We’re approaching the busy season, when orders start flowing into your website. As a lover of data, I wanted to start sharing some of my favorite custom reports and dashboards for Google Analytics with you. The basic reports in analytics provide good data, but to gain real insights you must use custom reports and dashboards, which allow you to combine custom traffic segments and dimensions in unlimited ways. Luckily, Google lets us share these reports, so you don't have to do any work. Just sign into your Google Analytics account and load the report into your profile.

Today, wineries are able to legally ship directly to consumers in 38 of the United States. However, it was not always this way. In fact, consumers were unable to buy wine direct from wineries until the regulation of the direct to consumer shipping movement, which started about seven years ago. But why was it so difficult for so long to ship to wineries? How did the systems evolve to allow for these changes to take place? It all started with Prohibition…

Everyone is saying that sending out promotional (especially targeted) emails is a good way to increase sales. (Including us, we’re no fools.)

However, in order for your email to actually let you rake in the money, it has to be correct. Amazing, but true! And so many promotional emails are done without thought, without care, without results.

Most businesses have a Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ profile by now. If that's where your brand's presence ends, you're ignoring some untapped resources for traffic and exposure.

Almost every week, we release a new website or a redesign of an existing customer. All too often, I see the same mistakes made, usually in the name of preserving some sort of "brand identity".

So when the time comes to refresh your website, consider reshaping it to include enough text on the homepage, a blog, a page for your awards, recipes, videos, social widgets, and other noteworthy and relevant topics.
