It may have taken some time coming and many feel like they have been waiting too long - but SwuzzleBucket was launched in its’ entirety on Friday.  Xebidy has been lucky enough to be involved in this project since the beginning.

SwuzzleBucket is an online advertising network aimed exclusively at the New Zealand and Australian ‘backpacker’/adventure/budget travel market.  SwuzzleBucket has signed up a network of high profile websites and Internet Cafes to display SwuzzleBucket advertisements.  The first sites to be launched are the BASE Backpackers Global Gossip Internet cafes and the Backpackers World Travel Global Gossip Internet Cafes.  Together these alone account for over 500,000 unique customers annually across 275 computers.  The next site expected to be displaying ads online is the new Oz Experience website that is currently nearing completion in the Xebidy studio.

SwuzzleBucket has immediately started serving over 1 million ad impressions per month and has some great advertisers on-board committing to 3 and 6 month campaigns.  By advertising with the SwuzzleBucket network an operator, accommodation supplier etc can increase their exposure directly to their target market at a fraction of the cost of alternative advertising media.

Xebidy developed both the new website and the ad serving software based on the Open X Open Source solution.  The branding and launch design was completed by Fluid Designs also in Queenstown.
