Hey Everyone,

Do you know that it’s possible to do a text overlay on your Whichit images? You can decide between different fonts and colours too.
You have many options to make your Whichit perfect:

1. You can overlay your picture with a transparent background colour for example to make sure that your text is perfectly legible. Or if you just want a moody, sunny or rose tinted feeling.

Hey there,

Great news! We’ve released two brand new features; you’re now able to create a Whichit Carousel as well as a Whichit Survey super easily all by yourself!

Whichit Carousel

The Whichit Carousel is a single embedded Whichit Post, which will be automatically changed if the customer is visiting your page again or if the page is refreshed. That means that you can deliver multiple Whichit Posts by using just one embed code.

How?
Go to your Whichit Home Page, click on ‘Create’ and choose ‘Carousel’. You will be asked to choose the single Whichit Posts you want to integrate in the Carousel, which you have created earlier.

Whichit Survey

The Whichit Survey allows you to deliver multiple questions in an interactive image based Whichit. So, you get to ask your audience the really important questions you want to know the answers to… or something fun to engage with them. Based on how they answer you can segment your audience by their preferences and automatically serve them the correct commercial message. (You can also use our new software integrations to help you retarget them through your different channels!)

How?
Go to your Whichit Home Page, click on ‘Create’ and choose ‘Survey’. You will be asked to choose the single Whichit Posts you want to integrate into the Survey, which you have created before. Afterwards you’re able to choose your Engage Card in the normal way. That’s it, done!

That sounds great, doesn’t it? It’s super quick and easy and you can find out so much information about your audience!

The proof of the pudding is in the eating, so go for it!

 

Stay tuned,

Our New Analytics Dashboard Has Been Released

Hi everyone,

If you’ve ever run a marketing campaign, one of the biggest pain points is understanding what you can develop next time in order to improve your communications. It all boils down to understanding your audience while communicating in a manner that relates to them.

Over the past 9 months, we have piloted Whichit with publishers, brands and media agencies, all of whom created highly engaging Whichit posts like these. Whichit is not only a visual, engaging post; when users vote on a Whichit, they are actually stating a personal preference.

One request we’ve received from our customers was to help them learn more about their audience’s preferences. This is why we are super proud to introduce our analytics dashboard:

 
interactive marketing campaigns
 

Now you can visually see your audiences’ preferences, download the data to excel and gain consumer behaviour insights directly from your content.  
 

So, what information is available for you on our new Whichit dashboard?

  • Your Activity graph: presents unique views, number of votes and your calculated engagement rate.
  • Traffic referrals table: reports visits to webpages on which your Whichit Post has been embedded.
  • Completion rate funnel shows the user flows from the number of unique views to the commercial Call-to-Action clicks.
  • Votes geography: presents where your votes came from on a map.

If you’re already a Whichit user, check it out now - simply head over to the home page and click “View statistics” on any of your Whichit Posts.

If you don’t have a Whichit account yet, try it now: free for one month!


Until next time,
The Whichit team

It was a great honor to be shortlisted and a wonderful experience to be up close with the movers and shakers of our industry. There were serial entrepreneurs, angels, VCs, start-ups as well as accelerators, advisors and the rest of the support networks that make the UK such a vibrant start-up ecosystem.

We had a chance to mingle with some fellow start-ups and some investors. Most importantly, we were impressed with the calibre of the award winners and nominees. It was great to see companies that were once small start-ups, and are now massive, global companies.
