vampire diaries case study
Four Fansites Embedded the Insticator EmbedThe four participating websites faced a similar issue: though they could drive traffic to their domains, the fans weren’t spending much time on the site. Insticator’s embeddable turn-key platform was embedded into all four sites to stimulate the interest of users, gamify the fanpage experience, and increase page views, yielding more advertising dollars and driving tune-in.
• Active Embed Use After embedding the Insticator experience into the partner sites, clicks on predictions increased by 65.7%
• Daily Unique and Page View Growth In the eight weeks of the campaign, partners saw on average a 20.1% increase in page views and a 21.6% increase in uniques daily
• Double Twitter Reach By coordinating Twitter social pushes with the partners, social reach was shared to an audience double their usual reach (817,479)
• Expanded Social Following Over the duration of the campaign, participating sites saw an average of 16.5% more Twitter followers (48,675) and 10.3% more Facebook fans (10,354)
