Boosting Subscription Revenue with SmartLinks

A Free App Analytics® Growth Success Story | Featuring Foresyte

VERTICAL: Lifestyle/Finance   |   SOLUTION: SmartLinks™

TAKEAWAYS

Foresyte is elevating financial planning by incorporating social calendars and trip planning into their budgeting app, creating a well-rounded lifestyle planning solution. Highly rated in the App Store, Foresyte offers monthly or yearly subscription options after a 30-day free trial.

Challenge

With a focus on subscription-based monetization, the Forsyte marketing team needed a solution to maximize quality user acquisition (UA) optimized toward users that convert from trial uptake to paying subscribers.

Solution

Foresyte first integrated Free App Analytics® (FAA) to consolidate their campaign measurement and attribution across multiple media partners, including TikTok and Apple Search Ads. Rather than jumping from dashboard to dashboard to piece together overall performance, they now had unified omni-channel marketing attribution in one dashboard and a single source of truth. This enabled them to understand which channels, partners, and campaign strategies delivered users most likely to complete free trials and become paying, high lifetime value (LTV) subscribers. From there, they were able to increase their return on ad spend (ROAS) across high performing channels and exponentially grow their overall subscriber base.

On the back of this growth, Foresyte needed to scale, running more campaigns with influencers and affiliate partners, as well as measuring owned media initiatives. Foresyte upgraded their Kochava account for expanded attribution configurability, longer data retention, row-level reporting, and new access to the Kochava SmartLinks™ deep linking suite. SmartLinks enabled Foresyte to create friction-free user journeys for their influencer campaigns and other paid and owned media. They can seamlessly drive users from any device or marketing channel to the App Store to download their app or reengage existing users to bring them back into the app to subscribe. By upgrading from FAA to Kochava’s affordable Foundation plan, Foresyte gained enhanced features and data capacity to support their breakaway growth journey.

Impact

Foresyte is able to dictate the exact point of conversion and accurately determine attribution whether it’s from their website, QR codes, SMS, influencer campaigns, or other media channels. In just 60 days, Foresyte increased their app install growth by 43% and boosted subscriptions by more than 63% month-over-month.

Helping IDT Save Big on User Acquisition Costs

VERTICAL: Finance and Communication   |   SOLUTION: Measurement & Attribution

TAKEAWAYS
idt case study takeaway
idt case study takeaway
idt

Founded in 1990, IDT helps families and friends share and stay connected across borders. Their BOSS Revolution apps have millions of downloads and enable users to make calls across the globe for free or at great rates and send money with
low fees worldwide.

Challenge

To understand how their mobile marketing campaigns drive new user acquisition (UA), the BOSS Revolution marketing team relies on a mobile measurement partner (MMP). An MMP’s role is to capture their omni-channel marketing data and attribute app installs across their various paid media partners, which informs the cost-per-install (CPI) payouts the team makes to each partner. Due to fluctuations in how customers use their mobile apps, their team needed to ensure that the MMP would deduplicate returning users who may have uninstalled the app for a period of time or went dormant over an extended timeframe.

Case Study IDT V

Solution

While cross-comparing multiple MMP offerings, the BOSS Revolution team chose to implement Kochava due to its support for lifetime install deduplication regardless of their chosen data retention range.
Other MMPs only offered install deduplication in line with data retention, which was limited to 90 days to a 1-year maximum. The resulting percentage of BOSS Revolution’s users that would be reattributed (a.k.a. their buyback rate) was estimated to be anywhere between 15-30%. Based on their average CPI and projected growth, use of the other MMPs would mean facing additional ad spend costs to the tune of tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars a month.

Impact

Implementing Kochava as their MMP, BOSS Revolution benefited from lifetime install deduplication. By ensuring they would never pay CPI twice for the same user device, their team was able to save 15-30% of their UA budget, ensuring every ad dollar went toward driving true growth.

Mark Franklin

“Our goal is driving net new growth, so it’s essential that we’re not buying back users we already acquired. It gives us great peace of mind knowing this is built right into the Kochava attribution system.”

Pact Insurance is the first fully digital car insurance provider that supplies instant and affordable coverage over mobile for customers using their iOS and Android apps.

Challenge

Pact Insurance needed a way to gather and view app data to better understand how their users progress as they get started within the app and register for car insurance.

Solution

After integrating the Free App Analytics® (FAA) software development kit (SDK) into both of their apps, Pact Insurance can see into their users’ journey as they move through their app. Pact Insurance implemented event measurement for Install, Registration Complete, Checkout Start, and Purchase, which allows them to understand where their users progress within the engagement funnel. Dissecting each stage of the event funnel, they are able to analyze how their different user acquisition strategies impact user quality and depth of engagement. All of these events come together to tell Pact Insurance a story of how their app is used and which funnel steps can be optimized for stronger engagement.

Fraud Audit Identifies Bad-Acting Networks

VERTICAL: TELECOMMUNICATIONS & FINTECH   |   SOLUTION: FRAUD AUDIT

Fraud Audit graphic
Fraud Audit Graphic

PROBLEM
A worldwide telecommunications and financial wire service company was concerned about performance anomalies in their mobile app acquisition campaigns. Certain key performance indicators (KPIs) seemed over inflated, and post-install engagement with important conversion events was less than desirable. For the marketing team, understanding their true return on ad spend (ROAS) was elusive and they were deeply concerned about ad fraud.

SOLUTION
The company hired Kochava to perform a fraud audit on their attribution data. The primary focus was to analyze click and install data attributed to all ad networks for two of the company’s apps on both iOS and Android platforms. The goal was to uncover any fraudulent activity impacting their campaigns. To determine fraudulent activity, Kochava leveraged their internally developed fraud detection algorithms to process the onboarded attribution data from the company. Kochava data science and client analytics teams performed a detailed analysis and consultation, delivering a comprehensive report of the findings.

Fraud Audit graphic

IMPACT
The networks analyzed demonstrated varying levels of fraudulent activity ranging from fewer than 15% to over 85% identifiable fraud. Overall, 65% of all attributed installs for the time period were identified as fraudulent. The primary fraud tactic overwhelmingly utilized by the networks was click flooding. By flooding large numbers of fake clicks into the ecosystem, certain networks had an unfair advantage in gaining last-click attribution, not only stealing credit from other legitimate network partners, but also taking credit for truly organic installs. A significant volume of installs further exhibited behaviors that suggested they were manufactured and not real user installs. The company took swift action on the findings and their rates of fraud fell considerably as they stopped running with the networks with the highest rates of fraud.

“The fraud audit was an eye-opener for us. A number of our ad partners were not acting in our best interests and the detailed analysis provided by Kochava empowered us to obtain make-goods and refocus ad spend toward the partners that were driving true growth.”

PROBLEM

Each country expresses diverse traditional and cultural differences that need to be accounted for within the user experience between the customer and each touchpoint of Western Union. Money is personal, so understanding the various user journeys within each region is vital. Another hurdle is how to maintain brand integrity globally and unite all properties under one roof.

“Utilizing the data Kochava has on our customer base and their dashboard tools helps us optimize our apps across the globe.”

SOLUTION

Implementing Kochava’s SDK into each of their apps allowed Western Union to access detailed event activity. Employing extensive row-level data, Western Union can splice each event by geo, device type, OS version, session count, etc. to provide full transparency into each regional app. Gaining this level of insight into volume and frequency within a particular market, helped to identify customer needs, and tailor specific products available within each app to improve the customer experience and product improvement.

Screen Shot    at
As one of the leading consumer credit health management platforms, Credit Sesame empowers its users to monitor their credit score and safeguard their identity from credit fraud and identity theft.

THE CHALLENGE
Credit Sesame has quickly skyrocketed in popularity. Their mobile app, which their users use to monitor their credit profile, became the target of mobile ad fraud. Their paid campaigns to drive new app installs attracted fraudulent publishers, who began using SDK spoofing to generate fake installs, trying to trick Credit Sesame into paying cost-per-install (CPI) bounties for users that weren’t real.

THE SOLUTION
Credit Sesame integrated the Kochava SDK, which features built-in protection against SDK spoofing. Using secure authentication protocols, Kochava Traffic Verifier detects and blocks installs, and in-app event payloads manipulated by hackers to mimic real traffic from the genuine SDK. By eliminating these false data signals from their mobile measurement through traffic verification, Credit Sesame only pays for legitimate conversions against their paid campaigns.

IMPACT
In one 24-hour period during a major campaign, Kochava Traffic Verifier blocked over 7% of total installs for fraudulent SDK spoofing, along with thousands of fake app sessions. Kochava’s SDK spoofing protection now saves Credit Sesame thousands of dollars in ad spend every month, improving overall return on ad spend (ROAS) by 15%.
