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...

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.

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? ...
