Our Mobile Reality: Decreasing Retention Rates
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: Advertiser Hesitancy
The devalua/on of an ad impression against an
incen/vized experience is archaic and short-‐sighted.
