Creating a Post Launch Campaign – Tapcart

After launch, it’s important to have a constant growth campaign to continue driving traffic to your mobile app. In this article, we’ll review some best practices for your post-launch campaign.

App Store Reviews

Reviews help increase your app's discoverability within the App Store. To incentivize your top customers to leave a review, we recommend leveraging your email campaigns to offer a discount in return for leaving a review.

App Exclusives

Retain customers with app exclusives! Continue to show the value of your app by offering app-only promotions and notifications.

In-app early releases
In-app only products/collections
Flash sales
One-time in-app welcome discounts
Free shipping
Exclusive brand update
Event invitations

Having a constant growth campaign in place will continue to display the importance of your app.

App Content

Create a content hub for your app users! Expressing your brands' values with content helps create a sense of community for your customers and will entice them to keep coming back. Offering app-exclusive content continues to reassure the importance of keeping the app on their device. You can display brand content by creating custom video or image banners and linking those out to blogs, videos, playlists, and more.

Pro-tip: Create collections for your app based on products that appear in your content!

In-App Loyalty

Loyalty points with a mobile app create a lucrative environment for lifelong retention. With customers being 75% more likely to buy a product if they are able to earn rewards for it, this not only increases conversion but boosts returning app sessions. To market your loyalty program within the app we recommend following these steps:

Create a page or block that promotes how to get started, how to build points, and how to redeem points.
Roll up your loyalty program and mobile app into a bundled, customer retention campaign.

QR Codes

QR codes are an easy, convenient way to drive downloads! Add QR codes to your fliers and other promotional materials to build a buzz around your app. Create QR codes and add them to all customer-facing material, such as:

Postcards
Product packaging
In-store collateral
Packing Slips
Stickers

Manual Push Notifications

Send at least 2-3 push notifications per week, if not daily. Push notifications do not always need to be tied to a sale or product announcement, we recommend using push to communicate your brands’ message, promote events, announce new content, and more! We have created a best practices guide on push, that you can check out here!
