What We Do

The web gives consumers the opportunity to find answers to their questions, solutions to their problems, and products for their needs. Businesses that don't provide results to these consumers will instantly be deemed inadequate. Fused Interactive will help your business turn consumers into buyers. We build strategies after spending long hours learning the ins and outs of your business. We craft ideas and design messages while posing as uneducated, potential customers. We execute our strategies using the latest technology. We help drive web traffic with online and offline advertising. We engage consumers by creating interactive tools that help them make purchasing decisions. And, we help you measure the success of our efforts.

    Unmeasured Metric: Presence Quality

    I am often asked why a website’s bounce rate has increased or why the amount of time users spend on a website has decreased. “Is it because our online advertising efforts are attracting too many misguided visitors?” It is possible. But first, you need to analyze your site from the consumer’s point of view.

    Let’s pretend your website is a physical storefront. Pretend you’re spending a lot of money on traditional advertising and are seeing a great increase in foot traffic. Now look around your store – remember we’re playing pretend here. If your store is messy, people will leave. If…

    Unmeasured Metric: Presence Quality

    By Brian Brua

    I am often asked why a website’s bounce rate has increased or why the amount of time users spend on a website has decreased. “Is it because our online advertising efforts are attracting too many misguided visitors?” It is possible. But first, you need to analyze your site from the consumer’s point of view.

    Let’s pretend your website is a physical storefront. Pretend you’re spending a lot of money on traditional advertising and are seeing a great increase in foot traffic. Now look around your store – remember we’re playing pretend here. If your store is messy, people will leave. If your store is hard to navigate, people will leave. If you’ve had the exact same products on the shelf for the last 6 months, people will stop returning. Now relate that idea to your website. Is your website’s content cluttered and hard to navigate? Have you had the same homepage banner for the last two years? Have you made any effort to create fresh content that interests consumers in your industry? Jumping to the conclusion that you’re reaching the wrong people through your advertising is a mistake. The consumers are seeing your website, you just need to make a more memorable impression.

    Give consumers a reason to vist your website. Give them something to interact with, something to respond to, something to make a decision about. Challenge their mind. Let them get creative. Let them see something from a new angle or a different point of view. And most importantly, keep presenting them with new opportunities, new content, and an easy browsing experience. The next time you consider low “visitor quality” as the culprit to your weakening analytics numbers, be sure to double check your site’s presence quality. Look at your site from the customer’s perspective and ask yourself, “does it interest you enough to keep visiting?” If not, it’s time to brainstorm. Give us a shout when you have some ideas, or if you need ideas – we’re ready to help.

    Launch Party for Slydog Skis

    The fellas at Slydog came to us with a few problems that needed solutions. First, they mold over nine thousand different color and style combinations of snowmobile skis. Second, they only had pictures of a few of these several thousand skis. And third, their customers want to buy these custom skis but have no way of seeing what they’re buying. After about a month of meetings, discussions, brainstorm sessions and research, we devised a plan and began execution. We’re excited to finally show it off the result of all our work. So without further explanation, try building a ski of your own!
