The Kids Category: Some Assembly Required…
Robby Yung, CEO
Kids Don’t Sound Like a Good Market
• Short attention spans
• Kids are easily satisfied (implication: don’t want to buy IAP’s)
• Kids don’t have much (any) money
• You can’t advertise (COPPA)
There’s a Bright Side…• Kids are loyal (brands!)
• Kids are impressionable - they’re more open to trying new things
• Kids love to play and play and play, racking up sessions
• Kids drive parent’s spending
Brand Loyalty
Why Brands?• Attract interest from loyal fans / user
acquisition
• Organic growth
• Inspire loyalty
• Stand out in a crowded field
• Incentivise developers
Subscription ContentParents• A walled garden of kid-friendly
content • Deep content that can engage
for hours on end - unlimited play
• No IAP / not predatory • Straightforward pricing model -
strong value proposition
Developers• The model parents prefer • Free app - download rate higher
than premium apps • Higher LTV • Platform rebate - 15% • Recurring revenue
Advertising / COPPA
• Children 13 and under
• No data collection
• No targeting
• Ad screening (kid-friendly)
• EU will be the same in 2018 but for kids up to 16
