Tracking, analysis and optimization is a key πŸ”—

Mobile app marketing can be tricky enough for single developers who focus on app development. App promotion and marketing can be a daunting activity which requires a lot of attention. Moreover, the campaign tracking & optimization process has to be in place from the very start. There is no other ideal time than before you start to gain traction. While there are a plethora of in-app analysis tools such as Amplitude, AppMetrica and business intelligence tools such as AppAnnie, campaign management impact on the app success is sometimes underestimated.

How can UTM campaign parameters help with the globalization of mobile apps? πŸ”—

Many mobile app developers and owners do realize the importance of product globalization to increase their app market share. Part of the globalization strategy is localization for different locations, cultures, languages, including marketing. However, many single mobile app developers can not afford localization teams, and they have to decide on how to approach the app localization itself carefully.

One can get easily lost in all different app flavors, microsites, promotion channels and campaigns. Information management is crucial not only for a broad overview but also for launching a robust marketing campaign. UTM parameters serve as a carrier to provide information for analytic tools. Once you have correct data in the analytic tool, you are halfway to desired results.

What should be the primary concern of any single app developer who would like to manage promotion campaigns effectively? πŸ”—

It is so easy to say for yourself: Hey, I will start the campaign now and later on, I will see how it can be improved β€” one of the most dangerous misconceptions. Campaign attribution data are crucial to the campaign success from the very start; otherwise, you are blind, and your critical decisions are based only on guesswork.

Because Firebase Dynamic Links do not support custom campaign attribution on their own, you will need to pass your data to Google Analytics with proper campaign attribution parameters. And here Terminus App comes to help manage consistency of your parameter settings. A common practice was to manage all of those in sheets, but nowadays, the best practice is using a proper UTM builder, like Terminus App.
