PointRoll, a wholly owned subsidiary of Gannett Co., Inc. (NYSE: GCI - News), enables advertisers, agencies and publishers to create engaging advertising that connects with consumers by creating an interactive online environment that generates conversion.
Powering more than 70% of all rich media campaigns online, PointRoll empowers clients to deliver and measure interactive advertising while pushing the creative envelope. We work with more than 800 advertisers and our technology is accepted by thousands of online publishers, including ESPN, MSN and AOL.
PointRoll Ads provide the ability to offer promotions within an ad. Users can mouse over the ad to see if their ad impression has won them a prize. Not only can these ads be used for 'Sweepstakes' promotions, but any other 'instant win' type promotion can take advantage of this feature. Coupon-type offers can also be provided in which the user can print a coupon for an off-line product directly from within the ad.
How It Works The user simply points and rolls the mouse over the PointRoll Ad and additional messages, stating whether the user has won a prize or not, or whether they have been provided a special offer for discounts or promotional items, appear in the interactive panels.
