PRESENTATION
How to Maximize Paying Subscribers for Your App by Building Excitement During the User Onboarding Process

Nowadays Users don’t read much on mobile devices. You cannot explain unique features of your app, or give them tool tips, because Users want to go straight to Using your app. So, how can you educate Users about the value your app offers?

Grzegorz Swierad, Founder of the Mentorist app, will speak to how they developed a very effective system to maximize conversions from Free Users to Paying Customers through an interactive User Onboarding process. Onboarding is designed to build emotions and excitement for new Users so they activate the trial before they see the full version of the app.

During this presentation, you will learn the techniques and strategies of how to increase conversions for any type of app, and what you should look to incorporate in your app growth strategy.

DISCUSSION PANEL
Using Data to Analyze the Viability of Industry Trends

Trends tell us where market interest is headed, while Data helps us know if these trends are viable and working well. In this expert panel, we'll analyze some new channels, as well as old ones, and gauge performance based on the hard Data. Most importantly, how have our experts utilized limited data post-IDFA, and what's the "new normal" trending post-IDFA? Where are we headed with our performance and results measurement in the future? We'll also dive into some recent trends such as ASA and CTV, and see if Data suggests these trends are worth running toward, running away from, or still too early to tell.

DISCUSSION PANEL
How to Optimise Your UA Efforts With Increasing Channels & Shrinking Budgets

In order to optimise your User Acquisition strategies (paid and organic), you'll need to diversify your paid spend mix, and also sync with your App Store Optimisation (ASO) team since Custom Product Pages have arrived to help us with conversions. Diversification is crucial to success. With many options barking at us to spend shrinking budgets on, how do we know we have the right mix for our business and growth efforts? In addition to our bread-and-butter channels, we must still allocate test budgets...but budgets aren't unlimited. How do we know we have the right mix to include some hot new channels as well as saving some for testing of all sorts from not only channels but also creative testing as well.
