Advertising/Marketing

Chamber's Community Profile ad.
Pal-Item ran a weekly ad run (1" x 1 column, twice a week) and a business card ad for the Chamber insert.
101.3/WKBV for January & February (twice a day, twice a week)
Running "WEATHER mentions" once a week, 6 times a day on KICKS96 through the end of February.
Received article in the Chamber's Pal-Item insert in January - good response.

Log Analysis for January.

Ran weekly and posted on the Members Only page. Monthly user sessions increased 25% over December 99 and page views increased 35% over December 99. January figures reflect a 196% increase over the same time last year.

1999 Yearly Figures show an outstanding 100,426 users requesting 310,586 pages. It's difficult to do a true comparison as we did not purchase the logging software until mid-February '99, but a rough estimate is that we nearly tripled our visitors/hits from the previous year.

A Policy Review Committee was established consisting of Pam Frantz, Bill O'Hara, and Renee Oldham. They will be meeting in the near future.

Jane installed the Discus software.

The meeting was adjourned. The remainder of the time was spent on the Planning Meeting.

Respectfully submitted, Tricia Shrider for Steve Reynolds, Secretary
