Beyond Game Economy Design – Increasing Profit Through Intelligent Revenue Optimization

 

On January 21, 2020,  Ted Verani, VP of Business Development took the stage at Pocket Gamer Connects London as part of the Monetizer track to present Beyond Game Economy Design – Increasing Profit Through Intelligent Revenue Optimization.

Building a profitable mobile game takes more than a well-designed virtual economy. The most successful titles measure user-level behavior to create personalized retention and monetization systems that exist outside the core gameplay loop. True revenue optimization requires comprehensive analysis of every available data point to determine the ideal offers and ‘next best actions’ for each player. In this video, Ted shares how to build automated loyalty programs that improve engagement and retention across genres including hyper-casual, as well as tips on using Behavioral Economics to optimize IAP pricing strategies.

Session Title: “Loyalty Programs – Increasing Engagement and Retention Outside of Gameplay”

Our Founder and CEO, Alex Moukas, took the stage this January and shared his insights on why app developers need to invest in loyalty and retention to make more out of their existing users.

Summary: Leading brands and organizations around the world use Loyalty Programs as a way to engage meaningfully with their customers. Why not in mobile gaming? Loyalty Programs are an easy and effective way to improve engagement and retention outside of gameplay. Even a 5% increase in retention can lead to 30-100% increase in revenue. Plus, it’s cheaper to retain an old customer than acquiring a new one.

In this session, Alex Moukas will demonstrate how game developers can get revenue and retention boosts of 30%+ by enabling an Automated Loyalty Program for their existing players on top their game. He will focus on specific loyalty tactics, how to set up a program without affecting the underlying gameplay, and share case study results from over 30 mobile games.
