Digging Deeper:
Justifying Your Web 2.0 Investment


Eric RicksonIt's safe to say that Web 2.0 media has passed the "flavor of the month" test within most marketing departments. Now, in today's tight economy, the "budget cut of the month" test is the one that matters most, as corporate belt-tighteners scrutinize growing investments in rich, interactive online marketing.

Popular Summer Lunch & Learn Webcasts Available On Demand
WebTrends Summer Lunch & LearnThe latest Batman and Indiana Jones sagas may be the real box-office champions this summer, but the WebTrends Summer Lunch & Learn webinar series has packed in some sizable audiences as well. More than a thousand people have signed up for the first four installments, with nary a special effect or big-name movie star to help boost attendance (apologies to our expert presenter Sean Browning).

The seven-part series, which began earlier this month and runs through the end of September, has provided an introduction to the new and enhanced features in WebTrends Analytics 8.5, including new Web 2.0 reports, drag-and-drop calculated measures and administrative controls of user roles and groups. Each live seminar also features an overview the entire WebTrends Marketing Lab family of online marketing solutions.

Unlike those summer box-office hits, the Summer Lunch & Learn webinars won't go into hibernation once the kids head back to school. On-demand versions are available for each of the webinars.
