I've signed up to check it out. As Alex said, it's a good idea, nice design, etc.
Maybe the feature exists and I didn't spot it, but if you white labelled it so that web designers could send out branded messages to their clients as a value-add, I think you could see paid accounts pick up a bit.
Edit: OK, first email is in. Seems that I have to click a link or get an attachment - this is why I already avoid the Analytics mailed reports. Any chance you can just send the data in the email or does the API not permit it for some reason? I probably wouldn't use this going forward if I had to click through to something or open a PDF, I know that's sulky but just how it is.
You can receive pdf attachments directly, so you don't have to click on the link. Nevertheless that's not what you're looking for, I guess ;)
We thought about putting the data directly into an email, but the crappy HTML/CSS support in the gazillion email clients, make this a pretty tough job.
Yeah, I think Analytics does PDFs from memory and I cancelled all of those.
Can appreciate the frustration with HTML/CSS support - maybe if you kept your layout really simple and/or called it an Old School theme. Mostly I'd be looking for anything that quickly showed me if there was something wrong with a site (or right, e.g., major incoming link).
Wonder if you can throw in some marketing factoids like "Fourth straight month with an increase in traffic" or "Traffic growth continues; fourth straight month" - the sorts of things a marketing guy can repeat to the boss without any more time or research.
I haven't used your product so I may be saying nonsense, but why don't you also embed an image created from the PDF? HTML support may be crappy, but as far as I know most of them support images.
