#212: Gamify your loyalty: the secret to mobile engagement with Thomas Yannopoulos, VP of Revenue, Americas at adjoe

Running app marketing campaigns, marketers have several goals - I’m sure you know them better than the fingers of your hand. So, it is to find new users for the app, convince them to install the app and…what’s new next? Right - make sure they are engaged with the app and do with it what you expect them to, thinks like placing orders, signing up, subscribe and so on. In this episode, we want to talk about app engagement and to share with you what actually works, we have Tommy. Today’s Topics Include: Tommy's background About Adjoe Loyalty and engagement trends in consumer behavior Balancing between personalization and user privacy Emerging impactful app engagement trends or techs to anticipate Links and Resources: Thomas Yannopoulos on LinkedIn Adjoe Business Of Apps - connecting the app industry Quotes from Thomas Yannopoulos: "Not necessarily a change in behavior as much as it is a change in accessibility as to how users interface with loyalty programs today. We'll take an example of a partner like ours, which is Fetch. So Fetch rewards is the largest shopping and rewards platform in all of the U S today. They have something like 12 to 14 million weekly active users. So it's just an enormous app. And historically they focused on CPG partnerships. So if you want to box a general mills cereal, you can go to your local store, grab that cereal, take a snapshot of the receipt and you can earn some Fetch points in exchange for that behavior. \ Now, what we did when we talked to Fetch was we made them aware of the fact that likely the majority of the users were also gamers. When we think about gaming tendencies in the US, I think over 60 % of all smartphones have a game on them and over 43 % of all time spent on the smartphone in the US is spent playing mobile games." "I think we're squarely of the belief that consent is consent in our space. And we as a business pride ourselves on the fact that we will never collect any privacy or any data on someone who doesn't consent to us collecting that data. It's related to what they might be doing on their smartphone or their preferences or whatever the case may be. So when you enter our experience for the first time, you're hit with a number of prompts that essentially ask for your consent. Users are not obligated to say yes to any of these prompts, but if they do, it enhances our ability to personalize their experience. Personalization, obviously for a platform like ours, and in general for any platform, is I think rather key to success."
