Page 12: How to get rapid traction for your app' - Diego Meller at App Promotion Summit Berlin
Page 13: How to get rapid traction for your app' - Diego Meller at App Promotion Summit Berlin

1. Thou app shalt not suck

Everything that comes after useless otherwiseSolve a problem, improve on another app.

Don’t invent new UX, just copy what works.Viral and social built into the app.Test it before spending money!

2. App Store Optimised

Page 15: How to get rapid traction for your app' - Diego Meller at App Promotion Summit Berlin

3. Measure properly

Page 18: How to get rapid traction for your app' - Diego Meller at App Promotion Summit Berlin

3. Measure properly

In-app tracking ≠ Marketing AttributionUse MAT, AdEven, Ad-x, Appsflyer

Don’t use “others”Track post install events

Look at the install and events funnel

Page 19: How to get rapid traction for your app' - Diego Meller at App Promotion Summit Berlin

4. Set an objective

Page 20: How to get rapid traction for your app' - Diego Meller at App Promotion Summit Berlin

4. Set an objective

Market Share? Category Leader?1,000,000 users? $ 1,000,000 in revenues?

Viral traction / “x” K factor?

To be in the “top of the rankings” is NOT an objective

Page 21: How to get rapid traction for your app' - Diego Meller at App Promotion Summit Berlin

5. Only spend CPI or CPA

Page 22: How to get rapid traction for your app' - Diego Meller at App Promotion Summit Berlin

5. Spend only CPI/CPA

Focus on building a kick ass appA lot of companies focusing on optimisingIf you are measuring post-install, CPI ideal

You eliminate acquisition funnel risk

Install -> EventImpression -> Click ->
