LabVIEW Tools Network Metrics: New Monthly Reports

[Will_S.]

Is your product on the LabVIEW Tools Network? Then last Friday you probably saw a new email in your inbox: the March 2011 LabVIEW Tools Network Report. This is a new report that allows you to track your product's performance over time.

Currently, it includes:

• Past month's model page views
• Past month's downloads
• 6-month download history
• 6-month view history

What to Take Away From This Report

This report should give you some insight into the effect of your (and our) marketing efforts, as well as the general performance of your product. There are many factors that cause visits and downloads to change, so it is important to pay attention to the overall trends in your product performance as opposed to one specific data point. Many marketing efforts take effect over time - approximately 1-2 months.

Questions and Answers

How often will I get a report for my product?

You will receive a new report each month.

How do I request additional metrics?

Just reply to the report email with any additional metrics requests. We can't guarantee that your requested metric is available at this time, but we are planning on continuing to improve these reports. We want your feedback.

Can the same report be sent to multiple contacts?

Absolutely. Just reply to the report email with any additional contacts and we can add them to the contact list for your product.

My product is on the LabVIEW Tools Network, but I didn't receive a report. Why is that?

If your product was added to the Tools Network towards the end of the month of March, a report was not sent to you. You will receive a report at the end of April. Otherwise, just contact me at will.schoettler@ni.com and I will be happy to add you to the contact list of your product.
