KPI’s evaluate the health of your product and your
business. 3 categories:
• Acquisition

• Monetization
Goal: final cost per user is less than final life time
value of user

KPI - K-factor (Virality)
Value:
• A measure of how virally effective or social the app is
• More viral = less cost to hit # Installs KPI
• Longer app life time
Definition:
• K = # invites & conversion rate (1 = status quo)
Suggestions:
• Social network integration (FB, Twitter connect)
• Competitive or cooperative systems (raids, trading)
• Friend codes
• Invitation incentives (HC, speed-up’s)

10. ©Copyright 2013-2014. Spicy Cinnamon Pte. Ltd
KPI - Retention Rate (RR)
Value:
• Indication of how well the app keeps users returning
• More returns = longer user life = more monetization
• Highly targetable cohorts
Definition:
• Day0 = First time activated users on specific date
• DayX RR = # users from Day0 return / # Day0 users
• Day0 is constantly rolling (every day is a new Day0)
• Day1-14 RR most indicative of user behavior
• Followed by Day30, 60, 90
• View DayX RR as trending or averaged over data points
• Averaging Day30 RR requires 2 months

11. ©Copyright 2013-2014. Spicy Cinnamon Pte. Ltd
KPI - Retention Rate (RR) continue
Suggestions:
• Good product and useful service
• Virality – friends are on it
• New content (whether by developers or active community)
• Incentivized returns (HC)
• Special events (discounts, raids, limited time)
• Push notification reminders

12. ©Copyright 2013-2014. Spicy Cinnamon Pte. Ltd
KPI - Life-Time Value (LTV)
Value:
• Ultimately, how much revenue each average user provides
Definition:
• Simple, ARPDAU * LT (estimate LT based on RR)
• Most popular, usually assume 30-Day LTV
• Strict, create cohort for first time users for each day for LT
# of days. Track & sum up IAP for each user. Average
across cohorts.
• Difficult to define: are users that provide community
content or are virally active part of value?

13. ©Copyright 2013-2014. Spicy Cinnamon Pte. Ltd
KPI - Life-Time Value (LTV) continue
Suggestions:
• Improvement to RR & worth paying service / product
• Discount events to IAP
• Strong visual indicators (juicy feedback)
• Provide enough access points to IAP
• Provide enough options for IAP
• There are high-rollers, provide options for them
• Allow pay-to-speed-up
• Special expression based VG
• Do not allow pay-to-win; risk of damaging community

Client SDK
• Client-side SDK’s simpler to integrate
• Some Ad Networks provide analytics
• SDK’s must be scheduled in release
plan
Server API
• API provides scheduling flexibility
• Requires client to send uniqueness
and segmentation data
Data Collector
• Store uniqueness, segmentation, &
event data
• Collect application data via web log
scraping
• Collect Ad Network raw data for
acquisition to engagement mapping
