APP INSTALL CAMPAIGN PROCESS

1 - Campaign planning and strategy

Planning & mobile strategy is the first step in the app advertising media buying process. This is where our mobile media buyers will develop a well-thought-out bespoke advertising media plan. The media plan will address your target audience across different media publishers to maximize return on investment against your marketing objectives. Killer, thumb-stopping Ads should be developed that will convert high-quality users.

2- Bidding and negotiating

The second step is bidding and negotiating. Our media buying agency creates a plan and selects channels/media, negotiates rates with mobile ad networks and then secures the mobile inventory. 

3- Campaign management

Before going live, we deploy pixels to begin data collection or integrate with your mobile attribution platforms such as Kochava, Appsflyer or Google Firebase. A small paid test is performed to confirm that the data is being collected correctly and that no data discrepancies exist. Campaigns are set live and submitted to the ad exchanges.

4- Measuring sales & results

The fourth step is measuring results, which is key to any successful mobile app media buying campaign. Through programmatic technology, real-time campaign data is available, giving transparency to campaign metrics such as click-through rates (CTRs), viewability, reach, impressions, conversion rates, downloads, subscriptions, and in-app purchases. Insights are available via our in-house data-rich analytics suite. 

5- Refining the plan

The fifth step is refining the user acquisition plan. Historical data from the ad campaign will fuel insights to adjust buying decisions and improve machine learning to drive further growth and increase your monthly average users. We analyze results to look at loyalty & retention. Deep links are used to direct traffic to the perfect destination. 

REAL-TIME ANALYTICS & REPORTING

The most critical aspect of real-time reporting for Advant is how data is leveraged for optimisation. This level of reporting allows us to rapidly & dynamically shift dollars from one channel to another. Our media strategists, who work across all channels for a given client, enable these shifts in strategy and budget. Our focus on media agility and cohesive optimisation give Advant a unique stance in a marketplace filled with over-siloed agencies.

There are many benefits of using a mobile specialist digital agency. Digital agencies have the experience and knowledge to help you create engaging and effective marketing campaigns. They can also help you reach a wider audience with your app marketing efforts. Additionally, the best mobile app marketing agency can provide you with valuable insights and feedback about your user acquisition efforts.

Paid user acquisition (UA) is the process of paying to advertise an app or game on UA channels in an effort to drive relevant traffic to an app store and convert new users. The new users who download an app via this journey are known in the industry as ‘paid installs. The most effective paid user acquisition strategies are based on a deep understanding of mobile user behaviour, along with rigorous testing and iteration. At its best, paid user acquisition is a highly efficient way to grow an active user base for a mobile app. However, designing and executing a successful paid UA campaign requires expertise and experience. As a result, many app developers choose to work with a specialized agency that offers UA services. By partnering with a UA agency, developers can focus on building great products while entrusting the user acquisition process to experts.

User acquisition can be a tough nut to crack for businesses. With so much competition, it’s essential to have a strategy that is data-driven and can find trends and patterns that work. Cut out the guesswork with a user acquisition agency that will help you boost app discovery and convince users to install your app. The process of optimization is an essential component of success when it comes to user acquisition. Finding the means to increase your app’s visibility while also providing users with a compelling reason to install it are key ingredients in the recipe for success. Let a user acquisition agency help you take your business to the next level.

In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, it is more important than ever for businesses to have a user acquisition strategy for their mobile app. With billions of active users globally, the potential reach is massive. However, standing out in such a crowded marketplace is no easy feat. That’s where mobile app marketing comes in.
