  • #212: Gamify your loyalty: the secret to mobile engagement with Thomas Yannopoulos, VP of Revenue, Americas at adjoe
    Sep 23 2024

    Running app marketing campaigns, marketers have several goals - I’m sure you know them better than the fingers of your hand.

    So, it is to find new users for the app, convince them to install the app and…what’s new next? Right - make sure they are engaged with the app and do with it what you expect them to, thinks like placing orders, signing up, subscribe and so on.

    In this episode, we want to talk about app engagement and to share with you what actually works, we have Tommy.

    Today’s Topics Include:
    • Tommy's background
    • About Adjoe
    • Loyalty and engagement trends in consumer behavior
    • Balancing between personalization and user privacy
    • Emerging impactful app engagement trends or techs to anticipate

    Quotes from Thomas Yannopoulos:

    "Not necessarily a change in behavior as much as it is a change in accessibility as to how users interface with loyalty programs today.

    We'll take an example of a partner like ours, which is Fetch. So Fetch rewards is the largest shopping and rewards platform in all of the U S today. They have something like 12 to 14 million weekly active users. So it's just an enormous app. And historically they focused on CPG partnerships. So if you want to box a general mills cereal, you can go to your local store, grab that cereal, take a snapshot of the receipt and you can earn some Fetch points in exchange for that behavior. \

    Now, what we did when we talked to Fetch was we made them aware of the fact that likely the majority of the users were also gamers. When we think about gaming tendencies in the US, I think over 60 % of all smartphones have a game on them and over 43 % of all time spent on the smartphone in the US is spent playing mobile games."

    "I think we're squarely of the belief that consent is consent in our space. And we as a business pride ourselves on the fact that we will never collect any privacy or any data on someone who doesn't consent to us collecting that data. It's related to what they might be doing on their smartphone or their preferences or whatever the case may be. So when you enter our experience for the first time, you're hit with a number of prompts that essentially ask for your consent.

    Users are not obligated to say yes to any of these prompts, but if they do, it enhances our ability to personalize their experience. Personalization, obviously for a platform like ours, and in general for any platform, is I think rather key to success."

  • #211: Mastering mobile product development: data & agility with Jennifer Camacho, Mobile Product Lead at Nespresso
    Sep 9 2024

    Think about it - every single day hundreds of millions of people around the world use mobile apps to do something. From checking a weather forecast to booking their next trip, buying something, or less pleasant things like, for instance, paying their taxes. Every app developer wants to keep her or his app users happy.

    But in real life, your idea of the best experience for your app users doesn’t always match with what they think the best one should look like. So how do you fix that? That’s a good question and today Jennifer will share her experience of doing that.

    Today’s Topics Include:
    • Jennifer's background
    • About Nespresso
    • Aligning product development with evolving customers' expectations
    • The balance between using data-driven insights and staying agile and responsive to unexpected challenges
    • Strategies to fostering collaboration and alignment across different teams
    • Android or iOS?

    Quotes from Jennifer Camacho:

    "Yeah, as you said, it's a balance. We are experts in coffee. So that's our greatest asset and the most important piece that we want to communicate about that product. But then there are industry standards for things that people are accustomed to doing. So we are not trying to reinvent the wheel when it comes to, for example, purchasing processes or presenting the most convenient ways of paying because that's already set as a standard."

    "As you may know, we have lots of variety in coffees and we're always trying to push the boundaries of exploring new tastes and of allowing people to enjoy coffee from very differentiated parts of the world. So the amount of products that we have sometimes could be intimidating for some people because they may be just starting to understand the world of coffee."

  • #210: Mastering ASA: Proven ASO Strategies with Simon Thillay, Head of ASO at AppTweak
    Sep 2 2024

    Your phone has become an extension of your brain. You store a ton of information on it, you use it to get through your day or to plan something in advance. You’re working on it, you are spending your leisure time with it.

    Every once in a while, when your existing 80-100 iOS apps (this is how much apps we have on our phones these days) aren’t enough and you need a new one, you go to the App Store. When you launch a search query there, the first search result you can see is on a blue background - this is an Apple Search ad.

    Whether you’ve been driving traffic to your iOS app with Apple Search Ads or you never used this paid advertising platform before, today Simon will tell you how to use it efficiently.

    Today’s Topics Include:
    • Simon's background
    • About AppTweak
    • Apple Search Ads overview
    • Balancing between keyword discovery and existing high-performance keywords
    • Using Atlas AI to identify and cluster high-performing keywords for Apple Search Ads campaigns
    • Measuring and mitigating the impact of cannibalization on brand defense campaigns

    Quotes from Simon Thillay:

    "So for those who not familiar, today there are actually four different types of inventories in Apple search ads. The one, I think most people are familiar with and the one you were mentioning in your intro, is search results campaigns, which is basically being able to put an ad at the very top of a search result page and based on what potential customer has just searched for.

    But there's three more that Apple has released over the years. The second one is a search tab. So it's another ad that you can see, before people start typing in the search tab. And it's basically a game of trying to catch the attention and play on other signals to kind of convert there.

    A third one would be the product page, so if people scroll down to the bottom of the page and look at the You Might Also Like section, there will also be an ad in there. But I think the final placement, the final inventory, is the one that gets the most hype these days. It's the Today tab."

    "It may be called a discovery campaign, but the campaign part trumps the discovery part. And in other words, at first, the campaign is going to find keywords that fit the criteria you've set. But once it's found those keywords, unless you give it different instructions, it's going to stay focused on those. It's basically the principle of if it ain't broke, don't fix it. We found something that's working."
