Studios and Affiliates should use these marketing suggestions to improve overall revenues by increasing targeted traffic to your VOD offering.

Linking to your Theatre
There are several methods to link to a theatre. The LinkMaker Tool in your administrator account will automatically generate the link codes for the options below. By the way, feel free to ask us for assistance.

Four Most Important Linking Methods:

• VOD Option on First Page. Studios and Affiliates have seen a dramatic increase in revenues by offering an option to view VOD immediately when a user hits their site. The more obvious the offering is, the better the results. This has had zero negative on the existing offerings, only increased VOD. Example 1: Dark Alley Example 2: Bearlandia
• VOD Built Into Menu. Most Studio and Affiliate websites have a menu to navigate different sections of their site. By adding VOD, or 'Watch Movies Now,' to the menus, users will be more inclined to try it.
• 'Watch Now' Buttons inside Catalog. Many Studio sites have an online store allowing users to purchase DVDs. When a user is perusing the catalog, wherever the option to 'Buy DVD' or 'Add to Cart' appears, a similar option to 'Watch Now' should be added, linking directly to that movie inside the VOD theatre. The LinkMaker Tool can create direct links to any title.
• Banner Ads. Simple but effective! Put banners ads saying "Watch Movies Now!" that link directly to your theatre. It is recommended that you place banner ads and text links on top of high traffic pages and/or on appropriate places on your site. Example 1: Bearmen

• Open direct to a specific Movie. Link from within your site to a specific movie. Example. [opens a smelly movie]
• Open direct to speficifc Search Keywords. Link from within your site to any searchable keyword in your theatre site. For example, to all titles with a particular star, genre, etc. Example. [shows 'smoking' movies]
• Popunder. When your website opens, your theatre can open automatically "behind" your site, so that when the user closes the window, the theatre is immediately in front of them. This is an effective marketing technique because all users are forced to see the theatre. The code we provide is "smart" and only opens the theatre once per session. Note: we suggest only using one Popunder per site, or rotating popunder targets as opposed to multiiple popunders. More than one popunder is considered "spammy" and will annoy users.
  

• Add Email Collection to your site. Using simple javascript code, you can have a popup window open on your site that collects email addresses for your theatre. The popup has an option to never appear again so that it doesnt annoy users.
• Upload email list to receive annoucements. If you have a clean opt-in list of customers, you can upload it (or email it to us and we'll do it). Additional recipients of your VOD annoucements will lead to sales.

• Custom Pay-Per-View Guide. Studios or Affiliates that have more than one theatre site can also benefit from their own custom guide.
• Related Sites Pay-Per-View Guides. Studios or Affiliates can optionally offer a popunder guide to related genre theatres. You will receive affiliate revenue share of 50% of memberships and 25% of pay-per-view for all revenues derived from your traffic.
