Social Apps publishers – you’ve never
                   had it so good!

Your three main Revenue Streams:

1. Virtual Currency Monetisation:
    o Direct Payments
    o Offers
2. Display advertising & text links
3. Email (potential new stream)




                             © 2010 KITN Media :: All Rights Reserved
Virtual Currency example: Bubbletown


                      Virtual Currency is a
                      ‘keeping score’ mechanism
                      within your game.


                      Users earn points by:
                      o Playing the game
                      o Buying points (with real
                      money)
                      Or
                      o Completing an
                      action/offer for an
                      advertiser who pays for
                      their points.
Virtual Currency: Direct Payments



                  o Collections are worldwide

                  o Pay with Paypal, Mobile and a
                  myriad of other payment options

                  o Fraud detection

                  o Gaming advisory team help on
                  design, features & how best to
                  manage your virtual economy
Virtual Currency: Offers

Advertiser landscape is changing
rapidly:
Offers: CPI & Video income increasing
eCPM’s for app developers:

So, what’s new...?
Black Listing: Our offer Management
                       Console

• Balance user experience vs monetization
    – Restricts offers being presented to
       ensure strongest user experience,
       highest quality fulfillment and
       Publisher brand protection
• Offers transparency and visibility into ad
  inventory.
• Ability to control and select which offers
  or offer categories are active and
  inactive:
    – Pre-filtered levels of appropriate
       offers
    – Full inventory classification /
       categorization
    – Populated list of highest revenue
       generating items
Facebook compliance: not optional!

• White listing tool embedded within SR
  management console
• Unprecedented transparency and
  control to choose which offers are
  shown to which user base
• Allows developer control to establish a
  set of offers to run on their wall(s)
• Offers can be ranked and sorted on
  various attributes – title, brand,
  category etc
• Build an offer wall that suits your users’
  needs
Customization – key to ‘feel good
factor’

Summary:

o Brands want access to Social users - worldwide

o Virtual Currency should be at the centre of
  your monetisation strategy

o Make sure you stay FB compliant!

o Display advertising – still growing. Works
  better when used in conjunction with VC.

o Email – a potential new revenue stream for
  social developers with US email lists.
