As Head of Product, Steve is in charge of making sure Artrepreneur delivers the most comprehensive set of solutions for its artist members in order to help them succeed. He loves to interact with his team and partners, and is constantly on the phone with them strategizing on ways to grow the business.

The most important part of his day involves monitoring the creative works coming in. Steve loves helping Artrepreneur members show off their work in better ways, while also constantly figuring new out ways to get Artrepreneur’s offerings to as many different artists as possible.

Taking Google Analytics marketing performance reports to the next level

Before launching Klipfolio at Artrepreneur, marketing reporting efforts at the company were limited to Google Analytics.

“We used google analytics and pulled info from our database, but that process was cumbersome and we had to repeat our efforts 3 to 4 times a month.”

Steve was constantly having to bug his CTO to pull essential data sets out of Google Analytics which became a chore.

“Now that we have started using Klipfolio, our metrics are monitored throughout the day in real-time, all in one place.”

Steve researched a number of dashboard solutions and decided on Klipfolio because of its comprehensive ways that data can be displayed in one view, pulling from multiple popular marketing and social media data sources.

“We really like the layout design in Klipfolio and it’s power and flexibility, too. We all sign in to Klipfolio daily and conduct regular meetings with deep data dives to better understand our business.”

Monitoring the right marketing and product metrics

Honing in on the right marketing and product metrics is an important task. The goal is to identify a specific group of metrics that inspire action and tell a story that you can use to improve business.

Popular marketing metrics include:

Traffic Channels

Sessions

Campaign Clicks

Page Engagement

Campaign Reach

And more...

By connecting to Google Analytics and Facebook, Steve has easily set up visualizations in a powerful Klipfolio dashboard that reveals essential marketing data.

Steve has also connected to the Artrepreneur database showing his product metrics like ‘new members’ and ‘artwork uploads’.

Data-driven organizations win big by saving time and making better decisions

“Klipfolio saves us time, promotes transparency, helps us make quick decisions and drives our growth plans by optimizing our marketing and product conversion rates. Having our data updated and displayed in real-time is a game changer!”
