Cohort reporting is a way of grouping your customers based on when they signed up or how they signed up. This helps marketers to see inside the user behavior they wouldn’t otherwise be able to see, as many behaviors are hidden in the average.
Cohort Reporting in Apptrove allows you to monitor installs, uninstalls, in-app events, sessions, revenue, ARPU, and more. You now would be able to see how customers stick with your app over time, as well as how active they are in the app, in terms of revenue, installs, and events. When it comes to mobile apps and games, where much of the value lies in those who churn rapidly or whose conversion and monetization are a long-term play, any user who has access to tools that can track user engagement and behaviour related to revenue can have a leg up on the competition.
Features of Cohort Report in Apptrove
Three Flexible Ways To View Cohort Data
The following are the three distinct cohort reporting views that Apptrove provides to enable marketers to analyse their data in the most meaningful ways:
- Unified View: The unified view of the cohort report gives marketers the opportunity to join acquisition and retargeting data to create a complete report. Last-touch logic is implemented in a manner that, when the customer interacts with multiple campaigns, the latter doesn’t get connected with the retargeting events, and only the last one is counted. That enables the marketers to have a full view of the customer’s actions with all campaigns and touchpoints.
- User acquisition view: User acquisition view is only concerned with installs and can calculate the success rates of each channel in achieving the desired results in terms of acquiring users and can assess customer quality acquired via each channel. This perspective is ideal for knowing which acquisition campaign would generate the most valuable customers.
- Retargeting View: The retargeting view enables performance analysis of retargeting campaigns by viewing what happened to the returning customers that have been re-engaged through the campaigns. This perspective can provide insights into the success of retargeting campaigns in terms of session generation, actions, and revenue generation for past customers.
Apptrove’s Cohort Reporting offers a variety of perspectives for marketers to help them assess both their acquisition performance and their retention trends with a high level of detail and granularity.
Multiple Metrics for Full-Funnel Insights
You can use multiple metrics to get full-funnel insights. There are multiple metrics available to get full-funnel insights. Cohort reporting in Apptrove is more than just the basic retention metrics. The following metrics can help marketers ensure that they are gaining the most they can from their app’s performance:
- App installation and app uninstalls metrics of the application help you understand the churn rate and help identify application drop-off points.
- The in-app event metrics, on the other hand, enable you to analyze the total number of events and the average number of events per user, as well as the number of users taking specific actions.
- User session metrics can be used to measure user engagement by determining the number of sessions conducted by the users.
- Revenue metrics can be used to assess the application revenue, average revenue per group of users (ARPU), and average revenue per given in-app event, to determine which group of users is most beneficial for the application.
Such an approach enables marketers to measure user retention, engagement, conversions, and revenue.
Granularity & Time Windows
