Users are at different stages of their journey and many need help along the way
3 Simple Steps to Success!
★ Create your Customer Journeys
★ Segment & Track Users between Milestones
★ Communicate with User Segments to move
them forward on their journey

#AppRetentionTO
Step 1. Create your Customer Journeys
The Devil in the Details of Analytics. It is Hard!
★ Acquisition: Users acquired via. Facebook in March …
• still listening to 2 or more tracks every month after that, but has not shared a playlist
• since purchased 1 album, but not active for the past 30 days
★ Retention:
• Users who has listened to 30+ tracks the past 90 days, but have not launched the app in the past 10 days
★ Actions combined with Inactions
• Users who registered, but haven’t listened to a single track within X minutes/hours or days since registration
• Users who added to their shopping cart, but have not purchased, broken down by prior customers or not
★ Churned? Legacy Versions?
• Users who’ve previously purchased but now UNINSTALLED the App
• Users who are active on older versions of the app 2 months after the new version has been launched
★ … and many more combinations to uncover different milestones of your customer journey ...

#AppRetentionTO
Step 2. Segment & Track Users between Milestones
Never Purchased
New Users
Buyers
Uninstalled
(Churned)
Male Users
Female Users
Very Rarely
★ Trended over time
★ Analyzed for acquisition source
★ Analyzed for Geography, Reachability
★ … and more ...
Most Segmentation Stops at the Surface

#AppRetentionTO
★ Timely
• to capture the fleeting mobile moment
★ Contextual, hence relevant

Put it out data to everyone in
your company – to receive
insightful questions or have
the next great idea.
PROVIDE ACTIONABLE DATA TO ALL
Decide on significant metrics
to make public, and share
them with your users
MARK YOUR MILESTONES
Every data point should
answer a question today or in
future.
COLLECT SMART DATA
Allow regular exploration of
the data without expectation.
The new insights will surprise
you.
LEAVE ROOM FOR SERENDIPITY
Focus on company-wide
KPIs (key performance
indicators) and constantly
ask how your work
contributes to them
MEASURE SUCCESS AGAINST BENCHMARKS
Instead of looking at potholes
in the rear-view mirror, think
about fixing the road ahead.
BE PROACTIVE VS REACTIVE
Work backwards to
track data for actionable
insights later.
START WITH QUESTIONS
Reports should be set
up once and refreshed as
necessary; analysis
time focused on answering
questions.

CONCLUSION
• Incorporate gathered insights and analysis into real-
time decision making.
• Development strategy should be built
around metrics.
• Features designed & built are determined by
outcomes of testing.
• Marketing campaigns - measured and optimized -
winners replicated & losers terminated.
• Determining product roadmap based on user data is
as close to letting your customers make decisions.
• Every day in your app, users vote about how
it should be improved through their
intentions, interactions and, wallets.
• How well is your organization set up to listen?
