I think the biggest mistake we made
as a company is being too much on
HTML5 as opposed to native.

launch:
create excitement
Mailbox Case Study
Dec 2012: The Viral Video
Originally, Mailbox planned to charge $3 for the app, but
that changed after its debut video attracted more than 1
million views.
!
!
“We originated too much interest too fast,” Underwood
said.
!
!
So instead of charging on day one and potentially crashing
its servers (which would greatly damage the brand), the
team decided to make the app free but give people access
at a slower rate.
The bandwagon effect
“The bandwagon effect is a phenomenon whereby the rate of
uptake of beliefs, ideas, fads and trends increases the more that
they have already been adopted by others.” (Wikipedia)
The best email app you’ll ever use.“
acquired by dropbox for $100mm
If you are not embarrassedby the first
version of your product,you've launched
too late.
- ReidHoffman.

understand your users
1. Isolate the most active users
2. Analyse their data, talk to them and find patterns.
3. Analyse the lest active users and find patterns.
4. Encourage active behavior
5. Optimize
understand your users
Twitter: way better results when 1/3 of the
people you follow get to follow you back.
Secret: 90% of users that engage in a
conversation come back within the week, often
several times per day.
external Engagement tactics
1. Push notifications
2. App updates
3. Badging
4. Emails
Push notifications
Timely + personal = win
Tools: Parse Push, Appboy
Push notifications
Ask for authorization before pushing the pop up.

Timely + personal = win
People will love them and share them.
again:
why email is still key:
App Updates
Brand building
build an engaging product
gamification
Foursquare
Rivalry is a great motivating
factor, which is why the best
online businesses have learned
to harness it. Collecting points,
chasing people in rankings and
contributing to common
results keep users engaged.
Create a habit
Shopkick (in-store discounts)
Problem: most people don’t go
shopping every day.
Solution: redesign the app for a
daily use to create an habit.
So they launched a feed of
discounts on the app and they
focused on content. It may not be
the core value of the product, but
it creates habit and more people
then open the app in store.
in a nutshell
1. build your product right
2. understand your users
3. optimize
