By czigler Preview Networks PR and News Comments Off

Finnkino Oy and Preview Networks have engaged in a content partnership that will integrate Preview Networks’ local Finnish movie trailers directly on the Finnkino.fi website.  This partnership is particularly important as Finnkino Oy is Finland’s biggest cinema chain accounting for the majority of cinema screens in Finland.

“To say that Finnkino Oy is a key player in the Finnish theatrical market is truly an understatement, and I am pleased that they have chosen Preview Networks as their trusted partner for trailer sourcing,” says Staffan Norden, Sales Director at Preview Networks.

Finnkino Oy is joining hundreds of other cinemas in Europe, including major names like Cineplex, CineStar and CinemaxX, using Preview Networks as their “single point of content” for theatrical trailers and EPK material.

My Movies iPhone App

By Heather Timmerman mobile, movie app, Products 1 Comment »

We’re happy to announce another mobile app has joined our network and is available on iTunes.   My Movies iPhone Pro is now online displaying movie trailers from Preview Networks.  But that’s not the most interesting part of the application.

My Movies truly aims to be a complete movie database package solution by allowing you to keep your collection between multiple clients, platforms, and phones whether online or in a household.  You never have to worry about losing your fantastic movie collection because the application works off of an internal database so you don’t have to be online to search for what movie you should watch tonight.

Perhaps my favorite part of the application from an online marketing perspective is the camera barcode scanning feature that allows you to add a title to your collection or watch a movie trailer instantly while in a video store to determine whether or not it’s worth seeing.

Barcode scanning is nothing new, but it shows the increasing trend of instant gratification and immediate interaction between the average consumer and product on the shelf when it comes to online usage.    Read more about the My Movies iPhone App.

96% Recommendation Rate

By Heather Timmerman General, mobile, News we can use, Preview Networks PR and News 1 Comment »

In May, 2010 Preview Networks launched a customer survey to keep a pulse on what is new and happening in the video distribution world.   We inquired on preferences in content distribution channels and online tracking methods.

5 out of 10 customers surveyed indicated mobile would be one of the main developments in regards to content distribution.   Not surprising, with the launch of Android phones and the new iPhone 4.   The good news for our customers is that Preview Networks supports multiple iPhone and Android apps with new developments in the pipeline.

70% also indicated they would like enhanced reporting capabilities – something we are already working on.

Perhaps the best news of all however, is that 96% of our customers either already have recommended our service or would do so to a colleague in the future. Speed and quality of service were at the top of the list, with size and quality of network falling in line right behind.   In other words, Preview Networks provides: “Fast and friendly service delivering content to quality networks you can trust.”

Now that’s something to shout about!
