QR codes are essential for bridging offline, desktop, CTV, and mobile experiences, but scaling their creation and measurement is a challenge. Adjust's bulk QR code generation automates production of thousands of unique, deep-linked codes via spreadsheet upload or API, each customizable for brand identity. Embedded attribution data provides granular insights into scans, installs, and post-install events.
The system supports dynamic updates through underlying short links, allowing code repurposing without reprinting. A case study from Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Limited demonstrates success: Pantaloons brand scaled offline-to-app campaigns across hundreds of stores, achieving store-level reporting and empowering retail staff. Key takeaways: non-technical marketers can operate independently, deep linking ensures seamless user journeys, and comprehensive measurement enables optimization at every level.
QR codes are no longer just connectors but strategic levers for growth, personalization, and competitive advantage in mobile marketing.
Seamless linking and UX are critical but often overlooked drivers of mobile growth. As user journeys become omnichannel and cross-platform, broken links cause drop-offs and lost revenue. Deep linking boosts conversions by 20–30%, and owned channels are 3–4x more cost-efficient with 2x higher retention when integrated well. Marketers must prioritize linking infrastructure to ensure every click delivers a smooth experience, ultimately increasing app adoption, retention, and LTV.
Shopping app installs rose 16% YoY in 2024 but fell 18% in H1 2025, while sessions climbed, signaling a shift to higher-quality users. LATAM showed strong growth (installs +18%, sessions +27%). Marketplace apps lead engagement with 24.8% day-1 retention. Global CPI for e-commerce dropped to $0.99 in Q1 2025, with North America highest at $2.70. Key trends include quick commerce ($195B projected), voice commerce ($151.4B), AI chatbots, privacy-first personalization, and D2C mobile investment.
Adjust Growth Copilot, an AI-powered tool, helps app marketers quickly assess campaign performance, identify data anomalies, optimize channel efficiency, discover top creatives, forecast spend, and uncover funnel trends.

Conversion Rules by Adjust gives ad ops teams customizable fraud prevention logic beyond fixed filters. It validates installs and events based on business-specific thresholds like app version, region, store source, device trust, and post-install behavior. Three rule types—device-level, skip source, and post-install activity—allow real-time enforcement without engineering effort. This ensures misaligned traffic is stopped before attribution, improving accuracy and budget efficiency. For ad ops decision-makers, it means more precise measurement and protection from non-fraudulent but unusable traffic.
Japan's finance app category is outperforming, with H1 2026 installs up 8% YoY and sessions up 40%—nearly 5x the install growth and well ahead of global figures (5% and 29%). Stock trading is the standout subvertical: installs +90% YoY and average session length climbing to 11.7 minutes, driven by NISA reforms and a retail investor resurgence. Retention is improving across the full 30-day curve (D1 17% to 19%, D30 7% to 8%). For ad ops teams, the takeaway is clear: prioritize measurement depth, re-engagement, and channel-level quality over top-of-funnel volume alone.
Adjust's Growth Copilot streamlines UA manager workflows by unifying fragmented data, automating insights, and proactive recommendations.

The tool transforms reactive UA into proactive decision-making, allowing teams to focus on strategy. For ad ops decision-makers, this means faster, data-driven growth with less operational friction.

Available free to all Adjust clients, these dashboards aim to increase team flexibility, speed, and data-driven decision-making by allowing teams to tailor performance views to their specific business models.
