Image
If you are interested in mobile marketing but haven’t used any type of tracking method, it can create a lot of frustration because you may not know where the traffic that you generate is coming from. You are aware of apps being downloaded and of your advertising campaigns or promotions, but don’t know specifically where the best users are coming from. You also don’t know which advertising campaign is, in fact, getting you the most engaged users (i.e., actual users who utilise your app rather than just the users that downloaded your app). Fortunately, CleverTap ‘s integration with Apptrove now solves this challenge.

Broken Deep Linking for Mobile Apps Is Quietly Breaking Your App Growth

Most Mobile Campaigns Don’t Fail at the Click. They Fail Right After It. Deep linking for mobile apps makes the process of redirecting users from one page to another smooth, without any extra steps. When users click on an advertisement, they expect to see a product, an offer, or an individual piece of content associated with that link. Instead, they’re taken to the generic home page of your app and must manually find all of the content they were looking for. It may seem like such a minor event; however, it can drastically change the outcome of an entire conversion path. User drop-off. Attribution may be confused. Paid media campaigns will appear less profitable than they really are for this reason, leading some growth teams to spend more than needed to recover what would normally have converted. This is where deep linking for mobile apps starts to redefine the game. Within this report, Apptrove highlights how deep linking for mobile apps impacts the entire user journe...

New on Apptrove: A Flexible Dynamic Link Plan for Firebase Migrators

The deprecation of Firebase Dynamic Links has left a pretty clear and immediate gap for many different teams. Some teams have a straightforward need, like a reliable deep-linking solution to create and manage deep links without adding complexity, while others also require deep linking to enhance their performance visibility and thus see the replacement of Firebase as an opportunity to gain more insight into user behavior and installs. In both situations, there is a need that is not for a one-size-fits-all solution, but for flexibility. Through the Dynamic Link Plan, Apptrove introduces a more flexible approach to deep linking. Teams can use Apptrove solely to create and route Unilinks, or they can extend their use of Apptrove to include reporting and attribution, as per their team’s needs. Let’s Understand the Shift Firebase Dynamic Links was widely adopted because it solved a focused problem: deep linking without operational overhead. Its deprecation has ...

Funnel Analysis: The Smartest Way to Understand Why Users Convert or Drop Off

Image
Each journey a user takes through your website has a story. Some visitors come to the site, wander about, toss many items into their shopping basket, then vanish away like a disappearing magic show. Whereas those visitors who waltz right through the whole process and safely finish the whole process have been completely removed from the funnel. The ability to analyse each of these user journeys (funnel analysis) is where funnel analysis really starts to shine. As of this writing, businesses of all kinds are overwhelmed with digital data. Whether it is website clicks, mobile app installs, session counts, sales results, registrations to services or app downloads – numbers are everywhere. However, when there is no direction for a number, it is meaningless – and numbers are just digital wallpaper. This is why funnel analysis has become one of the key methods for helping businesses understand user behaviour, increase  conversion rates,   and  reduce user drop-offs. Funnel analy...

Call to Action (CTA)

If you have ever clicked the “Download Now” button on the ad for any mobile application or clicked the “Start Your Free Trial” button on a website or anything that shows “Join 10 Million Users Today”, then you have responded to a call to action. If you are involved with app marketing, you have written these types of prompts for users, whether you have called them what they really are or not. This glossary will help you understand the full meaning of a CTA in marketing, including what it is and why it is so important in the app ecosystem, how to write a good CTA, as well as some examples of good CTAs and how they calculate conversion rates against CTVs.  What is a Call to Action?  A Call to Action (CTA) is a type of prompt to tell a potential customer what you would like them to do next. This could be written as one word or phrase (such as “Download”), a button (such as “Start”, or “Join”), or an in...

How to Use the Re-Targeting Feature in Apptrove to Win Back Lapsed Users?

Image
Acquiring a new user can cost 5-7 times as much as getting a user who has previously installed your application to return. The majority of marketing budget is generally allocated toward acquisition campaigns, however, re-targeting helps to correct this imbalance. Apptrove allows users to perform re-targeting with the same measurement precision and communication as traditional acquisition campaigns.  In this guide we will walk you through every step of using Apptrove’s re-targeting feature including how it works, how to set it up, where you can access results and how to ensure that a user who returns generates revenue beyond simply reinstalling and then un-installing again. Before you begin, make sure your Apptrove SDK is fully integrated and your in-app events are being tracked. Re-targeting in Apptrove runs on behavioural signals, and the richer your event data, the more precisely you can identify and recover lapsed users. How Does Re-Targeting Work in Apptrove? ...
