Mother of two looking to stay home hopes to make someone else a millionaire
Marketing and sales background allows mother to take new pixel ad site to the next level, if successful she will be giving away a $1,000,000 grand prize.
Marcee Townsend, 28, of Knoxville, Tennessee had been combing the internet looking for ideas on how she could leave her corporate job. Her goal was to stay at home with her two young children while still contributing to the family finances. During her quest she ran across several articles relating to a recently highly successful new form of advertising- Pixel Ads. However she had some of the same concerns that others in the online community did “After reading several reviews of other pixel ad sites, I noticed several recurring requests or concerns that I knew we would need to address in order to have a successful site” said Marcee. That is when she turned to the family web developer and marketing guru, Chris, for help. Chris Townsend, 30, “We asked ourselves two questions: How do we achieve a constant flow of traffic for the advertisers? And, what can we do to entice visitors to continuously visit our site?” This is where they decided to give away one million dollars.
On March 26, 2006 the two launched treasurepix.com. The site is a marriage between interactive gaming and pixel ads. When visitors first load the site they will not immediately see a jumble of tiny ads, instead they will see pieces of a puzzle forming a picture. When a visitor’s mouse hovers over the picture they will then see the ads. Each puzzle will have four clues, three of the clues will be hidden randomly in pixels on the site and players must click on the pixels to find the clues. The picture itself is the fourth clue. Once a player believes they know the answer they can submit an online entry form to win prizes. When the puzzle is complete a drawing will be held for all players that had the correct answer. There will be seven puzzles in the series, with the prizes varying from $5,000 for the first puzzle to $50,000 for the seventh. The Grand Prize drawing will take place thirty days after the last ad is placed on the seventh puzzle, players must submit a form with all seven correct answers. There will be one winner and they will walk away with one million dollars. Unlike other sites there is no entry fee nor is the game restricted to only those that are advertising. “We expect to get to the point where we have a high continuous flow of traffic because of the game model and the cash prizes that we are offering. To the best of our knowledge there is not another site out there offering a free game with this large of a grand prize” said Chris. “We’re not greedy people” added Marcee “we understand that in order to have a site that advertisers want to place ads on we have to bring the traffic, to insure a steady following and continuous flow. We are willing to give up a portion of our proceeds as prize money as incentive for people to play the game. Really it is a circle, traffic leads to advertisers which will purchase pixel ads which will lead to a completed puzzle which ends in cash drawings. We look forward to the possibility of making someone a millionaire”.
Let the games begin…..
