Unless you’re one of the .01% of apps that climb to the top of the charts through an amazing mix of brilliance, luck, and timing, you know that growing your install base is a mix of rigorous paid campaigns and organic strategies.
Yet, most don’t realize that these two are not separate. That’s because the mobile ecosystem bears little resemblance to the web — in the web context, paid and organic don’t really impact one another. But in the world of mobile, your paid user acquisition efforts can have a significant impact on organic installs. And vice versa.
This is particularly good news for small developers who may think that only a strong balance sheet and deep pockets will get them the brass ring. And equally important for brands and larger organizations; when armed with an understanding of the relationship between paid and organic, they can improve efficiencies and costs on UA efforts.
The correlation is strongly supported by the findings of a recent study conducted by TUNE which set out to quantify exactly what that relationship is. Or, in other words, to find out exactly how many organic installs an app can expect to see for every paid install.
They did determine that number, and it’s quite startling — and it’s what TUNE refers to as the ‘multiplier’. They also found out that there is a big spread in the correlation between different app categories. Some categories have a far higher multiplier effect, and some lower — and those findings impact strategies for both paid and organic.
On the other side of the equation, the compound effect of organic installs can lower your total effective cost of a UA campaign. With a strongly-engaged user base, your funnel metrics will increase, while your total acquisition cost for a campaign should go down.
Exactly how this all works — and how best to make the correlation between paid campaigns and organic installs actionable — is the subject of this not-to-be-missed webinar for any developer or publisher, whether you’re a smaller developer or already well-established.
Ian Sefferman from TUNE will be expanding on the study, explaining the data, and how the correlation works. Christian Calderon from DOTS will be taking attendees through real-life examples of how this plays out, and sharing best practices for maximizing the positive impact between paid and organic — particularly at a smaller business scale.
What you’ll learn:
- For every paid install, how many organic installs an app can expect to see
- How the multiplier effect impacts app categories differently
- How organic installs and engaged users affect your paid strategy and spend
- Best-practice examples on what really works to maximize both organic installs and paid campaigns for highest yield
