Developing mobile apps with DataS: Why app marketers should prioritize data control.

In the competitive world of mobile app marketing, agility and speed are the secret ingredients for achieving sustainable growth. To optimize your app’s performance, it’s crucial to consider these three key reasons and take proactive measures to improve your speed.

Imagine yourself as a firefighter responding to an emergency call. You’re prepared, ready to take action, but suddenly realize that your fire truck can only crawl at 5 mph. Despite your expertise and training, you won’t reach the destination in time. This analogy perfectly reflects the challenges faced by app marketers.

You constantly strive to keep up with the pace of your consumers. This requires not only deep domain knowledge but also effective marketing and analytics tools. However, the app tools and services landscape is ever-evolving, presenting both new challenges and opportunities as your business needs change. The tools that once propelled you from Point A to Point B may no longer suffice to reach Point C and beyond. The rapid pace of innovation within the app tech space means that the vendor you chose just six months ago may no longer offer the most innovative solutions. Even your previous segmentation strategies may become obsolete over time.

So, what can you do in such a situation? You scramble to find a new vendor, plead with the product team to negotiate with engineering for a new software development kit (SDK), and wait for the next app release, which could take weeks. By then, it’s often too late. Just like the firefighter scenario, the fire has already consumed the house, and the damage is done. What if there’s another issue, but you lack the political capital to make further changes? Agility and speed are paramount in app marketing because without them, nothing else matters. Speed and control are the keys to success, as the fire can consume your opportunities.

To address this challenge, the first step is to gain control over your data. Implementing a data layer not only offers technical advantages but also gives app marketers on-demand access to their data, with complete control over the amount and type of data shared with each partner. This data control is crucial for effective segmentation and activation, preventing vendor lock-in, and ensuring privacy and security.

In addition to these immediate benefits, let’s explore the three reasons why app marketers must focus on improving speed through better data control.

  1. Accelerate Revenue Generation:

The demands of your consumers change rapidly, and the industry’s innovation keeps pace. As an app marketer, you need to align behaviors with goals and leverage appropriate tech solutions. This optimization allows you to capitalize on opportunities at any given moment. Without on-demand access to cutting-edge tools, you risk missing out on valuable revenue-generating opportunities, leaving money on the table.

  1. Embrace Continuous Adaptation:

Being consumer-obsessed means acknowledging that customer demands are ever-evolving. What worked yesterday won’t necessarily work tomorrow, especially as your audience expands. Taking control of your data empowers you to predict and adapt proactively, ensuring your ability to execute successful tactics over time.

  1. Seize New Opportunities:

As an app marketer, your role is to remain agile and ready. Adopting an “always on” mindset, supported by readily accessible data, enables you to address the constantly evolving business needs. While numerous app services exist, each with its own value proposition at different stages of your business, manually integrating services and encountering vendor lock-in can hinder your progress and cause missed opportunities. The key to app marketing success lies in speed, and regaining control of your data is the vital first step.
