The document discusses using social gaming and virtual goods as a way for advertisers to engage consumers. It notes that advertisers currently pay for limited eyeball opportunities through traditional ads. The summary proposes using social gaming to provide advertisers value through deeper consumer engagement with brands. Advertisers could provide virtual currency or goods to gamers in exchange for interactions like watching videos, completing surveys, or sharing on social media. This engagement would be more valuable to both advertisers and gamers compared to traditional ads. TrialPay's platform allows placing such offers and sponsorships within social games to drive these new forms of engagement and acquisition.
2. Will you remember these brands by the end of session?
Up to $5K per bus, CPM? As low as $1000 to $3MM for 30 seconds
$30 CPM for Superbowl
Did I mention it cost $375K to produce the commercial?
USA Today $50K ad cost with 2MM circulation - $25 CPM
• Advertiser provides content/transport company value but limited value to the consumer
• Paying for eyeball opportunity only.
• Engagement would be nice too!
• Leads or sales would be a plus!

20. Things to think about:
1 Identify the types of games in which your
brand or product can be naturally
integrated.
2 Offer players an incentive for the
engagement (ex: virtual currency or
virtual items).
3 Create a sense of urgency by
offering the branded content or
promotion for a limited time.
