Metrics

Matt O.- I am going to do something different. at the beginning of every month i am going to give a little update on how our metrics are going.


Matt goes over his presentation "December 2013 Metrics Update"

Website visitors, Bounce Rate, 3207 visitors in September, Reach is a metric of how many people our brand is reaching out to, people viewing our page because of someone who has tagged i3 thru facebook.

We went in the wrong direction for the month of November. Our goal by Sept 1, 2014 -- 7992 i3Detroit.org vixitors, 796 Facebook average reach.

everyone checks in on facebook. Except for NAte B. Because he does not have a facebook.

Cart Committee

Terry W-- sometimes we don't have carts for certain locations. Projects are left drying on it, and carts are not available for their proper use. We have 6 carts Handout each cart has been given a location. This is a proposal of where the carts should live.

Nate B thinks this is a bad idea and that the carts should just be treated the same as the tables.

There are many strong feelings about where the trophy case should be placed!

This has been tabled until the next board meeting
