A Comprehensive Approach to Boosting User Acquisition, Retention, and Monetization Through AI-Driven Insights and Personalized Marketing
Let’s take an example of a music streaming app on the iOS App marketplace.
The app is free to download and has 3 paid tiers (Starter, Professional, and Premium). On the free plan, the app utilizes an ad revenue model by showing ads for users who have not yet subscribed to the paid plan. Subscribers also have an option to purchase in-app exclusive content.
Overall, the app has multiple ways to monetize the user (via subscriptions or ad revenue and in-app purchases). Still, the revenue model fails to reach profitability:
What levers can the app pull to grow faster and more profitably?
The app needs to show interactive in-app messages to incentivize users to convert to paid plans. This must be done via personalized messages - either offering reverse trials or emphasizing the feature benefits of going to paid.
You can do it with personalization campaigns tracking lift or A/B testing, watching for statistical significance to optimize the experience further.
Churn is the primary metric needing improvement for retention optimization. Many app users stop using the app because they fail to form a habit & experience the actual value of the services. The main tactics to tackle this are as follows:
The app needs to increase stickiness (DAU/MAU) so it can monetize the free app users (Ad Revenue per Free User ) and subscribed (in-app purchases) more effectively.
With many business leaders at a crossroads, the new direction is clear—precision and efficiency to manage the customer's lifecycle.
