Liftoff(Vungle)7 Mobile App Re-Engagement Best Practices Proven to Drive Results
Despite privacy regulations limiting app performance marketing, re-engagement campaigns are still valuable for mobile marketers. Key insights from Liftoff's expert include: target at least 250,000 device IDs per segment, with flexibility for niche high-value groups. Use PSA testing with control groups to measure incremental lift.
Avoid cannibalization by analyzing event completion times and implementing blockout windows (e.g., 3 days post-install). Deep linking reduces conversion friction by directing users straight to the app. Re-engagement lowers UA costs by retaining users before churn, and CPA goals are often more aggressive than UA due to higher user engagement.
Strategies also include segmenting audiences across partners and focusing on upper-funnel events to drive down-funnel actions.

Marketing attribution identifies which channels drive conversions, helping allocate budgets effectively.

AppsFlyerStrong open rates, weak app revenue: your email campaign isn’t broken. Your links are.
Email, SMS, and push are high-intent channels, but a structural gap between click and in-app action causes massive drop-off. CTRs of 30-40% often yield only 1-3% in-app conversion. The root cause is ESP link wrapping, which breaks deep link context and attribution. Fixing the handoff through proper deep linking can double purchase rates and unlock channel performance. Brands must treat the link as a continuation layer, not a redirect, and ensure context survives the transition.
