Notes de l'éditeur
Mobile marketers are in charge of a lot these days
Customer journey … user acquisition … customer experience … user engagement
But the biggest and most critical piece: finding and nurturing new customers … new users
There are plenty of ways to do that, but one of the most common: working with ad partners to bring in a stream of new users
Thousands of options … each promising success
Our goal: ensure. you. win.
How? Cheating :-)
Well … not really. But the results are so good … it’s as if you were
To succeed, you need an edge. Better information. Inside scoop.
One place: reports
Released a report a month ago
Data from our top 400 integrated advertising partners
Tens of billions of taps
Billions of app installs
Useful ...
A lot of marketers want benchmarks … can help you compare your own performance with industry standards
CPI?
RPI?
Retention
TUNE
2.2B devices globally
Data we’re looking at today: 45B clicks, 3B installs … from first 9 months of year
So let’s look at a few benchmarks
So, for example … CPI
At volume, we’re seeing numbers like these right now:
$1 for Android
$2 for iOS
For quality users, you’ll pay more ...
$3 for Android
$5 for iOS
Nobody just wants installs anymore
Vanity metric!
Newbie alert!
You want retention. You want revenue. You want actual results.
New users are great. The question is: are those new users sticking around?
And, the benchmarks will tell you that you’ll have:
About 30% of your new users still around after 14 days
Bit of up and down depending on whether they’re iOS/Android
But … a bigger variance on whether they’re organic or paid … stronger predictor of results
More importantly, you want to know … how much revenue can I make with those users?
iOS: $2.50 to $3 in the US in the first 60 days
Android: $1 to $1.50 in the US in the first 60 days
We don’t really want averages
We actually want targets
We want to over-deliver
We want to out-perform
We want to win
As specific and as tailored as possible.
If we’re gonna chea ….
We want a crystal ball
We want the wizard to tell us exactly what to do
Exactly how to have success
Precisely how we’ll win
Good luck with that
We don’t have a crystal ball
We do have big data
We do have the experience and results of thousands of marketers. They’re where you are, they are
… some of whom are remarkably like you
… with goals very similar to your own
Let’s see what that can do for us

Pretending we’re a marketer who’s looking for ad partners
Pretending we have access to a huge amount of data about their capabilities
I’m going to run an example for you as though I’m a marketer with a mobile app, and I’m looking for ad partners. I want to slice and dice and find out who I should be working with. I have a huge amount of data about their capabilities.
Let’s say you’re looking for the best partners for driving mobile app installs, and you really want volume. You can see that GOogle is absolutely massive, and though it’s the long-tail
You’d want to know who the top partners driving volume are, right?
But maybe you just want iOS:
But maybe, global is not all that critical for you …
You actually only need North America, because that’s where 97% of your revenue comes from:
But now you’re thinking … how much are these installs going to cost me?
But maybe, you’re smart. And you realize that different ads are important at different stages in the mobile “buyer’s journey.”
So, you want to use some ad partners who give “install assists.” Whose ads apparently help mobile users make up their mind to install apps:

But now you get even smarter. And you decide that while installs are nice, users who stick around for a while are even nicer
And, by the way, you want retention in your Android app too.

D3 is all fine and good, but you want D14. You think that if you have a user for 14 days, you can build a habit that will last a lot longer.

And you decide that you don’t just want sheer volume of app installs … you want results. You want actual revenue from these installs.
Successful mobile companies … high # of ad partners … regular review and experimentation

No more pretending ...
This is a simple one: who’s using which ad partners the most?
One tap gets you click volume and install volume.
And it’s clear which of 1,000 ad partners will work best for you.
