Rich Media IPhone Advertising Network Greystripe Changes the App Marketing Game with Breakthrough 99 Cent Guaranteed Download Pr

Tools

Posted November 20, 2009

Greystripe, the leading mobile brand-advertising network, is offering a 99 cents per download program to guarantee iPhone application developers downloads of their free apps. Currently the “dirty secret” of the iPhone advertising world is that developers have given up hope on mobile advertising as a way to drive downloads. The current CPC system leads to low conversions because there are a significant number of accidental clicks on banner ads that do not lead to downloads. App developers are paying as much as $10 per download with this model since they pay for every click, even those that don’t lead to downloads. Greystripe’s model has no click error because of its opt-in user experience.  Click-though rates on the Greystripe network are also significantly higher than on other networks due to their proprietary Flash ad format—the GS.ImpactDL.  Greystripe has recently run  campaigns to drive downloads for brands such as Gap, Sirius, and Axe.

 

 

Greystripe is offering 99 cents per download to publishers, with a minimum of $10,000 spend. Greystripe is able to extend this program because of their one of a kind Flash ad units, which provide extraordinary high engagement rates to drive downloads to the iPhone.

 

The new 99 cents per download program is being offered on a limited basis to the first 200 developers. Developers with existing applications through other ad networks are encouraged to participate by signing up at http://bit.ly/greystripe99.

 

“Getting app downloads has become more expensive than the app development process itself,” states Greystripe CEO Michael Chang. “We’ve heard hundreds of complaints about the current mobile advertising system and we are looking to move the needle for the App economy.”
