.5% of total non-media traffic and these visitors were highly engaged with 5-6 pages
viewed and 5 minute average durations.

BANNER ANALYSIS
!
• Banners including creative for Beach Safety (red)
brought visitors to the site who spent over 40 seconds
on average and looked at 1.5 pages during their
visits. The 320x50 size brought in the most visitors.
!
• Other creatives that had high engagement, but
relatively less volume of traffic, were for the Visitor
Guide and the Houston Direct Flight banners.
!
• Of the brand creative banners, Lose Yourself (dark
blue) had the most visitation, but engagement for all
4 categories were almost identical - 20 second
durations and 1.3 pages viewed per session.
!
• For size comparison, 300x250 brought the most
visitors to the site, in particular those for Lose
Yourself. The size that had the best engagement were
1200x628 banners - which were the Facebook
website click ads for Beach Safety and Houston Direct
Flight.

ENEWSLETTER
Both enewsletters were successful at driving higher than average open rates, as well as average or better than average click through rates. This may be attributable to new
testing being performed in which 3, content-focused subject lines were tested before deploying the leisure newsletter to the entire mailing list. This month both newsletters
had higher than average open rates and the click through rate for Sweeps was particularly high. 42% of visitors from the Leisure email traveled to the Family-Friendly Seaside
Sweeps page, 15% went to the Tips & Trips Turtle Watch article, 15% went to the Tips & Trips Take a Tour with a SW Expert article and 12% went to the Events page.

how high the interaction on the page itself is and how fast it grows. The higher the value, the better it is. This May, the Visit
South Walton page had a Page Performance Index of 18%, which is lower than last month’s average of 22%. Competitor
posting frequency (~2 times per day) and paid support are reflected in their higher PPIs.

PINTEREST
Site visits from Pinterest were significantly higher this month compared to previous months, and could be a result of the page almost doubling the
amount of other accounts the page follows (last month was 218 compared to May’s 590). During May, the VSW Pinterest page had over 1.6k average
daily impressions and 12 average daily repins. The top 3 pins according to total impressions are featured below. Two involved content about beach
weddings and the other was an article from USA Today about the 10 Least-Known Florida beaches.

RECOMMENDATION
Goal: Increase overall growth and engagement across all social channels to maximize in-market peak
season visitor experience for future repeat visitation opportunities.
!
Strategy: Optimize both paid efforts and organic messaging.
!
Tactics:
‣ Increase posting frequency to drive engagement and PPI.
‣ Increase promoted posts to address Facebook’s shifting algorithms that favor a combination of paid
and organic posts.
‣ Increase user-generated content shares for real-time, in-market promotion to demonstrate the South
Walton experience by peak season visitors.
‣ Avoid use of overly promotional content — solely pushing people to buy a product, push people to
enter a sweepstakes or promotion with no real context.
‣ While maintaining focus on growth, focus efforts heavily on engagement to influence consumer
decisions.
