UnaPop Adselfies Reward Consumers for Promoting their Favorite Brands via Social Networks

ATLANTA, Aug. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Looking to turn the advertising world upside down, UnaPop has launched a Kickstarter campaign to build its patent-pending technology. The social media advertising company has developed tools that will enable consumers to create relevant and non-intrusive advertising to be shared in social media's micro environment with family and friends. While at the same time, UnaPop Adselfies provide brands a native way to connect with current and potential customers.

The 33-day Kickstarter campaign (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/unapop/unapop-get-rewarded-for-your-creative-adselfies-wi?ref=nav_search) launches August 14, and seeks to raise $330,000 to build the necessary technology, which includes multiple websites for consumers and clients, as well as build apps available on iOS, Android and Windows.

"UnaPop Adselfies tap into two things so many of us enjoy, taking selfies and receiving free or discounted goods," said Leon Stoltz, Founder & CEO of UnaPop. "We believe the UnaPop platform will revolutionize advertising by providing consumers the ability to create their own ads that showcase their selfies with embedded brand logos. This micro-advertising approach makes the advertising native, easily shareable and ultimately valuable through our reward system."

The UnaPop Adselfies are simple to use:
     1. Download UnaPop's mobile app or visit its website and select a brand campaign.
     2. Discover rewards that you are eligible to receive from the advertiser and UnaPop. 
     3. Submit your selfie for legal approval; the photo will be returned with an embedded logo.
     4. Post the Adselfie to all your favorite social media platforms and receive instant rewards.

The UnaPop platform will consist of two levels, one free and another Premium-based membership that will cost 99-cents a year. The free model will provide rewards directly from the advertiser such as coupons, prizes and merchandise, while Premium members can receive additional benefits from UnaPop.

While UnaPop continues to seek partnerships for incentives from large and smaller brands to provide consumers, the company has already received verbal commitments from global brands, local retailers and advertising agencies eager to use this platform.

"Businesses and advertising agencies have been very receptive to this concept and we've already received verbal commitments ranging from small companies to worldwide brands, so now is the time to proceed on the fundraising aspect," said Stoltz. "Our rewards program has items for businesses seeking to brand their company and for consumers seeking early adopter benefits."

The UnaPop AdSelfie social media platform will launch within three months of funding, with UnaPop owning all the rights to the technology. Research shows that the opportunity is tremendous, as social ads have a 55% higher recall than non-social ads and social ad spending is expected to grow to $11 Billion by 2017 (according to Nielsen).

Founder Leon Stoltz is a global entrepreneur with repeated successes at starting up and growing consumer and industrial product companies in the U.S. and Japan, among other countries.
