Tech Startup's User Engagement Optimisation

Challenge: A mobile app startup was experiencing high user churn rates and low engagement.

​

Solution: Conducted in-depth user behaviour analysis and implemented AI-driven personalized content recommendations.

​

Results:
• 50% increase in daily active users
• 75% improvement in user retention after 30 days
• 40% boost in in-app purchases

​

Challenges Overcome:
1. High Churn Rate:
• The app lost a significant percentage of users within the first week after download.
• Identifying the critical drop-off points in the user journey was difficult due to limited user behaviour data.

2. Low User Engagement:
• Users were not regularly interacting with key features of the app.
• The startup struggled to understand which features were most valuable to users and why others were ignored.

3. Ineffective Personalization:
• The app's content recommendations were generic, leading to low clickthrough rates.
• The startup lacked a system to track and analyse user preferences and behaviours.

4. Limited Resources:
• As a small startup, the company had a limited budget for user acquisition and retention efforts.
• The small development team was stretched thin, making it challenging to implement complex new features.

5. Competition:
• The app market was crowded with similar products, making it difficult to stand out.
• Larger competitors had more resources for marketing and feature development.

6. Data Analysis Complexity:
• The startup was collecting large amounts of user data but lacked the expertise to derive actionable insights.
• Existing analytics tools did not provide the depth of analysis needed for effective decision-making.

7. Balancing Growth with User Experience:
• Efforts to increase engagement were sometimes at odds with maintaining a smooth, unobtrusive user experience.
• Finding the right balance between push notifications and respecting user preferences was challenging.
