3. Measure properly

3. Measure properly
In-app tracking ≠ Marketing AttributionUse MAT, AdEven, Ad-x, Appsflyer
Don’t use “others”Track post install events
Look at the install and events funnel
![Page 19: The 8 Commandments of App Marketing (App Promotion Summit Berlin 2013)](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050808/5478e614b4af9fa5158b4683/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
4. Set an objective
![Page 20: The 8 Commandments of App Marketing (App Promotion Summit Berlin 2013)](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050808/5478e614b4af9fa5158b4683/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
4. Set an objective
Market Share? Category Leader?1,000,000 users? $ 1,000,000 in revenues?
Viral traction / “x” K factor?
To be in the “top of the rankings” is NOT an objective

5. Spend only CPI/CPA
Focus on building a kick ass appA lot of companies focusing on optimisingIf you are measuring post-install, CPI ideal
You eliminate acquisition funnel risk
