Redbox Launches Its First Affiliate Program
More Consumers Can Now Discover New-Release Titles from Redbox, and Publishers Can Earn Valuable Customer-Referral Commissions
OAKBROOK TERRACE, Ill., June 19, 2012 — Redbox, America’s destination for entertainment, today announced the launch of its first affiliate program with Performics, a performance-marketing agency owned by Publicis Groupe and a pioneer in the affiliate space. The partnership will allow Redbox to reach potential new customers and to reinforce its commitment to its existing customer base.
The program is simple: partner sites will host Redbox advertisements and earn commissions every time visitors click on them to reserve rentals or to buy Redbox gift cards. The platform is an integral part of the overarching Redbox digital-marketing platform, as it provides consumers with even more access to the movies and games they love.
“Affiliate marketing is the next logical next step for Redbox, as it aligns nicely with our interactive marketing platform,” said Mark Achler, SVP of new business, innovation and strategy at Redbox. “This platform will benefit consumers as they can now gain more exposure to the new-release titles they want.”
In addition to monetary incentives, the affiliate program gives partners access to key tools for tracking, reporting and optimizing their campaigns. Affiliates enrolled in the program will receive:
• Custom banner ads
• Unique text links
• Easy access to detailed reporting
• Affiliate-only, exclusive offers
• Regular communications with tips for success
• Proprietary program-management tools
• A dedicated support team
Redbox remains committed to giving people access to the entertainment they love. By partnering with affiliate websites, the company has uncovered a new way to be everywhere movie and game lovers are.
