Key challenges
- Measuring the effectiveness of marketing campaigns across channels.
- Lowering the customer acquisition cost.
- Making sure that customer data is 100% safe.
Challenges of app marketing
Rather than relying on external content, Aumio's team creates each content piece in-house. They collaborate closely with a network of specialists to craft content tailored for the well-being of children and families. Every soundscape and story featured in the app is an exclusive creation by Aumio. However, this approach incurs much higher costs, preventing the app from being fully free – proving to be a considerable challenge for the Aumio's marketing team.
The average willingness to pay for mobile apps is still very low compared to other industries. Hence, our marketing needs to be very effective, we cannot afford expensive spray-and-pray campaigns.
Initially, Aumio experimented with conventional performance marketing, but it proved costly and ineffective. Being a mobile app geared towards younger children, ensuring data privacy is crucial, adding complexity to the search for suitable marketing tools.
