Today’s consumer is smarter than ever and isn’t sold just because they saw a banner ad or TV commercial. In fact, 75% of people don’t

accept advertisements as truth! On top of this 72% of marketers do not recognize or leverage customer referral value. Both of these facts

are amazing, considering that…

There is currently a massive imbalance in mobile advertising as

20% of media is consumed on mobile devices, but only 3-4% of

total ad spend is allocated to mobile. This same imbalance existed

in the late 90s for the Internet.

Time Spent in AppsTime Spent on Web

Mobile users spend 89% of their time accessing media through apps and

only 11% accessing media through the web. Banner ads and search ads

can’t reach users while they are in apps. Brands need to get in front of

users while they are in apps.

The mobile ad market is predicted to reach $35.62 billion by 2017 (according to emarketer) at which point it will exceed

Our Solution

Influential Customers Branded Content

7

Our native iPhone, Android and HTML 5 apps allow brands to tap into the influence of their customers by rewarding them for completing valuable social actions, such as taking a picture with a brand’s product or sharing a brand’s message on Facebook.

We have created a new form of mobile advertising, where the brand’s experience becomes the advertisement.

How Customers Look To UsThe process starts with our users. We look at each users Facebook, Twitter and Loot! activity/data to determine how

influential they are for the respective brand running a campaign.

Joe 300 Twitter Followers 200 Facebook Friends 1.2 Engagements/Post

Steve 13,000 Twitter Followers 1,000 Facebook Friends 20 Engagements/Post

Bill 20 Twitter Followers 60 Facebook Friends .1 Engagements/Post

Stacey 2,000 Twitter Followers 750 Facebook Friends 14 Engagements/Post

8

How It WorksWhen our users log into our app they view campaigns from local and national businesses. When a campaign excites them they participate by either sharing the brand’s message on Facebook and Twitter or taking a picture of themselves with the

brand’s product.

9

Reward Fulfillment, Made EasyOnce the user completes the action for the brand they receives an awesome reward: cash, product, experiences or promo/coupon code. Users can keep track of their rewards with their in-app wallet. With their Loot! wallet they can withdraw cash earnings via PayPal, receive coupon codes and redeem non-cash rewards in store by showing an in-app confirmation ticket.

Joe Earned $1 for taking a picture

of himself wearing his Nike shoes during soccer practice.

Bill Earned a backstage pass to see Less Than Jake in concert for posting about the show on

Facebook.

Unlockable Rewards and CampaignsOur newest and most exciting feature allows brands to lock campaigns with a branded code. This will allow brands to reward their customers for a nearly unlimited number of actions, such as visiting a physical store, buying a product or watching a video. Once the

customer completes an action they will receive a unique branded code, which they can use to access the offer on Loot! Brands can also use this new feature to hand pick the super fans and customers that they want participating in a campaign. Only the invited individuals

would be able to participate in the campaign and receive the reward.

“Chasm.io (Formerly Wahooly) Merges With Social Marketing App Loot”

“NativeX and Loot partner to pay you $1M to promote brands, games on mobile”

We formed an exclusive partnership with NativeX at the start of December 2014. We’ve integrated their API into our platform allowing us to reward our users for installing and using both iOS and Android apps. Our users on average receive 20% of the publisher payout for downloading each app while the remaining 80% is split 50/50 between ourselves and NativeX. We have essentially found an arbitrage in the market where we can “sell” app installs for 2-3x what we “buy” them for. This is a win for all parties involved as our customers get new users, our users get an awesome reward and we generate revenue.
