IndieCommerce One-on-One Sessions at Wi12

For those who can’t make the IndieCommerce Institute and those who just want more dedicated training time, the IndieCommerce staff will be offering one-on-one sessions from Saturday, January 28, through Monday, January 30, at the Winter Institute. Registration for these sessions opened December 1.

These amazing learning sessions are open to all ABA members, not just stores already using the IndieCommerce platform. Wi12 attendance is not required. Booksellers who are unsure about their schedules and don’t want to commit to a specific time slot are free to drop in and staff will try to accommodate their schedules; however, priority will be given to members who have preregistered.

Does Your Website Use the Correct Version of Google Analytics?

Google Analytics is a powerful and free reporting tool that can give IndieCommerce stores insights about where their website visitors are coming from and what they are looking at. However, booksellers should be sure that their websites are using the most current version of Google Analytics.

Also, be sure to check out this webinar by ABA tech consultant Matt Supko on how to use Google Analytics.

Booksellers are encouraged to e-mail the IndieCommerce team to share their thoughts, questions, and suggestions.
