- (1888PressRelease) October 14, 2012 - Prominent African social networking website, Ladies And Gentlemen book, often called "LAGbook", today launched a new Ad system for large businesses and small to medium-sized enterprises. The new Ad system aims at promoting brands on the login page of LAGbook.com
The New Background Ads will help promote businesses with the entire backdrop of LAGbook's login/signup page for as low as 20,000 Naira ($125) per day. LAGbook also offers appreciable discounts for longer durations. Running a Background Ad on LAGbook for a month attracts a charge of 550,000 Naira ($3,400), while a duration of 6 months costs 3 million Naira ($1,900). The social company offers its Background Ad for a year for 5.5 million Naira ($34,000).
LAGbook debuted its Background Ad with a Dropbox ad. The social company runs a promotional ad for Dropbox since August 2012 for additional storage on the Dropbox platform. In the past, LAGbook has used its Backdrop to advertise brands like Etisalat Nigeria, MTN Nigeria, and Research-in-Motion (RIM) Nigeria. But, it has not used its entire background until the launch of its new background ads.
"Our new background ad is a modification of our previous backdrop ad system. In the past, we used a specific area of our login page to advertise brands like Etisalat and Blackberry. Recently, we underwent a hackathon that led to a new login page design. Yesterday, I brainstormed on a new idea of dedicating the entire background of our login page to promote brands for an affordable fee, and we debuted with an ad for Dropbox, which we ran previously with our top banner ad system", said Chika Nwaogu, CEO and President at LAGbook, Inc.
Chika continued, "We run our new background ad for as low as twenty thousand naira per day, and offer attractive discounts to advertisers running for longer durations. We're working on our business model, and we think that the new Background Ad will go well in it. LAGbook recently reached profitability with our Blackberry deal, and we intend to remain profitable for as long as we exist".
"LAGbook is a social discovery platform, and helping our almost five hundred thousand registered users, and over two million visitors to discover new brands through the new background ads is an awesome idea. The new background ads will not only promote brands to our registered members, but also to our non-registered visitors, which spans into millions", said Chidi Nwaogu, Co-founder of LAGbook.
Chidi continued, "The cost to run ads with the new background ad system will increase progressively as our user size and visitor size increases with time. LAGbook is a fast growing social networking website with over 6,000 daily new signups. The same goes to all our ad systems too."
LAGbook is an African-based social networking website targeted specifically at the youth demographic (18-30), but permits registration of people 13 and older. The social network with almost 500,000 registered members, is most popular in the Nigeria, Ghana, United States, and the United Kingdom.
