3. Measure properly

Page 18: The 8 Commandments of App Marketing (App Promotion Summit Berlin 2013)

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: The 8 Commandments of App Marketing (App Promotion Summit Berlin 2013)

4. Set an objective

Page 20: The 8 Commandments of App Marketing (App Promotion Summit Berlin 2013)

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: The 8 Commandments of App Marketing (App Promotion Summit Berlin 2013)

5. Only spend CPI or CPA

Page 22: The 8 Commandments of App Marketing (App Promotion Summit Berlin 2013)

5. Spend only CPI/CPA
