What is it?
Lead generation is used by advertisers to obtain specific information about an engaged consumer who has shown a level of interest in a product or service.
A qualified leads tends to comprise the demographic and contact information of a consumer. A level of flexibility also allows advertisers to gather feedback from specific lifestyle questions.
Why is it important?
Lead generation enables advertisers to target their ideal audience through filters such as age, demographics and gender. It is an effective tool for database building, as every lead is an engaged consumer to whom advertisers can market on an ongoing basis.
In this manner, lead generation enables advertisers to generate a steady flow of new business within a pre-determined budget. Since an advertiser only pays for valid leads, the partner responsible for generating the lead shoulders the majority of risk.
What we do
Our lead generation programmes fall into two types:
- The first is co-registration. This is ideal for low value or mass market advertisers such as FMCG, retail, sampling etc. or those who wish to build their customer database quickly. Users tend to be incentivised; a fact reflected in the commercial terms.
- The second type is referred to as premium. This is aimed at high value, niche advertisers such as finance, automotive, premium fashion etc. Leads are generated by non-incentivised content websites and on average the volume is moderate but the quality is high.
