4. Imbee - Safety First
For security and COPPA compliance, Imbee requires identity authentication via a credit card from a parent or a teacher. Once
a parent authorizes a userʼs account, the user will have full access to the features on the site. From there, Imbee has built-in
security settings that allow the parent to set age-appropriate parameters related to the userʼs online activities.
• Imbee is the 1st secure social networking site for kids.
• Imbee is different from other social networking sites because it is
designed for kids, and every kid account needs a verified parent account
attached to their account
• Parent accounts are verified by a $1 charge to their credit card the same
method used by the United States Post Office to verify the identity in
change of address requests.
• Imbee also works closely with CARU (Children's Advertising Review
United) to make sure Imbee follows the federal regulations for COPPA
(Children's Online Privacy Protection Act).
• With people joining social networks every day, Imbee is proud to be a
safe social network destination for kids!

11. Targeting Tweens before they can buy a product is a tactic that more
marketers are exploring. By integrating your products within Imbee,
you're establishing brand presence and positive association.
Toyota quietly began a virtual
promotion of Scion: it paid for the car's
product placement in Whyville.net, an
online interactive community populated
almost entirely by 8- to 15-year-olds.
Scion is counting on two things —
influence their parents' car purchases
and maybe grow up with some Toyota
brand loyalty.
Retailers like Staples and Office Depot
are pitching high school juniors and
seniors about products that they will
buy in college.
