Knowing how to use and implement analytics can either make or break a company and its potential for success. To start with, analytics is defined as data gathered from the activities of users on the page. These statistics are used by brands to gain a better understanding of their brand image and engagement on various platforms.
Slowly but surely, the use of these analytics is proving to be extremely useful for digital marketers. For example, a fashion house studies its analytics on Instagram and finds out its videos are the most popular content form on its page. Using this, they may choose to engage more and more customers through their videos, the marketing team may amp up other content types on their page (for better outreach.)
