Introducing the Wild Apricot Reports Manager

Get Wild Apricot Reports Manager

We have worked with many Wild Apricot customers over the years and one consistent complaint comes up over and over: customers want better reporting capabilities to understand more about their organization’s performance and membership demographics.

But the reporting capabilities for reporting in Wild Apricot are somewhat limited. Along side the membership summary there are only 5 reports in Wild Apricot. Wild Apricot administrators want to be able to analyze membership demographics, do cross-event reporting and trend membership data over time. Association executives also want to be able to report key performance indicators like revenue growth. When it comes time to do in-depth analysis using custom dashboards, a reporting system more powerful than Excel is required.

But why create reports at all? One reason is to help set goals. The report below shows a marked increase in traffic to NewPath Consulting’s website in 2019, which can be attributed to the number of blog posts NewPath published in 2019 and an increase in high quality external links to the website. It’s also clear that by attracting more blog traffic, that translates to more traffic to the rest of the site. Without long-term tracking of blog vs web page traffic it would be hard to know if our blogging efforts are translating to more traffic to the rest of the website. And more traffic has meant more qualified leads and business!
