Slice subscribers have access to a fantastic 'test' function, that allows you to see brief summaries of the news for the past 30 days based, on a specific search.
This feature was originally designed as a guide to test how accurate your search string is for a given tracking folder. Doing a test before you save a tracking folder helps decrease the likelihood of irrelevant news being delivered to your tracking folder once it is saved and running in live environment.
But have you thought about using it simply as a research tool - a way to take a sneak peek at what happened in the last 30 days? 'Test' will allow you to do a quick and dirty search on your competitors, industry thought leaders, key spokespeople and past campaigns. What about doing a quick 'test' to see how the brands and potential business that you are trying to win have performed recently? Why not investigate industry issues, potential employers, evolving trends?
To do a 'test' simply:
- Login to slicemedia.com
- Go to My subscription > Tracking folders
- Select the 'Add new folder' folder button
- Enter in your search string, select your media scope
- Go to Step 5 and hit 'test' and you're on your way
The 'test' function gives you a brief window into the past, so you can be on track in the future.
