Remuda App - Driving App Downloads Across Platforms

Remuda, the ultimate equine marketplace and community app, sought to expand its user base and increase app downloads across both iOS and Android platforms. The app, which allows users to build contacts, socialize, list, and sell equine-related items, had been on the market for six months to a year before our marketing efforts began.

The primary goal was to drive new app installs while overcoming the challenges of operating within a niche market and promoting a relatively new SaaS product. Additionally, the app faced minor glitches but remained overall stable. Our strategy targeted new users with a focus on engaging a younger demographic, as the majority of current users were over the age of 40.

To achieve this, we implemented a comprehensive marketing strategy that included:

• Running social media ad campaigns on Meta and TikTok
• Launching Google Ads campaigns
• Publishing organic social media content, including giveaways and free Remuda swag to incentivize downloads
• Sending out newsletters to engage existing audiences and encourage referrals
• Updating and publishing new website content to improve visibility and user experience
• Designing and launching a 2.0 version of the app with a refreshed interface and improved user experience

Our multi-faceted approach proved highly effective, resulting in a significant increase in app downloads:

• Total new installs increased by 212% within six months.
• iOS downloads grew by 125%, with organic social efforts driving most of these installs.
• Android downloads surged by 275%, with Google Ads playing a major role in their acquisition.

Key learnings from this campaign included:

• A diversified marketing strategy was crucial; downloads were achieved through all channels, proving that no single method was solely responsible for success.
• The app redesign was a valuable effort, but user feedback indicated that additional new features would further enhance the user experience and retention.
• Market insights revealed that Android users responded better to paid ads, while iOS users were more engaged through organic outreach efforts.

Through these insights, Remuda is better positioned to continue growing its user base, fine-tune its marketing efforts, and develop new features that align with user needs and expectations. By leveraging data-driven strategies and targeted outreach, Remuda has successfully expanded its presence in the equine community.
