Helpshift Brings You the 2nd Annual Mobile Retention & Engagement Summit: MORESummit

In the golden age of mobile, customer retention and engagement have taken on an entirely new importance. Engaging and keeping users is, aside from building a good product, the hardest task of any app. From 2008 to 2015, the number of iOS apps released annually grew from 564 to 56,327; 1/10 of 1 percent of apps control the app market; and there are literally millions of apps in the app store. Users/players know this, and they’re not going to stick around without some strong incentives.

At this year’s 2016 MORESummit, we have gathered some of the top leaders in the mobile industry to discuss the evolving consumer and how that will impact the future of mobile retention and engagement. Speakers who work on mobile games, in customer service, for large B2B corporations, and for burgeoning startups will come together in an epic gathering at the St. Regis San Francisco on March 16. Retention and engagement are not issues that only a few face; keeping users engaged long enough to become loyal customers is a crucial problem that every person working on an app encounters.

To prepare you for this event, we have compiled a little list of statistics on mobile retention and engagement so you know just what you’re getting into:

• Apps lose 77% of their DAUs (Daily Average Users) within the first three days after install, 90% within thirty days, and over 95% within 90 days.

• In 2015, 25% of mobile apps were only used once.

• The average messaging app retention rate is 62%, while the average app retention rate is only 11%.

• 85% of people prefer native mobile apps to websites.

• By 2017, U.S. Customers’ Mobile Engagement Behavior Will Drive Mobile Commerce Revenue to 50% of U.S. Digital Commerce Revenue
.

• In the span of a year, app store and in-app advertising revenue grew 70%.

• The top app categories in the United States are social, communication, media & video, games, and entertainment.

At the 2016 MORESummit, speakers will discuss trends in mobile, re-engagement, rewarding loyalty/VIP players/users, scaling support ops, and mobile customer/player experience.
