The recent launches complete the rollout of native chat ads and video interstitials, which the company began earlier this summer in limited release, across its largest mobile platforms.
“We expect native chat ads and video interstitials together to contribute more than $1 million to Q4 revenue,” said Geoff Cook, CEO of MeetMe. “We are presently enjoying strong pricing on the video interstitials. We are also pleased to bring our native mobile ad unit to our most popular feature – Chat.”
“In addition to these new ad units,” Cook continued, ”we have greatly increased the targeting potential available to advertisers over the last quarter by launching an expanded profile and interest tags. In addition to these new advertising products, we remain on schedule to launch dramatic improvements to our in-app purchasing products as well. By year-end, we expect to launch a major revamp of our MeetMe+ subscription service, as well as a new in-app-purchase product in our Chat section.”
