PAYFORVIEW.COM SIGNS DEAL WITH INNOVATIVE NEW YORK BASED ADVERTISING
990326 - PAYFORVIEW.COM(PAYV) - RENO, NEVADA
PayForView.com Inc. ("PayForView") (PAYV) is pleased to announce that it today entered into an agreement with New York based AIRTIME INTERACTIVE, a boutique advertising firm with extensive experience in Internet advertising.
"We are very excited about the advertising possibilities made available by PayForView's services," says Airtime President Jonathan C. Feller, "We anticipate that advertisers will pay a premium to be able to specifically target their audience and provide interactive advertising." Other clients of Airtime are PRIMETIME 24, THE WALL ST. JOURNAL REPORT and GET2NET. Airtime is part of the KINNEVIK GROUP, a 1.5 billion dollar Swedish corporation. A world leader in TV media and telecommunications, KINNEVIK operates TV, radio, satellite and cable systems, digital cellular telephone systems throughout the world, and TV SHOP, the largest home shopping service in Europe.
Advertisers on PayForView will be able to create a link in the commercial spot that allows viewers to click directly into their website to find out more information on the product, or order the product from them directly. In some instances, PayForView's own e-commerce set up will handle direct sales over the Internet of particular products from advertisers. Also, interactive advertising creates many other opportunities. Consumers can answer questions, click to find out more information on certain aspects of a product, or see the product in use, in different styles, different flavors or colors.
PayForView is currently negotiating with several innovative multimedia companies to work with PayForView to produce interactive advertising that will be aired with PayForView's entertainment product. "We recognize the need for specialized services to help design the new type of commercials we will be airing that allow direct marketing tie ins over the Internet," says Warren Wayne, VP Licensing, "PayForView intends to work closely with advertisers in developing the type of commercials that will maximize the potential of streaming live action commercials over the Internet."
In addition to these innovative advertising models, PayForView intends to stream infomercials through an infomercial section where viewers can choose which infomercials interest them. Instead of phoning a toll free number, viewers will be able to click on an icon and order the product directly. PayForView intends to use its own electronic commerce system to act as the retailer and fulfill orders in exchange for a service fee or percentage. As part of the deal signed today, Airtime will provide PayForView with infomercials to show on PayForView's website.
