3 Driving Forces to Rising Costs of Mobile Marketing
Fiksu reported yesterday that after a steady couple of months things appear to be heating up for mobile marketers. It found its Cost Per Loyal user Index reach a $1.50 (increase of 10% or .14 cents) over March’s $1.36. The App Store Competitive Index also rose 11% to 5.61 million daily downloads from 5.02 million in March.
After digging into the Data Fiksu was able to conlclude a few things, which are:
- “First, the relentless industry investment in mobile by brands large and small that kept competition high throughout the month.
- Second, the industry’s smooth transition from Apple’s UDID to its new Advertising Identifier (IDFA) actually kept traffic stable when it could have caused some disruption.
- And third, the increasing traction of Facebook mobile app install ads, which may have provided developers with a greater pool of efficient inventory and likely buffered the industry against even greater rises in costs.”
Fiksu also had a thing or two to say about Apple’s transition to UDID’s. You can read more on that here.
