How to Accurately Track Members vs. Non-Members on your Credit Union's Website

Why Tracking Members vs. Non-Members Matters
Many credit unions wonder, "Are most of our website visitors already members?" The answer depends on your particular credit union. Knowing this is powerful for setting and measuring performance goals for your marketing campaigns.
So, how can you tell how many site visitors are members or not? Many credit unions rely on the "new and returning visitors" distinction to assess this. However, this method has major flaws.

Aligning Google Analytics With Your Inbound Marketing

Executing an effective inbound marketing requires three things: 1) patience, 2) commitment, and 3) good decision making. It could take months, or even years, to see a significant payoff from inbound marketing. This is where patience and commitment come into play. Good decision making is less straightforward. It requires a level of expertise to do the right things the right way. It also requires good data to make educated, informed decisions about what to do next.
Our Guide To Measuring Inbound Marketing showed you how to measure your inbound marketing efforts across a variety of platforms. Now it's time to go deeper. Most marketing automation platforms provide only a modest level of web analytics. This is adequate for a high-level view of what’s taking place, but it’s not enough for extensive analysis. Google Analytics is considered the gold-standard in free web analytics platforms, and it should be used in conjunction with any inbound marketing campaign. While Google Analytics provides hundreds of different reports and metrics, only a few are essential to the modern day inbound marketer.
