Marketing update

We’re spreading the word to drive more users and increase the number of searches!

Nvidia email announcement
This week we sent an email out to more than 2m registered users highlighting the Nvidia announcement. Our email improvement efforts were a success and saw significantly improved deliverability and open rates.
KuCoin trading competition and learn & earn
This week’s KuCoin promotion campaigns were a big success, with the highest PRE volume since March.
Welcome to all of the new PRE holders and users who came in through KuCoin.
Email marketing changes
Weekly Wins email will resume next week, and we expect improved deliverability to continue, so keep an eye on your inbox.
Searches stable
Searches continue to be in the 3–4m range. We’re working on some additional strategies to re-engage existing users using browser extensions and have begun by making a search extension available for Microsoft’s Edge browser.
Growing the growth marketing team

Monetization update

Presearch is ramping up monetization to ensure we reach our potential as a leading search business with a sustainable and regenerative token ecosystem

Takeover ads are now on preview server for testing
The dev team rapidly pushed out most elements of the refresh to enable the migration of Homepage Takeovers to Presearch Takeover Ads that are now displayed on search results as well, 10x-ing impressions.
Rather than a single ad creative, we now have 4 versions — mobile homepage & search page and corresponding desktop versions.
Takeover ads are now much more visually pleasing on mobile, and should convert significantly better.
Staking Rewards ad live
As part of our partnership with StakingRewards, their takeover ad went live this week, and they are close to launching our new staking rewards calculator.
Affiliate update
We’ve now been approved for more than 350 affiliate partnerships through Rakuten, Impact and other channels, and the team continues to create partnerships with new brands each day.
Call for Search API representative
Looking for community members to work on a commission basis to help promote the search API to potential customers, so we can monetize as the product gets finalized.
Looking for commission sales reps for homepage takeovers
If you’re interested in selling on a commission basis, please contact collaborate@presearch.io
