Influencer marketing drives app growth by building trust and authenticity beyond traditional UA. Budgeting should start with target markets, CPM benchmarks, and a 25% uplift in daily organic installs. Choose creators based on data: audience demographics, recent views, and content alignment. Measure performance with granular attribution links (e.g., AppsFlyer OneLink) to track installs, conversions, and ROI. Avoid vanity metrics; focus on CVR, retention, and long-tail effects. Start with small campaigns to gather benchmarks before scaling.

To reduce app uninstalls, focus on user-centric onboarding, consistent value delivery, and optimized performance. Personalize engagement through behavior-based push notifications and in-app experiences. Use proactive communication to re-engage dormant users, and leverage social proof to build trust. Avoid app fatigue by balancing communication frequency. Analyze uninstall data to identify churn patterns, encourage habit formation with streaks or daily rewards, and reward loyal users with exclusive perks. These strategies, supported by MMP analytics, help create an app experience users want to keep.
