Mobile marketers and taxi drivers: More similar than you’d think

Gaston Rendelstein Gaston Rendelstein Oct 21, 2021

Yes, I just said that. Mobile marketers are actually pretty similar to taxi drivers. Bear with me for a second: As
marketers, our job is to drive people from their current location to their desired destination. In other words, we
drive traffic from anywhere (an ad, email, website, social post, SMS, etc.) to the right spot in the app, that spot
where we assume they will convert. 

In this analogy, if taxi drivers bring passengers to the wrong destination, or, the right one via detours, they’d be
peeved, may not pay, will rate us poorly, and even drop off. 

Since dropping off is the last thing we want our users to do, we must deliver amazing customer experiences to delight
them, keep them engaged, and ensure that they come back for more.To build such experiences we have to become
ROX-driven marketers.

The overlooked
return on experience (ROX) opportunity

The mobile market has been changing for a while now, bringing new privacy policies which, though welcome, still place
obstacles in our way.As a result, our job is to identify new growth opportunities.The way I see it, return on
experience or ROX is the golden one we should all be looking at right now.

What’s ROX? ROX is a measurement framework that
allows us to calculate the business impact generated by customer experience (CX).So by offering good CX to our
users, we will widen the bottom of the funnel, taking more passengers to their desired destination.We are similar
to taxi drivers after all, right?

The “R” of ROX can be huge

Before showing you how to build high-performing customer experiences, let me explain what I mean by
high-performing. 

The benchmarks below refer to the aggregated performance of AppsFlyer’s customers who, like taxi drivers, use our CX & deep linking suite to
deliver their users from social media, email, mobile web, and other campaigns to the desired spot in their app.

In the second chart, you can see the average share of paying users (i.e., users making a purchase following an
install) by channel for re-engagement flows:

提升 ROX 的四大核心原则

良好的客户体验会带来令人惊喜的转化,这一点人尽皆知。现在,我们来看看,如何通过高质量的用户体验,提升现有用户的参与度,引流新用户。

在设计用户路径时,我们需要重点关注四个方面。换句话讲,如果你希望用户产生愉快的使用体验,提升用户转化率,你需要做到:

  • 情景化:让用户知道他们此刻在哪里,下一站去哪里,增强用户信任度。高度情景化的用户路径,意味着所有的用户触点都是彼此相连,高度相关的。
  • 私人定制:让客户感受到被重视,享受到特别定制的产品服务。当然,在打造定制化服务时需掌握分寸感,不要跨越用户的隐私边界。
  • 流畅度: 用户能够流畅切换到不同地点,不需要在各个平台重复操作登录。
  • 隐私保护:用户掌握分享隐私数据的权限。

将 ROX 付诸实践

如何创建情景化、定制化、流畅切换并保护隐私的用户体验?有无限的可能。不论用户在 App、邮件、网站、社交推文、短信、户外等任何触点与广告互动,都可以尝试获取用户,或是与用户再次互动。

在这篇文章中,我们将为大家介绍几种使用案例,如何为用户打造愉悦的使用体验,实现业绩目标。

1 – 提高生命周期价值 (LTV)

在互联网和智能手机的时代到来前,我们通过报纸和杂志获取新闻资讯。传媒行业自身不断适应互联网与智能手机这两大颠覆时代的发明,商业模式与发行策略持续演化。

如今的读者聚焦于移动端的新闻资讯,想要提升用户 LTV 的媒体出版社就需要将其纸媒与网页端的读者带到移动 App 端。举例说明:当用户在某新闻网站浏览一则新闻时,这家新闻社通过 AppsFlyer 智能横幅,邀请用户下载其移动 App。 用户点击横幅之后,自动跳转到到与设备系统相符的应用商店,下载 App。用户打开 App 后,即自动跳转到之前在网页端浏览的文章页面,如此流畅无缝的用户体验,就是通过 AppsFlyer 深度链接技术实现的。

这样情景化、定制化的网页至应用用户路径,能够将广告渠道的点击至激活率(CTI)提升近三成。同样,在印刷报纸与杂志上添加二维码,将用户带入 App,也能够达到类似的 CTI 转化效果。

2 – 将流程成本降至最低 

近几年,自助型贷款已经呈现商品化趋势。由此,CX 对于贷款提供商已经成为一项关键指标。调查显示,用户愿意加付 18% 的费用来达到更高的 CX。

举例说明:某银行向已下载该银行 App 的用户发送一则带有品牌链接的短信,邀请用户申请贷款。用户点击品牌链接后,即进入 App 内申请贷款页面,填写表单之后即完成申请,整个过程无缝衔接。

通过这样简单快捷的方式与现有用户进行再互动,金融服务公司能够将再互动转化率提升两成左右。借助 AppsFlyer 的技术搭建邮件营销,也可以发送邮件给用户促转化,达到类似的效果。

3 – 提高平均订单值(AOV) 

AOV 即平均订单值,是电商行业常用指标,用来衡量某一统计时段内平均每订单的平均价值。如果我买了点东西,马上要下订单,这时候如果商家试图添加别的类似商品到购物车,或许我不会反对。

2020 年移动端电商收入占比达到 57%,较 2019 年 26% 的占比实现大幅跃升,因此我们可以说,移动 App 端一定是提升 AOV 的主战场。

举例说明:一个时装品牌在 Instagram 上分享一组今日穿搭,其中展示了几种不同的商品。用户心动下单后,即进入 AppsFlyer 的社交落地页,避免 Instagram 链接中断的情况。

用户点击“立即查看”的 CTA 按钮后,立即跳转到 App 内页面,包括该品牌在 Instagram 今日穿搭中展示的所有商品。那么,通过这样轻松愉悦、前后一致的跨 App 用户体验,电商 App 能够提升至少 10% 再互动转化率。
