W3i Introduces 3quency™, a Unique Toolbar Service for Increased Consumer Engagement
St. Cloud, Minnesota, July 16, 2009 – W3i, an application network that increases distribution, revenue, and engagement for Windows applications, introduces a new service, 3quencyTM, a toolbar platform that simplifies the building of complex toolbars, including client and user customization features, that encourage engagement.
Building a toolbar that engages the user with useful content and quality search capabilities is an effective marketing strategy to increase user engagement. 3quency makes it easy with drag-and-drop widgets and flexible design capabilities for stronger branding combined with W3i’s robust reporting system supplying the data needed for effective toolbar management. “The technology makes it easy for a client to configure a toolbar’s content so that each user segment receives a unique, relevant experience that increases engagement. Users can easily customize to suit their own needs; strengthening engagement resulting in longer user tenure and increased performance.” comments Ryan Weber, Vice President of Corporate Strategy and Co-Founder of W3i.
The first toolbar delivered by 3quency is an upgraded and enhanced Freeze.com Toolbar offering more engaging content as well as access to the widget gallery. The free Freeze.com Toolbar is one of the most accepted recommendations offered through W3i’s Application Network.
