Mobile measurement & marketing analytics for Shopping apps – The complete guide

By [email protected]·Jun 25, 2021·12 min read

The article emphasizes the critical role of mobile shopping apps in driving brand loyalty, engagement, and sales, with 3x higher conversion than mobile web. Key challenges include securing loyalty, mobile measurement under privacy changes (ATT), fraud (11% fake installs), personalization, and connecting multi-touchpoint journeys. Solutions involve granular measurement, event mapping, deep linking, uninstall measurement, fraud protection, multi-touch attribution, incrementality, and predictive analytics.

Best practices for user acquisition include cohort analysis, long-term ROI, seasonal targeting, personalization, audience segmentation, and increasing ATT opt-in rates. For re-engagement, focus on deep linking, owned media, remarketing timing, dynamic ads, and preventive remarketing. Ultimately, granular measurement is foundational for profitability and success.

Mind the gap – bridging the divide between high ATT opt-in and low IDFA collection rates

Despite high ATT opt-in rates near 50%, IDFA collection lags because 55% of apps haven't deployed the prompt. Over 30% of iOS devices are restricted or ex-LAT, limiting measurement. Deploying ATT can double consent rates to 24%, improving attribution and ROI.

Strong open rates, weak app revenue: your email campaign isn’t broken. Your links are.

Email, SMS, and push are high-intent channels, but a structural gap between click and in-app action causes massive drop-off. CTRs of 30-40% often yield only 1-3% in-app conversion. The root cause is ESP link wrapping, which breaks deep link context and attribution. Fixing the handoff through proper deep linking can double purchase rates and unlock channel performance. Brands must treat the link as a continuation layer, not a redirect, and ensure context survives the transition.
