MENLO PAK, CA, Ifeelgoods, an award-winning marketing and technology leader in digital goods incentives that drive sales and social media engagement, today announced it has secured $6.5 million in a Series A round of funding led by Idinvest Partners, a leading European venture capital firm. Ifeelgoods also welcomed the participation of seed-round investor Tugboat Ventures. Ifeelgoods will use this new capital to extend its market leadership and expand its digital goods incentives solutions to better serve existing customers as well as reach customers in new vertical and international markets.

Since launching in September 2010, Ifeelgoods has been on the forefront of technological and marketing innovation in digital goods and social media marketing. It has signed more than 20 brand-name customers, including 1-800-Flowers.com, Gap, Gamefly.com, Ice.com, Meijer, Shopping.com, FTD and La Redoute.

These leading brands have implemented Ifeelgoods solutions to leverage digital goods, beginning with Facebook Credits, as an incentive for purchases, online advertising, Facebook fan acquisition, email signups and Twitter marketing. Ifeelgoods' clients are seeing success with this new marketing strategy. Shopping site ShopAtHome.com has added 1.3 million new Facebook fans since mid-December. Shoebuy.com incorporated a Facebook Credits incentive into its Facebook ads and saw its click-through rate double. And, Ice.com's campaign to acquire Facebook fans with a Facebook Credits incentive was its best social media campaign to date.
