AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Perk.com Inc. (TSX:PER) (“Perk” or the “Company”), a leading cloud-based mobile rewards platform provider, announced today the official launch of Viggle.TV. Similar to Perk.TV, Viggle.TV is a website owned and operated by Perk where members can earn Perk Points for watching popular entertainment videos specifically tailored towards the Viggle audience. Since Viggle.TV went live on March 8, 2016, over one million videos are being viewed weekly through the new website.
Ted Hastings, Chief Executive Officer of Perk, stated: “Perk.TV has been a great performer for us with over 100 million videos viewed since the launch last September. Our Perk members have commented that they enjoy having the capability and versatility of earning Perk Points either through our wide selection of mobile applications or through their desktop browsers and we wanted to provide a similar experience for our Viggle members.
“Viggle.TV provides our users with yet another vehicle for which they can earn Perk Points, and also provides the Company with additional website advertising inventory, and therefore greater access to advertising dollars allocated to reach consumers through traditional website advertising. We have been pleased with how quickly Viggle users have adopted the new website and are confident, similar to Perk.TV, that the success will continue as we grow our user base and expand and develop our advertising network.”
