Transcript: mCRM, or Mobile Customer Relationship Management, is essential to ensure that you retain the users that you acquire early on. Did you know that even though the average user downloads nine apps per month, only 7.5% of these installs are still active users after the 30 day mark? That’s 92.5% of users who churn within a month. The Challenge There are 3 key reasons behind why users churn. It might be that the user doesn’t see the value of your app They may have simply forgotten about your app If you’ve annoyed them with too many messages, users will probably delete your app altogether The Solution This is where a sophisticated mCRM strategy steps in to save the day, improving retention and reducing churn and keeping happy users in your app. Generally speaking, mCRM takes place across 3 main channels of communication: email, push notifications, and in-app messaging. There are a number of factors to take into consideration when building your strategy. First and foremost, you need to make sure that as many people as possible opt-in to receiving your messages, so that you can reach as many of your users as possible. This is known as permission priming. And, as with any CRM message, timing and copy are key. If you’ve got a robust analytics platform in place and your data is well consolidated, you’ll be able to create segmented audiences, and send targeted, personalised messages which speak to your users when they’re most likely to listen, bringing them back into your app. The Results The higher your retention rates, the more return you’ll gain from your acquisition investments. That is why implementing an mCRM strategy should be at the top of your priorities.
