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.

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.
