October 2018 Monthly Report - Innovate New Albany | New Albany, Ohio

October 2018
01/ Communications Dashboard

During the month of October, the amount of new users, meaning people who have never been on the site, decreased by 5% since September 2018. The average session duration, which is the amount of time each user spends on the site, and the pageviews, which is the total amount of views the site received, decreased as well but only by a little. The slight decreases shouldn’t be alarming because there were more events in September than October. Naturally, those events attract more traffic, and thus a slight drop in the percentages is expected. Innovate New Albany continues to send the weekly newsletter, which contains upcoming TIGER events and blog posts, that brings traffic to the Innovate New Albany website.
