For many developers, going D2C with their mobile games is a dream as it is the ultimate way to kill a big part of the sales costs, but visitors often lack and so turnovers are very small. For Sandlot however, D2C might become a very important channel.
For Sandlot, going D2C is much more easy then for many of the pure players in mobile gaming. Sandlot has been around for a long time already in the PC / Online games market and so consumers already know how to find Sandlot for their gaming fun.
In a deal recently struck with Movaya, Sandlot now will be enabling their consumer base to buy mobile version of their games directly of the Sandlot website. The portfolio which will be powered by Movaya’s platform will feature Cake Mania and Slyder amongst others.
“Now consumers have a very easy, instantaneous way to get the most popular Sandlot Games’ on their phones,” said Daniel Bernstein, founder and CEO of Sandlot Games. “Movaya’s e-commerce mobile game solution is a great fit for our online store and we expect it will dramatically improve sales of our mobile titles.”
“Movaya is focused on the off-deck distribution of mobile games in the U.S. via websites and WAP sites,” said Phil Yerkes, CEO of Movaya. “By taking advantage of our mobile game distribution platform, Sandlot Games can expand its mobile game sales opportunities by offering customers a user-friendly experience directly from their own website.”
