sources:
– reach
your
largest
potenAal
audience
– realize
the
lowest-­‐possible
acquisiAon
cost
– protect
your
app
from
audience
saturaAon
• Test,

Fiksu.

13. TargeAng
OpAons
• Demographics:

relaAonship
status,
educaAon,
new
job,
new
home,
expecAng,
just
moved…
• Interest opDons:

14. What’s
Performance
Like?
• Every
app
has
a
personality
– For
some,
Facebook
is
one
of
the
top
sources
of
traffic
– For
others
it’s
less
efficient
than
exisAng
channels
– That’s
precisely
why
you
have
to
test
• In
aggregate,
CTRs
and
conversion
rates
are
much
higher
than
typical
networks
• You
won’t
know
unAl
you
try
–
but
you
should
definitely
try
