我々はClever Ads Solutions (CAS)と提携し、独占 モバイルゲームにおける広告収益化のベンチマークレポートをお届けします.
モバイルゲームでの広告表示による収益はここ数年改善傾向にあり、課題があるにもかかわらず、広告収益の機会は依然として大きい状況です。アプリ内広告（IAA） とアプリ内課金（IAP）をミックスした「ハイブリッドマネタイゼーション」を採用するゲームパブリッシャーが増えてきています。
IAAとIAPの現実的な比率は、50/50にすべきか、70/30にすべきか、80/20にすべきか、専門家の間で議論が続いているが、1つはっきりしていることは、 広告収益 がモバイルパブリッシャーの大半の収益の大部分を占めているということです。

Ad monetization on mobile has attracted mainstream global attention recently.

Starting from 2021, advertisers on iOS won’t be able to calculate key cohort metrics, like ROI or LTV, for most of their ad campaigns.

One month before the release of iOS 14, there are still many speculations around what’s happening next for MMPs. How much will their role change?

Since the announcement of new attribution rules on iOS 14, we saw that Mobile Measurement Partners quickly divided into two camps.

Mobile game publishing is undergoing a dramatic paradigm shift, and hyper casual games are at the center of it all. Characterized by their short engagement loops, low retention, and ad-based monetization, hyper casual titles represent a stark departure from the whale-driven, IAP-centric, tentpole economies traditionally found in the social casino and build & battle genres....

Creating a massive hit is every developer’s hope, but it happens far too rarely to be a goal for the majority of indie developers.

Subscriptions are more than a niche: services like Spotify and Headspace prove that users are willing to shell out money for content they regularly use.

When you measure your ad campaigns, you’re going to use either ROI (Return on Investment) or ROAS (Return on Ad Spend). But these measurements aren’t fully interchangeable: each has its strategic uses. A few years ago, most companies wouldn’t have stopped to consider whether switching to a subtly different measurement might be worthwhile. But today,...
For mobile app developers, retention is hard. An average of just 7.5% of mobile users stay active 30 days after downloading an app. And while mobile game developers have spent countless hours trying to crack the retention code, there are plenty of lessons they can learn by looking at their non-gaming peers. Below, we examine four ways...
Tenjin’s latest feature, deferred deep linking for ads, enables one of the Web’s best features for mobile apps. Imagine you’re on your phone, looking for the newest Air Jordans. Which ad is more appealing? “Get shoes here” or “Get the Air Jordan 6 Retro Chameleon here.” More clicks — and more valuable clicks — will...
Big data tools are now ubiquitous and, compared to years ago, cheap. But while these tools give you the “what” — fire hydrants of data — they don’t provide the “how” of using it. A gaming app developer, for example, can set up easy, out of the box tools to collect millions of data points...
We often get asked how Tenjin compares to analytics companies such as Mixpanel, Amplitude, deltaDNA, and others. The short answer is that the best way to describe those other analytics solutions is as product-centric tools, while Tenjin can best be categorized as a growth-centric tool. What do we mean by product vs. growth analytics? Product-centric...
Update 25.11.22: Regardless of what BI tool you choose, you can always count on Growth FullStack to set up the data pipelines for it. To get a leg up in today’s ultra competitive landscape, most app developers have come to depend on some type of Business Intelligence (BI) software. Whether built by an in-house team or bought and...
If you use our attribution to track installs by media source, you might notice that there are two types of installs described there: Reported Installs and Tracked Installs. What’s the difference? Why are there differences between Reported Installs and Tracked Installs? Are the networks trying to scam you by overcharging for installs? No, probably not. In very few...
Lifetime value is tricky. The simplest — and also the most reliable — LTV calculations tell you what happened in the past: segment X made Y dollars per user. In a perfect world, that would be enough. But usually, you’ll want to know the future, and that means building a more complex model. “Complex” can mean a lot...
In my last few meetings with small developers who want to learn about paid User Acquisition, we talked about the paid marketing conversion funnel. It seems like a simple concept at the outset, but when marketers first start buying installs it’s probably the most important concept to understand. Here’s a slide that sums up the...
Mobile app install campaigns are like carefully tuned machines: every part needs optimization to prevent an explosion (in your ad budget, of course). From compiling the creatives to interpreting analytics into actionable insights, you’ve got to get it all right to succeed. We put together a list of seven tips, from the start of a...
I talk to mobile app developers every day. After each conversation, it still amazes me how most of them don’t know what LTV means, and for those that do, they might be fuzzy on the math. This post is intended to get developers up to speed, if not to expert level (a tall order!). What...
A few months ago, Apple announced that iOS 10 will send all zeros for itsadvertisingIdentiferfield when the device’s user sets their limit ad tracking flag toON. According to Tenjin’s aggregate records, this represents ~15% of devices where IDFA will not be unique for a specific device. As I noted in my last post about cookies, the...
High-level KPIs like ARPU and retention are great for getting a big-picture view of your mobile app’s health, but while they might suffice for an executive summary, developers tasked with moving the needle every day know the value of digging deeper. We put together a list of some valuable and overlooked KPIs that are driving...
In my last post I talked about the importance of time to profitability (TTP). In this post I use two discrete scenarios that illustrate how TTP affects total user growth in your app over a period of time. Let’s say that you have a starting budget of $1,000 with the average CPI for acquiring a user set...
It’s common for app developers to acquire users for their apps by paying 3rd parties (like ad networks). Paying for users is an investment. To measure the success of an investment, an app developer needs to monitor how quickly they can recoup the invested dollars. Time to profitability (TTP), a.k.a “time to break even”, is...
Tenjin is proud to announce DataVault, a professional, fully managed, direct access SQL Data Warehouse for all your marketing needs. It’s a big step to democratizing mobile app business infrastructure. App developers commonly build business infrastructure once their mobile app shows promise. This is distracting. Tenjin can offload this infrastructure work with DataVault, allowing developers to...
As marketing goes digital, it starts to share a lot of common ground with data science. At Tenjin, we are seeing people with backgrounds in these two seemingly distinct fields, marketing and data science, emerge with a new role: the “Marketing Scientist”. There are two main drivers for the rise of the Marketing Scientist: These two...
