User churn remains a critical challenge: 90% of users stop engaging within 30 days, and top apps face over 80% retention difficulty. Aura Remarketing addresses this by reactivating inactive users through smart, non-intrusive on-device notifications, focusing on high-value users who made in-app purchases or frequent sessions. It diversifies UA strategy by re-engaging users who already demonstrated intent, reducing reliance on new acquisition spend.
Targeting options include user type (Aura-originated or other), demographics (age, gender, location), device models (high-end devices correlate with higher spending), download recency, app engagement, and post-install behaviors (launches, purchases, ad interactions) with custom timeframes. For Aura-originated downloads, additional targeting based on post-install actions is available. Campaign setup requires a performance link, redirect URL, user criteria, bid, and KPIs.
Currently, notifications are the primary placement; future additions may include Game Spotlight and in-life app discovery. Privacy compliance is carrier-grade; no extra steps needed. Aura Remarketing aims to improve retention, maximize ROI, and revive relationships with lapsed users.
Web-to-app strategies boost conversions by 77% and achieve 13.6% average paying user rate. Brands like adidas saw 2.4x higher ROAS from deep-linked users, while AirAsia improved bookings by 19%.

Actionable steps: set tracking, import conversions, activate smart bidding, and deep link users.

LLMs like ChatGPT and Gemini are reshaping mobile app discovery, with traditional search volume expected to decline 25% by 2026.

While native ad formats are in early testing on platforms like Perplexity and Gemini, early adoption can secure high-intent placements. Marketers should track AI-driven traffic and align discovery strategies across ASO, SEO, and LLMs to stay competitive in an AI-first environment.
