The consumer journey

First thing is first, you need to understand the steps that your potential user goes through when installing your app or making a purchase via it. Use it to your advantage in order to understand what makes them tick.

The right type of tagging

Before moving forward with trying to increase app downloads, make sure that all tracking codes associated with FB pixel, Google AdWords and Firebase (Or any other tracking service) are properly implemented so that you know what works where and how you should respond to the audience.

Key Platforms in digital strategy for mobile apps

Next, you need to figure out what platforms work best for you in terms of identifying a digital strategy for your mobile app. Ideally you should be there on all platforms where your potential user is. However, here is how we think different platforms bifurcate based on our experience:

Facebook and Instagram

These two become your key platforms for communication, however consider dividing these platforms into two functions – 1) communicating with existing users and 2) creating awareness in front of potential new users. The former in this can be established by creating a custom audience based on your app users using the Facebook pixel on your app. Identify key people such as app users, frequent openers or those who make a purchase. Then, create a lookalike audience based on these parameters to create an audience of people who would potentially be interested in your mobile app – thus achieving the latter part of the above two points.

Google UAC

One of the best ways you can increase your app’s downloads at a comparatively lower cost is by using Google’s UAC or Universal App Campaign. This AI based campaign is designed to get you the best number of downloads at the best rates. All you have to do is plug in creative assets including text ads, banner ads and YouTube video ads and UAC will take care of everything else for you. In our experience, we have seen a drop of 100% cost per download when using UAC.
