The Revenue Model Of ScoopWhoop
Advertisement forms that primary source of revenue generated by ScoopWoop.com
Brands advertise on ScoopWhoop because of its massive reach. ScoopWoop has a team of dedicated content creators who work with brands to create ‘brand-stories’ that are ‘likely’ to resonate well with the ScoopWhoop Audience.
The advertisement content is designed to induce maximum sharing amongst the viewers – thus promising the brands the potential of going viral. The content may take various forms like video stories, long format articles, polls, quiz, infographics etc depending upon the goals of the advertiser.
It is interesting to note that the ScoopWhoop’s in-house team plays an active role in creating advertising content which is a departure from traditional advertising medium where the content is solely created by the advertiser. This enables ScoopWhoop to channel their understanding of their users ‘interest profile’ to often deliver better results for the advertisers.
The advertising content is integrated along-side the non-paid ‘regular’ content which often makes it distinguishable (if you know what I mean..) and non-obtrusive for the viewers.
ScoopWhoop also makes money from the display of regular banner advertising on their website.
