Alas, when it comes to tapping into the power of modeling and predictive analytics to improve our acquisition results, all this ‘business-as-usual’ chatter adds up to a big lump of stupidity. In business, predictive analytics – and the term encompasses a wide variety of statistical techniques from modeling to data mining and machine learning — exploit patterns found in historical and transactional data to identify risks and opportunities.

Google Analytics are an an incredibly easy and cheap (no cost, beyond your time) way to evaluate what’s working best on your website and blog by measuring user behavior. But here’s the problem — I bet most of you (both nonprofit communicators and fundraisers) don’t use analytics data, even if the tool is set up. That means 1/3 of you don’t think website analytics are not important to your work.

According to Target Analytics , the 81 organizations it tracks had essentially flat revenue and donor growth from the first half of 2009 to the first half of 2010. It’s hardly breaking news, but this is a tough time to raise money. Fundraising, like our economy, is stalled. Giving is not growing - except online. Religious groups are faring okay but the the arts/cultural and health sectors are seriously hurting. My friends at the Agitator did a nice job analyzing the report here.
