FireTracker Analytics now offering fully funtional Free trial

Sunday, June 13th, 2010

FireTracker Analytics, our  in-house web traffic analytics software has been some time in beta and we are now glad  to deliver a much more refined product.  There is still some work to do but our recent server and infrastructure upgrade has given us more to work with and an improved user experience.

I hear you asking, why would I pay for an analytics service when Google Analytics is free? There are numerous reasons to add FireTracker to your web traffic analytics arsenal, first and foremost it is a lot more user-centric and user friendly, providing an unparalelled clarity in gaining essential insights into your traffic sources without delving through the bloatware and complexity that is inherent in Google Analytics.  But thats only for starters, the single greatest reason to adopt this alternative is the availability of real-time reporting, no need to wait 3 hours or longer for data refreshes; you will see traffic data to your site as it happens - immediately - no waiting!

Free Trial and new subscription options

We have now implemented a free trial by popular demand for those who wish to take a peek at the reporting capabilities without committing to buy.  The free version is fully functional, only takes two minutes to sign-up, but there’s no such thing as a free lunch so tracking data is reset daily only offered reporting data on a rolling day to day basis.

Subscriptions start at a very reasonable rate from €14.99/month with the first week free, or an annual subscription for €149.99 with the first month costing only €4.99.

Social Media Marketing Seminar

Friday, December 4th, 2009

We are organising a Social Media Marketing seminar for the new year.  Firstly we would like to guage interest and see if their is sufficient demand before setting a date and venue.

Social Media has erupted in the last two years, the power to directly engage and get feedback from your customer base is now a reality.  A social media campaign can be launched to promote your business and build your brand, even if you do not have a company website.  The great advantage of social media is its viral nature and how quickly word spreads.

The seminar will include coverage of business use for Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube.  This will include setting up accounts with these services.  We will then demonstate how to go about posting to these sites and where and how to locate information to post, we will also present strategies for gaining a following and encouraging interaction with your client base.

Many businesses find Social Media a bit overwhelming and often struggle to gain ground and exposure, our goal is to ease people into these services so that they know the tips and tricks to further their reach online.

If you are interested in attending this event please get in touch by email, phone or DM @bluestarweb on twitter. Places will be limited to 30 people.  Given that there will be sufficient demand we are aiming to host this event mid-end Janurary.
