4 steps to mobile app retention

Information may not be reliable

“It’s like Uber…but for your shoes!”

There I was, sitting in another business pitch competition when the umpteenth developer walked up to the podium to show off their revolutionary new mobile app idea. “Just swipe here, tap here, navigate here, sign in here with your name, address, date of birth, name of first born child…blah, blah, blah”

Next.

Mobile app development has been around for over 10 years, and yet, with millions of innovative, creative, fun and useful apps to download, mobile smartphone users spend 84% of their time using just five non-native apps.

1.Start Learn – Build an MVP that will satisfy 80% of your target market’s needs and worry about the bells and whistles later. A lot of apps get bogged down with unnecessary fluff that creates confusion or even worse, bugs. Obviously, your development team should be debugging during the acceptance period.

2. Simplify the Onboarding Process – There’s a reason that dads like me throw out the manual when we get a new toy, we just want to use it. Similarly, with mobile applications, I don’t want to spend a ton of time trying to figure out how to navigate your app. In a 2016 case study by Localytics and Slice, retention rates went up 50% after implementing a solid onboarding process

3. Keep Your App Fresh/Updated – I’ll be honest, when checking out a new app, I first look at the user reviews and then I note when the last update took place. As rapidly as technology and user demands change, so too should your app. There are several theories on how often you should update, but the most successful apps release updates between 1-4 times per month. Keeping your users engaged doesn’t just mean working out the bugs, it also means fresh content.

4. Listen to Your Users – With any business, the hardest part is getting customers/users, but now that your app has users, you must have a rock-solid customer engagement strategy in place to keep your customers/users. If you look at a traditional marketing funnel, then you know this means loyalty programs and incentives, ancillary products and/or services and referral bonuses, among others. In the world of mobile app development, you should be combining the traditional with the uniqueness of your digital brand to create a personalized experience for your users.

Users want to know that you’re listening to them, and while you don’t need to respond to every negative review, you should, at a minimum, be using the 80/20 rule (aka the Pareto principle) to address the most critical issues

As with any good marketing strategy, be sure to coordinate with your team well in advance of your launch date and make sure the communication pipeline is wide open and active. After all, if your team is not engaged, why should you expect your users to be engaged?
