#FiksuOnHolidays  

iOS  Timing  Tips  •  iTunes  Connect  shutdown  

–  Around  12/20  –  12/27?    –  No  approvals,  pricing  changes  –  Not  the  rank  freeze  

•  Last  year:  some  updates  took  up  to  3  weeks  •  Recommenda@on:  get  changes  in  by  end  of  Nov.

#FiksuOnHolidays  

What’s  Going  to  Happen  This  Year?  –  Device  sales  figures  will  con@nue  to  astound  

•  Tablet  growth    

–  Marketers  con@nue  to  get  smarter  about  spend  •  Focus  on  value,  smart  rank  not  top  rank  

•  New  interest  in  subcategory  rank  

Page 17: Fiksu presentation at Mobile Marketing Summit: Tapping the hidden power of app marketing--for the holidays and year-round. September 2013

#FiksuOnHolidays  

Tablets  •  Sales  con@nue  to  explode…  

–  IDC:  227M  in  2013  –  41%  of  online  US  consumers  own  tablets  –  50%  by  2014  

•  …  but  iPad  is  falling  back  to  the  pack  –  iPads  now  around  ~30%  of  all  tablets  –  Q2  iPad  shipments  YoY:  -­‐14%.  All  others:  +67%.  

•  Tablet  users:  great  demo,  great  usage  characteris@cs  –  Higher  purchase  rates  and  transac@on  values  –  But:  don’t  overstate  the  value  of  tablets  vs.  handsets  –  take  a  

balanced  approach.

#FiksuOnHolidays  

How  to  Win  the  Holidays  •  Goals  first  •  Decide  on  a  volume  vs.  value  approach    •  Update  your  app  

–   Use  holiday  crea@ve  and  content  •  Nurture  your  users  for  long-­‐term  loyalty

So  Which  Is  It:  Value  or  Volume?  

Peak  growth  (volume):    maximize  downloads  

=   =  

Which  is  right  for  you?  

Value:  maximize  ROI  

Page 20: Fiksu presentation at Mobile Marketing Summit: Tapping the hidden power of app marketing--for the holidays and year-round. September 2013

#FiksuOnHolidays  

Value  vs.  Volume  

Valume:  •  Blend  of  the  two  strategies  •  Rank  is  a  component  –  but  not  a  goal  •  Find  specific  @mes  for  rank  pushes  within  a  

longer-­‐term  value  approach  

Volume:  •  Business  goal:  X  million  users  •  Network  effects  •  Visibility  important  

=   =  Value:  •  Focused  on  ROI  •  Need  every  user  to  be  profitable  •  Small/mid-­‐sized  companies  

Page 21: Fiksu presentation at Mobile Marketing Summit: Tapping the hidden power of app marketing--for the holidays and year-round. September 2013

#FiksuOnHolidays  

Value  vs.  Volume  

Whichever  route  you  choose:  •  Pick  one  and  s@ck  with  it  •  Know  that  even  rank  maintenance  will  cost  you  •  Stay  focused  on  cost  per  loyal  user  •  Understand  value  of  organics
