VIGGLE INC. RECORDS BEST MONTH TO DATE
July 2014 sees record number of new registered users and monthly active users as expansion of platform and point earning on the web takes off
New York, NY – (August 7, 2014) – Viggle Inc. (NASDAQ:VGGL) (“Viggle”), the entertainment marketing and rewards platform, today released user data showing July 2014 as the best month in the company’s history, in terms of adding new registered users and driving monthly active users on the Viggle Platform.
The figures show about 860,000 monthly active users and an increase of approximately 566,000 new registered users.
Viggle Inc. has seen increasing cross-platform adoption of users of its various web, social and mobile properties which has boosted both key performance indicators. Viggle first announced the expansion of its platform integration — which allows point earning on the web – on June 2. That enabled users at Wetpaint, the leading digital destination and social publisher for entertainment fans, to earn Viggle Points for watching original video content.
Viggle and Wetpaint enhanced the consumer proposition on July 24 with the introduction of the Wetpaint VIP program. Wetpaint VIP membership ties Wetpaint users into the Viggle Platform and provides access to exclusive content and discounted rewards, plus automatic entry into sweepstakes.
The introduction of point-earning opportunities and the VIP program have dramatically increased the number of registrations for the Viggle Platform from Wetpaint’s millions of monthly unique visitors. In addition to the rapid registration growth, Viggle and Wetpaint are also seeing a marked increase in the number of original videos users are watching to earn Viggle Points they can redeem for rewards like song downloads, gift cards, electronics, and more.
“The early results of bringing our points earning and entertainment rewards model to web content are very encouraging,” said Greg Consiglio, President and Chief Operating Officer of Viggle. “Each month, Wetpaint reaches a highly social audience of TV fans who are now more engaged than ever. This is just the very successful beginning of expanding our entertainment and brand engagement rewards solutions to wherever fans are watching their favorite content.”
Viggle Inc.’s platform consists of the Viggle app, which offers rewards for watching TV, advertisements or listening to music; NextGuide, a personalized TV programming guide and distributed reminder platform; Wetpaint, an entertainment news and social publishing platform; and Viggle Store, a rewards destination where visitors can redeem Viggle Points for digital downloads. In June 2014, Viggle Inc. achieved a total reach of 18.4 million. Total reach is the total of registered users for the Viggle app and monthly unique users of the Wetpaint media properties.
