With the frenetic pace of fluctuating consumer trends, an ability to keep up (and ideally, predict) changes is paramount. Analytics allow you to identify not only the return on investment (ROI) of the individual marketing campaigns within your strategy but also how each campaign performs against the others. This will help guide future decisions and help you identify trends to capitalise on.
So which analytics tool is best for your business? We’ve put together a list of the top 10 analytics tools to help you decide.

Custom reports can be built in a matter of minutes.
2. Clicky
