Mobile App Developers
Mobile is very personal! Your users deserve the perfect reward/deal at the right time and the right place.
Multiply your CTR with Vufind's interest-based targeting!
To integrate Vufind's interest recognition platform, you'd need to use as many of Vufind's APIs as can be integrated seamlessly into your app/game in order for us to build a complete and accurate interest profiles and interest graph of your user community. The more signals you provide to us, the more the interest graph engine can resolve conflicts, corroborate the interests, etc.
The Vufind interest graph and interest profiles for your users are associated with the user-id you choose to submit in the APIs. If you submit facebook-id or twitter-id, then we will try to leverage the social graph data as well. However, this is totally optional.
The APIs will be launched in private beta soon, however, we wanted to share with you a taste of what they will look like. If you have a mobile app or location-aware game with a million users or more and would like to partner with us as an early adopter to provide awesome targeting of ads/rewards/deals to your users, we'd love to hear from you. Please contact us using the form or on biz@vufind.com.
