Mobile app acquisition and engagement is increasingly costly and concentrated in a few dominant channels. Fortunately, a new model is emerging — mobile web and app affiliate marketing — to help you efficiently grow your business at remarkably large scale. Button will explore the ways you can reach users ready to install your app and perform relevant actions, including purchase and subscriptions. Button will share how you can elegantly and effectively reach these users at the moment of maximum intent.

Segment for More Efficient Acquisition
Instead of paying one price for very different customers,
distinguish user types and effectively pay less to re-engage
existing customers than you would spend to acquire a new user.
22. And that is the technology we’re
building for the Button Marketplace.
In August, Button teamed up with Ibotta to launch a solution that allows mobile
app marketers to acquire users more efficiently than any other channels offer.
23. Introducing Button Customer Segments
New Customer Existing CustomerLapsed Customer
Pay only the desired amounts to acquire new customers or re-engage existing ones.
Change deals and spend in real-time to optimize for performance goals.
Every install and transaction is attributed and affiliated to understand top performers.
24. -Bryan Leach, CEO of Ibotta
“No Affiliate network offers such real-time differences in
rewards or commissions based on customer segmentation.
Since launch, there has been over a million dollars weekly in
in-app purchases.”
25. 9 out of 10 consumers received

Targeting to Find Interest Often Backfires
26. Instead, Find Users In Context
We’ve built a level of context matching that
shows Buttons around relevant content.
27. Context Matching
Placement
Show around relevant context, for
example, a location, product, artist,
or venue
Rule Building
Show brands most relevant for the
user -- if your product or inventory
is closer, for example
Modes
Dynamically show different types
of product inventory or experiences
(Modes) based on the content
surrounding them
28. And Find Users in
The Right Time and Place
We’ve build a level of matching that
shows Buttons at the right time and in the
right place.

Different times of day, when your
products are most relevant
Date

31. Customer Segments
Existing Customers
Automatically create segments of your
existing customers so that when your
Button is shown to them, it will be
personalized by their past purchase
behavior.
Lapsed Customers
Reach lapsed customers based on their
time since last purchase to re-engage
them to purchase again
New Customers
Reach new customers with higher
incentives to convert first trial usage
