e’re always excited when our users write about us as well as the press. As a startup it’s not easy. This past week we got both!
Stalwart Communications wrote about us in their post My Latest PR Tool Obsession: Dasheroo. Thanks Alyson Jamison and Stalwart!
Then Website Magazine posted Track Key Pinterest Analytics with Dasheroo. You guys rock.
We got Pinterest out into the wild, so if you’re an avid pinner for your business you’re going to love the Pinterest analytics we’re giving you to track on your dashboard. Check out all that we’re offering here! Along with Pinterest we were able to also release a bunch o’ awesome stuff:
New Email Marketing Dashboard Insights
Now you can track email subscriber growth for each list in your account for: Campaign Monitor, VerticalResponse, AWeber, Emma, Mailchimp, Constant Contact and Get Response.
New Google Analytics Campaign Insights
We dove back into Google Analytics and created a few more insights for Campaigns that users were asking for.
We also fixed a few bugs that hopefully you didn’t see so I won’t list them!
What else is going on? Isn’t that enough? No.
So we’re in Austin today. So far the co-founders got together for the first part of the Mind Meld yesterday
, today the whole team is together. We’re going to share a bunch of data with the team, then go out and have some fun in this amazing city. Watch out Austin, I’ll post some pix to Instagram. Love this town. Oh, Uchiko, here we come, that’s right, land-locked sushi, but it’s the best ever!
One more thing we’re pretty excited about on the food train, James went to school with the Thomas who started Republic of the Sandwich in Austin, yep, we got takeout. If you’re in Austin it’s awesome, check them out!
Janine wrote some killer articles for Inc.com this week, Want to Get to SEO Perfection? It’s Time to Revisit Your Keywords! and Stop Wasting Time-5 Important Tasks To Outsource to a Virtual Assistant.
We got amazing mentions in Bill Brelsford’s blog for his marketing consultancy Rebar Business Builders entitled Getting The Most Out of Your Dashboard and we’re pretty stoked about it. He’s a great person who knows more than a thing or two about helping business grow by analyzing business analytics. Thanks Bill!
Ok, time to get back to the meeting! – John
Dasheroo’s sessions spiked last week!
We had a huge end of the week last week when we got features on Entrepreneur Magazine in an article written by Matthew Toren, 7 Tools That Can Help You Rapidly Grow and Automate Your Business! It is the gift that keeps on giving, 3-4 days later we’re still getting awesome traffic from it. Thank you!!
We had a kerfluffle with our Android app, people couldn’t download it. It’s since been fixed so if you want to check it out the download is free. We also now have an iOS app free to download as well. No kerfluffle there.
We’re getting really close with our Pinterest Analytics dashboard release. It also comes with a host of other features including being able to track your email subscriber growth by list with all of our popular email marketing dashboard integrations. This release is names “i18”. Why the “i” you ask?
How We Think About Releases
I’m glad you asked! Just so you understand how we release here at Dasheroo we break our release focus into two paths; one is for pure “integrations” (the reason for the “i”); those are new insights or integrations with new apps for you to add to your dashboards. The other is a “platform” release. (I’m shooting for “p” don’t you think that makes sense?) This is our “infrastructure” or anything that supports all of your insights and dashboards. This would include features across all accounts, insights and dashboards like the ability to comment and collaborate, billing, any feature under “settings” or the ability for you to resize or rearrange your data dashboard. Just wanted to clue you in there.
Getting Out There!
We attended LAUNCH Scale and it was awesome. Such great speakers speaking like, David Sacks, Yammer and Zenefits, Sonny Mayugba, Requested, Peter Bell, Wheelhouse.io, Jacqui Boland, Red Tricycle and all of the speakers who had to get their message across in a 20-minute session!
Team Dasheroo at LAUNCH Scale 2015 in the Demo Pit.
We’re in the process of nailing down each and every KPI we need to track in our conversion funnel, what they actually mean, make sure they mean the same thing to all of us and make sure we’re tracking the right data. That’s a hard problem to solve but we think we’re finally there.
We got a bunch of great leads from OneCon, Constant Contact’s partner event, so Mimi’s been working those. Alvaro is working the LAUNCH Scale leads from the SF show this week. It was great!
We’ve got a Mind Meld in Austin next week, look for pictures, then entire team will be there and we’ll be bonding.
We 
were so excited and proud that Dasheroo was nominated to host a demo table at LAUNCH Scale as a Top 100 company most likely to scale! Holy Moly! We’re even happier to be invited to the Top 100 Demo Pit!! If you’re in San Francisco today or Wednesday (sorry for the short notice!) you should go to this event! Stop by and say hi to Josh or Alf.
Back to Scaling…
We are ready for Q4 I tell ya. We’re tracking our numbers for the early part of Q4 and it’s looking good as far as website visits, converted leads and new customers finding value in what we provide (i.e. paying us!) Onward and upward as they say.
New Stuff We’re Working On…
We’ve been working on a few new integrations like Pinterest. It’s not been easy and it’s our #1 requested integration but they recently opened up their API to give us data for your Pinterest analytics. So they’re up next!
For Pinterest you’ll be able to track business metrics like:
For all email marketing providers like VerticalResponse, Campaign Monitor, AWeber, Emma, Constant Contact, Mail Chimp and Get Response you’ll now be able to track growth broken out by each subscriber list.
Alerts (we had to put this feature on hold for a bit but it’s back!) – You’ll soon be able to set an alert when a threshold is met on a KPI you track in your dashboard. For instance if you want to know the minute you hit 100 Likes on a given day on your Facebook page you’ll get an email!
We continue to work on our Partner program administrative functionality which we’d like to release soon. So if you’re an agency or you manage a larger team of people and you need controls over who sees what data, we’ve got you covered.
Our co-founder James developed the coolest way to export your data into a PDF. He’s calling it Drone and soon we’re gong to release it to all of our users and he’s going to release it as an open source application to the developer community. We’re pretty happy about that for many, many, many reasons!
Now back to work and back to LAUNCH Scale!
