Show Notes
The Fundamentals of User Acquisition
To explain this using the basic mathematic equation, UA has a basic formula of cost and LTV. Winnie finds the balance between where the bottom line is a positive. Make an educated guess based on the metrics you have to execute. Segment your metrics into two folds: the top of the funnel metrics which include CPI, click through rates and conversion rates; and the downstream metrics which makes up retention, engagement and revenue. Depending on what your strategy and what your objective is, there should be a heavier importance in either of the two.
Key Metrics for Your Soft Launch
Specifically for UA, what you should be looking at are the ones on the creative side as you need to be properly prepared for the launch. This pertains to click through rates and conversion rates, in terms of purely ads.In addition to that, identify downstream metrics to capture significant drop off points during the funnel in the hopes that you can address these during the launch.
