2017 Highlights
HAVE YOU SEEN OUR NEW LANDING PAGE?
October - ongoing
We are always looking for new ideas to improve the website
and make it more interesting for our members.
Thanks to your precious feedback, we have updated our landing pages to not only
reflect what Toluna is all about, but to also make it easier for users to understand how
to use our website. We have already updated most of our pages but if you don't yet see
this design, please know that we are working on launching it in your language as soon
as possible.
NEW FRIEND REFERRAL FEATURE
November
We have recently optimised our Referral program
to include a shareable link; making it a lot easier to invite
friends to Toluna.com. Now, you can simply copy/paste
the referral link and share it on the platform of your
choice.
Once your friend has successfully joined, you will receive
500 bonus points for each referral (points limited to 10
new friends per month)

and Updates
WE SAID GOODBYE TO OUR GIFTIES
PROGRAM
July
After 5 years and 7546 winners, we have decided to
put an end to our Gifties program that seemed to be
losing in momentum. Don"t worry, we are working hard
to replace it with something that you will be sure to
enjoy.
LAUNCH OF TOLUNA EVENTS
May
Toluna launched a whole new and fun way to share your
opinion and earn points. These exclusive forums are only
open for a short period to small groups with specific
interests. To be selected to participate, simply answer our
short surveys in the Survey Centre. If your profile
corresponds, you will receive an exclusive invite to the
forum you qualified for.
END OF MOBILE CONTENT BONUS
May
Since the launch of our latest mobile app in 2015, we have
credited bonus points for the 1st content created via the
app. This bonus was no longer needed, as we are already
awarding points for all quality content created on Toluna,
regardless of device.
Please note that you will still be receiving an extra
500 points for every survey you complete via our mobile
app so don't forget to download it.

A news
Toluna Relay Race
Easy way to get in touch and earn 5,000 points
As you might have seen we started a new contest!
Relay Race is a race where members need to
collaborate. Each member participates in only a set
part of the race carrying a baton before passing it onto
the next runner.
Toluna Relay race is about creating contests and
passing the opportunity to win 5,000 points among our
community.
Toluna announced 1st contest
creator, a member who needed to
create own contest with specific rules,
during following 3 days this member
found and announced one winner.
This 1st winner created another
contest, found and announced the
2nd winner. This 2nd winner again
created another contest and
announced the 3rd winner...
Important: The winner only receives
5,000 points once he/she creates
his/her own CONTEST.

Winners
6 members participated in our Toluna Relay Race so far and we would like
to show you their nice contests
kristilreyes
Christmas mood was everywhere around
and in our 1st contest kristilreyes was
asking our community about Christmas
related questions. Have a look at it.
More than 139 members participated in the very
first Relay Race and we could see our dear
kristilreyes kicked off this race in a great style!
Oficially first winner of this contest
was sheila_anne.
sheila_anne
As the 1st winner came up with an idea to post
a picture and ask our members Who is this person on
the picture? Is it Secret Santa? Santa´s assistant?
Mrs. Claus? Many of you were guessing but only one
member could win. In this case benphilip became
the 2nd winner and we were happy to see how much
you are enjoying every race.
benphilip found a really creative way to
entertain you. The goal of this contest was to
find 2 movies in following emoji. Would you be
able to find an answer? To be honest? ME?
NOT AT ALL! We were so proud of every
member who found the right answer.
Christmas story & It's a wonderful life were two
right answers and congratulations goes

The Best App Book
Website
Quote
4th winner mary 541 asked us What is the best app, website, book,
quote, song and movie that you have discovered. We received so
many comments and interesting ideas like: which book to read, Song
which song to sing, which movie to watch, which app to download + use
and quotes to think about! We do really appreciate this Relay Race idea
because it is not only fun and entertaining but it also brings priceless Movie
information.

You’re awesome!
Together we collected and donated a total of $7890 to the International Red
Cross, to help those affected by natural disasters.
Seeing the engagement of our communities is
heartwarming. You are the reason why Toluna

Do you donate to local charities?
The generosity and kindness of our members inspired us to start
