Tips to Increase Mobile App Retention

Know Your Audience

This is where most mobile apps fail. An app that is made for purchasing tickets should be used for that purpose and not for food delivery.

Run a survey and vet your target audience’s age, gender, demography, preferences, etc. This will help gauge your mistakes in retaining your users.

By knowing your audience inside out, you’ll be able to build an app that not only delights your customers buys also builds your brand voice.

Along with that, understand user behavior. If you want to boost the overall retention of your app, you need to know how your audience interacts with your app.

Why are they discarding it? Who are your loyal customers, and what makes them continue your services?

When you’ll do a detailed analysis of your app development process, keeping these points in mind, you’ll have a better idea about retaining your customers.

Easy Sign-Up Process

A majority of an audience will uninstall your app in a minute if they find your app’s “sign up ” process lengthy or uninviting.

On the other hand, Receiving Name, Email id, and phone number might not be enough for some apps; you need to make sure that all additional information can be accessed in the least amount of clicks possible.

Also, apps that require more information have options to sign up directly from Facebook or Google, which reduces the user’s time in answering necessary information.

User-friendly Experience

Some apps serve too many options on the home page. On the other hand, some apps provide little to no options. Both situations are enough for users to uninstall your app.

It’s said that “when in Rome, do as the Romans do,” in the same way, “When you serve any customer, think like the customer.”

Avoid Too Many Ads

Imagine you saw an ad on one platform, you saw the same ad on another platform. The same ad appears to you again and again, and you get tempted to open the Ad.

Now imagine a situation where you see too many ads. You get frustrated and decide never to return to that app.

There’s no denying to say that ads are placed to generate income as most of the time, the installation of an app is free. But too many ads can attribute to the loss of a potential client.

Serve Fresh content

You might be familiar with the concept of marginal utility. Excess of anything reduces the attraction towards that thing.

To keep your customers engaged and keep coming back to you, you need to provide fresh content.

For boosting engagement rate on your app, Use push notifications instead of email.

It’s more useful compared to sending emails as:

  • Push notifications have more visibility.
  • The number of clicks on emails is lesser than the number of leads through push notifications.

Ensure the Awe-inspiring User Experience

You think the customer buys a movie ticket to watch a movie, but he could watch movies at home too? Then why does he invest his time and resources to go to a movie theatre?

The answer is he comes to the theatre not to watch a movie but to experience it. He is paying an amount to feel the ambiance, which otherwise isn’t possible.

In the same way, a customer never buys a service; he buys an experience. You need to create an experience that retains your customer as well as makes them your brand advocates.
