DESCRIPTION
Another chapter from Growth Hacking Secrets of Silicon Valley, this one is on mobile behavior shaping, particularly for the case of dormant users. What happens when you get users and a bunch of them leave after 1-2 uses? That's a dormancy issue. Is it a big problem? Could be. But dormancy isn't always a bad thing. For example, if your mobile app sells jewelry, you can't expect users to check in every day. This deck helps you determine if your dormancy issue is critical, and offers some tips on setting up re-engagement campaigns to get them back in and boost active users by 5-22%. Note - I use the Kahuna Customer Engagement Engine (http://www.usekahuna.com) to set these campaigns up. If you are a Kahuna customer, let me know and I can send you the templates. If not, you should check it out! No easier way to identify and address behavior patterns in real-time.

Re-Engagement Campaigns
• Designed to address recently dormant customers– Gets “idle” customers back– Helps teach customers new uses of app– Can keep your brand front-of-mind in
periods of low relevancy (ex – not Xmas)– One of the top 3 campaign types you
can run to boost active users/revenue
Best Practice – Email Refresh
• For “Periodic” users, a refresh/reminder can be helpful
• Email is a good format since it reminds them in a different place/context than push
• Trigger on change from “engaged” to “dormant”
• 5-22% boost in engagement rates
Email Refresh Type - Content
• Send reminder of new content, new products, new features
• Fab example – wonderful eye candy of new products/themes
• Low CTR’s okay – you are staying fresh in their minds w/content (may want to count a “read” as an engagement)
Email Refresh Type – Power Users
• Show how other users use your app in new and creative ways
• Cleverbug example – Customer of the Week tells stories
• Can also use to show how close friend used app
• Leverage larger-than-mobile-screen real estate
Email Refresh Type – Pushed Reviews
• Testimonials and reviews - remind your customers that everyone love you!
• Good tactic if you want customers to be “in” on your success
• Also a good way to get feedback
Email Refresh Type – FOMO
• FOMO = “Fear Of Missing Out”
• Pinterest example – People are pinning your stuff
• Top content/products, contests, limited time offers, events – all good
Email Refresh Type – Thank You
• “Thank you” are two of the most powerful words EVER.
• Another good place to ask for feedback/reviews/sharing
• Place for personal note from CEO/Founder
