Shoebuy.com Facebook Credits Marketing Campaign Boosts Online Advertising and Drives Word of Mouth

Tuesday, August 16th, 2011


Menlo Park, CA (PRWEB) December 16, 2010

The drumbeat of virtual goods marketing in e-commerce continues. Ifeelgoods, Inc., a new company launched in September 2010, which helps retailers use virtual goods as incentives, announced today that Shoebuy.com, which was the first retailer to offer Facebook Credits as an incentive on an e-commerce site, is reporting promising results. The Golf Warehouse, online golf superstore and a premier Redcats sporting goods brand, is the next online retailer to launch a similar program.

In a campaign that began shortly before Thanksgiving, Shoebuy.com advertises an offer whereby participating shoppers can receive 50 free Facebook Credits with a purchase on Shoebuy.com. Shoppers can also go directly to http://www.shoebuy.com/credits to participate.

?Offering Facebook Credits as an incentive has added fun to the shopping experience for our customers and improved our online advertising performance,? said Shoebuy.com Chief Marketing Officer James Keller. ?The Facebook credits incentive has created a lot of great buzz and, in side-by-side tests, the number of people clicking online ads that mention the Facebook Credits incentive is double what we are seeing otherwise. And, nearly half of the customers that have participated in a Facebook Credits promotion have shared their excitement with their friends on Facebook.?

Yesterday, The Golf Warehouse (http://www.tgw.com) began offering Facebook Credits for purchases of gift cards. The offer will continue through the rest of the holiday season and into 2011.

?When our customers participate in the Facebook Credits promotion, they will receive something ?extra? they won?t get anywhere else which makes their gift-giving even more special,? said Brad Wolansky, CEO of The Golf Warehouse. ?It?s just another great reason for customers to shop online at TGW.com ? The Golf Warehouse.?

Online Games like FrontierVille and StarCraft 2 Show Extraordinary Growth in Bad Economic Times

Sunday, August 14th, 2011


New York, NY (PRWEB) September 10, 2010

Maybe the bad economy has helped online social games like FrontierVille because people need a cheaper form of entertainment. Maybe Starcraft 2 provides the escapist relief in this Great Recession that movies did during The Great Depression. In any event, the extraordinary growth in the global video game software market should remain strong in the coming years with revenues expected to climb from over $ 46 billion in 2009 to over $ 64 billion in 2013. And as these game audiences grow, a separate market for game related items, not affiliated with the game developers, is blossoming for much smaller independent game guide companies featuring things like Frontierville tips and Starcraft 2 strategies among others.These non-affiliated independent products represent a separate but significant industry for game strategy and tips guides.

Zynga, the company which created Farmville, Mafia Wars and the latest hit FrontierVille gives their games away free and makes their money selling add-on products. This business model has made them the one of the hottest companies in Silicon Valley. And the overall success of online games and social games has spurred on small companies not affiliated with the game developers selling strategy books and tip guides such as Frontierville Secrets or Starcraft 2 Secrets just to name a few.

Presently, 20% of the US population plays social games such as FrontierVille. These so-called Facebook games keep getting bigger by the day. Zynga?s newest game sensation FrontierVille has already surpassed 30 million regular players and that game has only been out since June 2010. Zynga says 215 million people play its games every month. Zynga?s games include mega hits like Farmville, Mafia Wars, Texas HoldEm Poker and the previously mentioned new hit sensation Frontierville. Yet Zynga is only 3 years old having started in 2007. Zynga games and others have probably helped fuel the incredible growth of Facebook, which now has over 400 million users. According to the company, Developer Analytics, more than 65 million people play Zynga games each day. Zynga’s biggest hit to date is played by an estimated 75 million people each month and Zynga says a total of 215 million people play its games every month. Zynga games are huge on Facebook and Facebook Games are a huge driver of traffic and popularity on Facebook.

Here are some social game industry facts:

Gamers are made up of 53% females and 47% males.
The total US social gaming audience totals 56.8 million people.
In the case of Zynga games, the actual game is often free, but money is spent on in-game items from the company itself and on outside items from non-affiliated companies, such as on the websites FrontierVille-Secrets.com and Starcraft2-Secrets.com
A typical gamer is a 30 to 50 year old mother.
Another big success is the recently released StarCraft II Wings of Liberty by Blizzard Entertainment which was released in late July 2010. Starcraft 2 is a sequel to the original StarCraft from 1998. Starcraft II from Blizzard Entertainment is a confirmed blockbuster. On its first day of release, Starcraft II sold 1 million copies. And that does not include South Korea where Starcraft is huge and is a televised sport. By September 1st sales reached over 3 million games, making it one of the fastest growing games ever.

So, in the 19302s during the Great Depression, people found some escape from the grim realities of the day by going to the movies. Today it looks like internet gaming has replaced movies as the means of escape during this ?recession? (which many observers think could be re-labeled a depression down the road) especially since movies are so expensive these days.

And if you haven’t heard, even Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Enterprises is getting in on the action with plans to launch a line of video games by the end of 2010.

American Original Breaks Into The Social Networking Online Gaming Business with Sports Entertainment Icon Paul Heyman

Wednesday, August 10th, 2011

Hollywood, California (PRWEB) July 27, 2010

American Original founder Jeff Katz announced at Comic-Con over the weekend he was moving the company into the lucrative online gaming business, as American Original will produce an inter-sport fighting game based on the global success of titles like Mafia Wars and Farmville.

“In looking at the landscape it was clear there was demand from the combined fighting and gaming audience for MMA, pro wrestling and boxing games,” Katz stated, “Instead of settling on one fighting form we decided that there was an extraordinary opportunity in front of us to combine the three disciplines and create a radical new game that could serve that entire audience.”

Partnering with Katz is Paul Heyman, whose tenures as owner and Head of Creative at the ECW Extreme Championship Wrestling group and Head Writer for WWE Smackdown under Vince McMahon were met with enormous critical praise. Heyman, who is also co-founder of Looking For Larry Productions in New York (parent to his “Heyman Hustle” http://www.heymanhustle.com pop culture website), sees an opportunity with this venture he has long been seeking. “We’re always looking for new frontiers,” Heyman stated from L4L’s New York office, “this is a social networking APP, a sports game, and fantasy play all rolled into one sexy, enticing package. The proof is not going to be in the pre-hype. When we launch this game in 4th quarter, the proof will be in the game itself, or it simply won’t be. We’ve placed a well-educated bet on the designers and the potential to implement this game on a broad basis.”

Gamers will be able to create their own custom fighters in any of the three disciplines, leading their character from the bottom of the rankings all the way to championship gold. With each victory comes further customization options, moves, attributes and unlockable features. As an added bonus, users will also be able to play mixed matches, pitting wrestlers against MMA stars, MMA stars against boxers and so on. Additionally, downloadable content featuring a host of star performers – past, present and future – from the worlds of wrestling, MMA and boxing will be available for purchase as players fully customize their own roster of fighting athletes and created characters.

The game is scheduled to launch 4th Quarter 2010 exclusively on Katz’s http://www.geekweek.com website, with expansion to social networks and smart phones planned for 2nd quarter 2011. “We aren’t rushing into anything,” Katz said, “we believe there is an audience for this venture and we’re going to bring it into the marketplace in smart, strategic steps.”

New Mafia-Style Game Brings Fun, Action and Spice Back into Online, Text-Based Games

Tuesday, August 2nd, 2011

Houston, TX (PRWEB) March 22, 2010

Bored with playing Farmville, Playfish, and other games on Facebook and online outlets? Don’t worry, the developers of a new online, text-based RPG has launched the second server of The OG War.

?This is a role playing mafia game,? said Ernie Magar, a company spokesman for theogwar.com. ?In the game you must choose your path, train your character to be the strongest and highest level you can?

The launching of the game?s second server could prove to have perfect timing.

According to Gamepro, a gaming magazine which tracks the popularity of games and reviews new games entering the market, online gaming via Facebook and other outlets have exploded in the past 24 months with more than 100 million new gamers.

As for The OG War in particular, this is a game that is safe to play from work, Magar said, ?yet easy enough a child over the age of 13 can play.?

He added that purchasing through the game allows users to upgrade their account.

?Upgrades include more bank interest, faster energy regeneration, access to limited parts of the game and special cities to travel to,? said Magar. ?You can also purchase special items to upgrade your account and your bank with giving you the upper hand.?

Those signing up to the second game during the first week will be given an upgrade to their account for 10 days, providing users with a first-hand experience on the benefits of upgrading their account.

Magar stressed that, ?Our staff is almost always online and very friendly to help. We?re always improving the game and making sure it is what our users want. It is a direct clone of the first game but all users will be deleted so everyone is starting fresh and will have an equal opportunity to be in the top ranks.?

Jason Brown, 27, of Houston, who has played games online for years said he likes the new features that will be added to the game.

?It?s always a plus when current games are improved because it gives players like me something to look forward to and get excited about. I?m definitely excited about this game,? Brown said.

Online Games are Changing with Facebook Credits but Not Everyone Wants to Spend Money on Casual Gaming, says Sony Ericsson

Monday, August 1st, 2011

London, UK (PRWEB) September 16, 2010

The way people play and interact with games on Facebook is changing with the latest implementation of Facebook Credits, says Sony Ericsson, but not all users want to spend money on online games. Free, quick and simple games are still available, like Emusicon internet pinball, for those casual gamers who do not want to invest time and money.

Role-playing games such as Farmville and action games such as Mafia Wars are utilising these credits to enhance players’ experiences. Credits for these games were previously earned by unlocking different levels, but now the developers are monetising the games so users are required to use real cash to buy virtual goods.

There are over 140 games applications within Facebook that accept Facebook Credits. The currency allows players to buy special items that enable them to move ahead within the game more quickly. Facebook Credits also allow users to buy points to play specific games, buy avatars, food, pets and even virtual homes within games.

With over 500 million users on Facebook, half of those users play games on Facebook every month. According to the market research firm NPD Group, 20% of the whole American population has played, or are actively playing social games, within the past 3 months. 35% of those people were first-time gamers. Approximately 10% spend real money to improve their social gaming experience by buying virtual pets or weapons.

However, not everyone is going to want to part with hard earned cash, just to participate in social gaming. There are still games on Facebook that are still free to all users. Free online pinball games, such as Emusicon Pinball is one of many. Sony Ericsson developed this computer pinball game as part of their global page to give fans an additional element of fun when visiting the brand on Facebook.
