Q: What is a Video Perk?
A Video Perk is a thank you from the brand directly to the viewer for their attention. This value exchange grabs the initial attention of the customer and encourages them to engage to learn more. Watch a short explainer video here on what a Video Perk is and different kinds of Video Perks.
A: Who provides the Perk?
You are in control of choosing relevant perks for your users. You are also responsible for distributing the perk to the user(s). Vieworks also offers the possibility to select perks and distribution from one of their 1000 partners.
Q: Do Video Perks really work?
Rewarding users for their attention is a proven method. Once a user sees your video content and shares their data, the likelihood they become a customer significantly increases. A perk is a great method to get them to listen to what you have to offer.
Q: Who owns the data?
A: You own your user's data. Vieworks does not use or share any user data. It is held and transferred securely.
Q: Will there be Vieworks branding in my campaigns or the UX ? What kind of branding can I expect?
A. Links are set by your brand and run on videoperks.io which is not Vieworks branded (i.e. Starbucks.videoperks.io). You can remove the powered by Vieworks in the setup.
The emails to the user have your logo in and are from perks@videoperks.io (unbranded) - There is a legal reference to Vieworks in small in the footer.
You upload your logo which is included throughout the journey of the widget. Only powered by vieworks.io is referenced in small text at the bottom of the widget.
Q: Will this integrate into your other CRMs or software?
A: Yes, of course. It easily integrates into the most common tools you are already using through an easy to use CSV export. Vieworks has heaps of integrations!
Q: For integrations what is Zapier?
A: Zapier is a service that you can use to connect apps and automate different tasks. You can integrate your apps and tell Zapier what you want to accomplish. It is essentially a way to build workflows to accomplish simple tasks automatically. Yes Zapier it is a native integration here

Q: Is value exchange advertising the same as incentivised advertising?
A: The answer is no, video perks and value exchange are different to incentivized (rewarded video), as the user is not forced to watch to get something. Also, the gifting of the perk is between the advertiser (not only the publisher) and the customer, forming a relationship. Additionally, Vieworks runs across all digital destinations, unlike rewarded video which traditionally runs on mobile games. Read more about the differences between rewarded video and value exchange advertising here.
