Almost 1 Million Boarding Passes Were Bought During the First Blockchain Advertising Auction Taking Place on AdEx

Propy’s team is thrilled to announce the participation in the very first blockchain-based auction for advertising inventory. After biding, we managed to buy almost a million ad spaces on the boarding passes of a major airline. The auction took place on the AdEx mainnet, and Ink provided the boarding passes.

Earlier this month, Propy released the open beta web-version of the global property store, enabling real estate market participant to list and look for properties. Consequently, we took the opportunity to advertise our product to a desired target group — property investors, who are known to travel a lot. Imagine now, nearly a million of travellers will be tackled to check our platform online and look for their next investment deal, talk to the seller, reserve it, or even buy it. All these 790 000 boarding passes are at the cost smaller than regular digital marketing expenses (PPC) for a real estate ad. It is a very significant leap ahead for the real estate advertising industry, and we are grateful to AdEx team invitation to take part of it.
