You hear the name Insightbytes, it’s interesting, it’s catchy, but what does it mean? Insightbytes is a sector of Macrosoft that specializes in Analytics and produces products to the likes of MacroVStudio. All websites can benefit from programs such as Insightbytes. Insightbytes monitors all traffic coming to your website by implementing Google analytics onto your site. With the proper implementation of goals, funnels, and other key components we are able to measure activity within your website. With these metrics we are able to determine target markets and finally get some real ROI numbers to your marketing campaign. Another crucial benefit of analytics is determining the path in which traffic is attained; with this information we can determine bottlenecks and points of high bounce rates. Once evaluated this information can be used to alter web design to increase goal rates and improve overall customer satisfaction. The insight that our teams adds is not just within the knowledge of running a program but a marketing and social media expertise that leads to the ability to take action with the data we find.
Setting goals for a website is like setting goals for your life. Goals are objectives you work towards. A goal for a website defines what is important to your business, just as a goal for your life defines what is meaningful to you.
The first semester of my junior year was spent in Florence, Italy. I left in August to spend four months in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It was an amazing experience. Within a month of my arrival home it was time to ship back out to good ole TCNJ. I spent the second semester of my junior year on the third floor Eickoff Hall, one of the nicer student housing options at The College of New Jersey. It came complete with a desk, dresser, bed and in my case even windows (I was one of the lucky ones). But the best of college dorm living wouldn’t be complete without the most important thing of all, food. With a dining hall just down the stairs you would assume a majority of food consumption needs to be met, but you could not be more wrong. Ordering food becomes a ritual to most. With restaurant menus being shoved under your door daily the options are endless.

Testing a marketing campaign by rotating different versions of the creative, copy and offer/premium has been a widely used tactic since the early days of advertising. The digital revolution and market challenges of the recent years, however, put testing into a high-profile, increasingly strategic position. From the days of behind-the-scenes testing, it emerged as a mainstream phenomenon. Running the same marketing creative, copy and using same tactics and delivery methods over and over almost always proves to be a recipe for disaster in terms of response rates and eventually sales. On the other hand, the dynamics of segmentation, growing sophistication of marketing channels and more format options in the creative area complicated test designs further. So, although testing constantly has become an indispensable component of a successful marketing campaign, implementing a systematic, scientific testing strategy is still a challenge many marketers face.
