Hi Creators,

 

2022 was a tough year for everyone and we greatly appreciate your continued dedication. Thank you for your time, energy and talent. You make IMVU an amazing place to be and we couldn’t do it without you.

 

Despite ongoing challenges faced by the gaming industry, such as record inflation and users stepping away from their computers, Q1 2023 saw improvements over the previous quarter.

 

We are focused on bringing in new users and increasing user engagement, both of which increase Credit Spending in Creator shops. Our Quest campaigns are driving users to jump into the game and shop for products.

 

We are also continuing to develop scripted products, currently in alpha, which will allow users to do even more in IMVU Desktop rooms. Eventually, Creators will be able to make scripted products, and sell them in their catalogs.

 

And of course, we are building upon the newest type of products Creators can make - non-fungible tokens (NFTs). NFT creation will be open to all Creators later this year. This will be a brand new stream of revenue, in addition to regular catalog items.

 

As you’ve probably seen, every NFT item we’ve released has sold out in minutes. This is a huge opportunity and we encourage Creators to take part as soon as the feature launches. More information can be found here: https://help.imvu.com/s/article/Creating-NFT-Exclusives

  • In Q1 2023, Creators were paid $2,495,605, down 1% from the previous quarter
  • NEW! Credit spend in the catalog increased 9% Q1 2023 vs. Q4 2022
