Let’s talk about Survey Offerwalls

 

Offerwalls are an ad monetization format that is widely used nowadays and have been around for more than a decade. With Offerwalls, users can choose from a variety of different offers and get the relevant reward upon completing an action such as downloading an app. The more important the offer, the higher the reward. Offerwalls exist in both web and mobile.

Evolution

While the initial Offerwall solutions were focusing mainly in-app installs a lot of different offers started to appear through the years. Subscriptions, sign-ups, videos and other actions can now be found in the Offerwalls. 

One of the Offerwall major new entries over the last years was the introduction of surveys in the available offers. Market Research provides higher incentives and therefore in no time, surveys became one of the most popular categories of offers, in the ad Offerwalls. A lot of the ad networks either created dedicated sections for surveys while other ad networks started offering exclusively such solutions.

 

Pollfish, as the pioneer in this market, has launched its own Survey Offerwall back in 2013, which is today used by thousands of publishers who are looking to monetize their content with alternative formats that combine nice user experience and attractive payouts.
