The Mobile Relationship: It’s Personal

Our Mobile Reality: Decreasing Retention Rates

Thinking Beyond The Install

Are  you  over-­‐valuing  Installs,  and  under-­‐valuing  Reten/on?  

Several Ways to Increase Retention

•  A  friendly  and  useful  User  Experience  •  Leveraging  Analy/cs  and  Metrics  •  Effec/vely  use  Push  No/fica/ons  •  Allow  for  strong  social  sharing  

Leveraging Loyalty & Rewards

A  new  breed  of  solu/ons  are  coming  to  mobile  apps  to  capture  and  reward  a_en/on.  You  can  now  reward  your  users  for  engaging  with  your  app  the  way  YOU  want  them  to,  and  ul/mately  increase  user  reten/on.  

Loyalty & Rewards: Isn’t it Cheating?

Loyalty  programs  have  become  a  part  of  everyday  life:      

Loyalty & Rewards: Advertiser Hesitancy

The  devalua/on  of  an  ad  impression  against  an  

incen/vized  experience  is  archaic  and  short-­‐sighted.
