Social media no longer sexy
Ask any traditional marketer about her potential marketplace and she’ll bark on about demographics, age, gender and various other segmentation approaches. In fact, most marketing departments would be a little stuck without their (fixed) demographic profiling. We are starting to see a change though. As likeminded people gather around fellow likers communities have been springing [...]
A curated web experience
For some years innovative organisations and software houses have been striving to produce a neater, more contextualised web experience only to find their efforts labelled as “invasive” or “privacy breaching”. As a result terms such as behavioural targeting and personalized web are now tarnished – forever. I am fighting back. From now on I am [...]
1:1 Marketing – The future is getting personal
We laugh now but in the mid 90′s, there was this crazy notion that if you put up a web-site, any old web-site, then the money came rolling in. Even more crazy is that it worked…by the bucket load.

Why use VITES™ ?
What is wrong with the “Flat Web Society”? Lots really. Everyone gets the same experience and that just doesn’t make sense. When you have to write your copy and your site to a group called “everyone” you then have to compromise on your content, your navigation, your design and your aims for the site.
The dynamic web understands better what the visitor wants and provides a vastly improved experience, an experience that is largely personalised to the visitor and one that better matches the needs of both the web-site owner and his or her visitor…
Personalised content delivery
The “one-size fits all” web is a compromise, a general-purpose attempt to deal with all the potential combinations of types of visitors. By way of example, the benefits of creating creating custom landing pages by simple keyword groups is widely documented as hugely improving online conversion rates. Despite this, even the most savvy organisations don’t carry this any further than the first landing page and certainly look to learn from this when the visitor returns to the site. This represents a huge loss in conversion rates…
