- Targeting the Right Audience: Using data on user profiles (age, gender, and location), the startup identified the key target audiences for their app, such as young adults and urban dwellers, optimizing their marketing campaigns around these segments.
- Platform Selection: By analyzing which platforms had the highest engagement (e.g., Android vs. iOS), the startup strategically prioritized their marketing spend on the platforms where their target audience was most active.
- Retention Tactics: With insights into app retention rates, they implemented features that improve user engagement, such as push notifications for health reminders and loyalty programs for long-term users.
