This document discusses re-engagement campaigns for mobile apps. It notes that most apps see high dropout rates, with only 22% of downloaded apps opened once and 5% continuing use after 6 months. Re-engagement campaigns aim to reconnect with inactive users through targeted push notifications, emails, and mobile ads. Unlike web ads, mobile ads typically lack user data for customization. The document then outlines how re-engagement suppliers can implement segmented, deep-linked mobile ads using unique user identifiers from app events and real-time bidding exchanges. It stresses the importance of early re-engagement efforts to reduce user acquisition costs and increase user engagement and conversions over time.

So you have acquired some users
• User acquisition on mobile is hard
• Getting organic traction is even harder
3. @jampp / @diemel
By some miracle you achieve a large number of
users that install your app… what happens next?
This is the
app you’re
looking for…
4. @jampp / @diemel
Users don’t stick around
• 22% of downloaded
apps are only opened
once
• Only 5% of users
continue using apps
after 6 months
I will never
open your app
again!
5. @jampp / @diemel
What can I do about it?
An app that
makes you
want to use it
again :-)
Push
notifications,
e-mail, etc.
I ANNOY YOU!

What are re-engagement campaigns?
15 years ago on the web
Banners would take you always to home page
7. @jampp / @diemel
Today on web…
• Ads know what you’ve been looking at and searching
• You see relevant content and increase CTR
• Ads take you directly to the thing you are interested in.
Stalked, I mean
re-targeted.
10. @jampp / @diemel
Today on mobile
• Every ad takes you to the “app
home page”
!
• Ads are not customised to the
user search or browsing
history
OMG this
banner is as
dumb as this
photo!
11. @jampp / @diemel
You’ll need re-engagement
for m-commerce.
By 2020,
smartphones/tablets
will account for more
than 75% of global e-
commerce and more
than 50% of spend.
I can shop
with my phone
while I drink beer
on my own!
12. @jampp / @diemel
So why am I not doing it?
• NO COOKIES!!
• No historic device ID and
usage information
• No way to systematically give
info to re-engagement
