What are Adscend Media’s Market Research Surveys?
Adscend Media’s Market Research surveys are surveys that are custom-tailored to a user’s interests and are available via publisher apps, games, and websites on the Adscend Media platform.

How Do Adscend’s Market Research Surveys Work?
Adscend’s Market Research surveys are used by publishers on the Adscend platform to monetize their apps, games, and websites. For each Market Research survey completed by a user, the user will receive credit redeemable for rewards from the Adscend publisher (e.g. virtual currency, in-game items, gift cards) while the Adscend publisher will receive a commission. Here’s how Adscend’s Market Research Surveys work:

Step #1: Seeking to earn points redeemable for rewards from an Adscend publisher, a user clicks on a Market Research Survey link on an Adscend publisher’s app, site, or game. The user is then immediately taken to a profile creation screen.	Step #2: The user fills out a short survey profile, providing Adscend’s Market Research partners with user interest, behavior, and demographic information. (Note the user is offered a small reward amount to complete a survey profile.)	Step #3: Upon profile completion, the user will receive up to 15 surveys daily from Adscend’s Market Research partners. The user will then receive rewards points for each survey that he or she completes from the Adscend publisher.

What Kind of Data Can Adscend’s Market Research Surveys Yield?
Solely through users completing short survey profiles (average time to complete is less than five minutes), Adscend’s Market Research surveys can yield up to 18 lifestyle data points, including age, gender, ethnicity, martial status, and pet ownership.

Why Do Users Love Market Research Surveys?
Due to the deeper level of targeting delivered via survey profile, Adscend’s Market Research partners offer a higher payout to reach target respondents. This higher payout allows Adscend to pay their publishers more per completed survey, including up to $30 per completion. With most rewards-based offers paying publishers approximately $1.00, Adscend’s Market Research surveys are an extremely attractive monetization option for Adscend’s publishers. Since solution inception, over 2.3 million Market Research survey profiles have been completed via Adscend publisher sites, apps, and games.

Where Are Adscend’s Market Research Surveys Available? Adscend’s Market Research surveys are available in over 250 countries, including US, CA, ID, IN, DE, RU, GB, and AU.

How Does Adscend Ensure Quality Data?
From custom in-house proxy detection, to bot blocking systems, to proactive publisher fraud monitoring, Adscend’s Total Fraud Defense ensures quality survey data.

Ready to Have a Rewarding Q1?

Whether it’s implementing publisher suggestions to help them increase revenue, finding ways to respond to our users even quicker, or taking the time to send a referral to one of our strategic business partners, our daily goal at Adscend Media is always to Make Every Experience Rewarding. It’s more than just our slogan, it’s our way of life. We feel that life just flows better when you help others succeed, don’t you think?

Keeping with the theme of our slogan, we’re proud to offer you an extra reward when you launch a desktop or mobile advertising campaign across the Adscend network during the First Quarter of 2017.

Launching a campaign across our traffic already has many perks, including access to:

• Target users in 180+ countries
• Engaging ad formats that can only be found at Adscend, such as EngageMe.TV, Rewarded Video, and Market Research Surveys
• 30,000 publishers who can handle your high-volume needs, including burst campaigns to acquire quality mobile users quickly
• Pay-for-performance pricing
• Dedicated account support
• Advanced fraud detection
• Precise targeting options.

However, we’re always looking for ways to help you generate better ad spend ROI (back to that rewarding thing again :)). Therefore, we’re proud to announce the launch of our latest promotion, which is designed to be a difference maker in maximizing your Q1 ad budget:

Introducing Adscend’s New Year, New Spend Promotion

What is It? The New Year, New Spend promotion enables new and inactive Adscend advertising partners to earn up to $1,000 in free ad credits when they launch a desktop or mobile advertising campaign before April 1, 2017.

How to Earn Free Ad Credits: Credits are earned once a campaign spend reaches one of the designated spend thresholds of the promotion.

Eligible Campaign Types: Any of Adscend’s desktop or mobile campaign formats can be used with this promotion, including Cost Per Install (CPI), Cost Per Engagement (CPE), Market Research, Rewarded Video, Cost Per Action (CPA), and Cost Per Sale (CPS).

Required Traffic: Campaigns eligible for the New Year, New Spend promotion must be launched via our Rewarding Ads traffic. Here’s how our Rewarding Ads traffic works:

Ads from our desktop or mobile advertising partners are served via our Rewarding Ad solutions, including our Offer Wall, Rewarded Video, Market Research Survey, and EngageMe.TV solutions. These solutions allow users to earn rewards on a website or app by completing offers from our advertising partners, instead of spending their hard-earned cash to obtain items like gift cards, in-game currency, character upgrades, access to premium in-app features, or other virtual rewards. For example, a mobile app user can choose to complete a few short surveys using our Offer Wall solution to “pay” for access to premium filters on a photo-sharing app, instead of spending $2.99 to obtain them.

Eligible Advertising Partners: Advertising partners who have never launched a campaign across the Adscend network, or who haven’t launched a campaign after July 1, 2016 are eligible.

You may have noticed that the phrase Make Every Experience Rewarding has started popping up everywhere around Adscend Media lately. This phrase is more than just inspirational rhetoric, however. It’s our way of life. Just in the last month, this phrase has been the mantra that has powered the redesign of our blog and the creation of our new-look website, as well as the release of our game-changing Market Research SDK solution. By now, you’re probably:

1. Trying to figure out what exactly does Make Every Experience Rewarding mean
2. Wondering why you should care about the phrase at all.

Therefore, the Adscend Marketing team sat down with a heavyweight to get you answers to the questions above.
Here’s what Adscend Media CEO Fehzan Ali had to say about the importance of the phrase Make Every Experience Rewarding:

What Does “Make Every Experience Rewarding” mean?
It’s essentially the core principle that drives our business today and in the future. At Adscend Media, we strive to make every interaction you have with our dashboard, every interaction you have with our team, every interaction your users have with our offers and monetization solutions, and every interaction advertisers have with us a rewarding experience that gets better over time.

Why Does this Matter?
Advertising is changing. Mobile ad spend exceeded desktop ad spend for the first time in 2015 and this trend will continue. Moreover, users are tired of annoying ads that slow down their browsing experience and are using adblock solutions at a rapidly increasing rate. This is a real and significant problem in advertising today. Adobe and PageFair recently predicted adblock will result in potentially $41.4 billion in lost revenues in 2016. Users have made it clear that intrusive ad formats will no longer be tolerated.

The user experience is clearly important! And this is where we come in – our solutions have always focused on rewarding users, whether that is with premium content, in-app items, or other rewards. We’re continually building upon and improving our platform to make every experience more rewarding than the last.

Advertising no longer has to take away from the user experience. Users LOVE our rewarded ads. Our Offer Wall, Market Research, Rewarded Video, and other rewarded solutions produce insanely-high eCPMs AND boost user retention. Many of our active partners see a 10-20% boost in user retention when integrating our solutions, as well as a very significant bump in revenue.

How Will Adscend Continue to Make Every Experience Rewarding?
Last month, we launched an industry-first market research mobile solution that is redefining the mobile user ad experience and helping publishers generate amazing results. This launch is just the beginning of even more powerful changes at Adscend to help you earn more than ever before. As we look forward, we plan to launch many key solutions and updates that will continue to rapidly transform our platform and Make Every Experience Rewarding.

Overview

Taking place on Sunday during Summit, typically from 12 p.m.-6 p.m., the Meet Market is a one-day event that allows conference attendees to quickly meet as many Affiliate Summit exhibitors as possible. However, unlike the Affiliate Summit Exhibit Hall, there are no elaborate booths or multiple floors of exhibitors at the Meet Market. All Meet Market exhibitors are located in one hall and booths are replaced by tables. This simple layout allows for Meet Market attendees to move quickly from table to table.

With major conference networking taking place in a venue that is about 1/3 of the size of the Affiliate Summit Exhibit Hall, the Meet Market can be a little hectic for Affiliate Summit first timers. With a little help from the tips below, you should be able to have a successful Meet Market experience:

Map it Out: Prior to attending the Meet Market, we recommend that you check out the Exhibit Hall and Meet Market Map to determine which exhibitors are potential fits for meeting your business objectives. This map not only provides the location of each of the exhibitors at the Meet Market, but also provides a description of each exhibitor and their contact information. As you review the map, make sure to jot down the table numbers of Meet Market exhibitors that you would like to meet with. Then, when you do decide to enter the Meet Market, you will be able to easily move to your intended business targets.

Visit Key Exhibitors First: Though one day at the Meet Market can be extremely productive for an exhibitor, it can also be tiring to make hundreds of connections in a single day. Therefore, around 5 p.m. during the Meet Market, you will notice that some exhibitors will start to close up shop. For this reason, we recommend connecting with the important exhibitors on your list earlier in the day.

Keep it Brief: As previously mentioned, with all activity taking place in a single hall, the Meet Market can be a noisy place. Therefore, we recommend keeping your conversations short and to the point. Trying to go into the specifics of your business model might not be too productive with conversational noise humming loudly around you. For best results, think more elevator pitch, and less formal meeting. The goal of your conversations should be to simply find out if you and the exhibitor are a fit to work together in the future.

One and Done: Finally, not all Meet Market exhibitors will have booths when the exhibit hall opens on Monday. Therefore, we recommend cross-checking the companies that will exhibiting in the Affiliate Summit Exhibit Hall against those who will be exhibiting in the Meet Market by using the Exhibit Hall and Meet Market Map.
