It's important that your app gets a high download rate. The more visitors that download the app, the more you are able to communicate and engage with them.
A high download rate will also give your marketing/sponsors teams that extra piece of leverage when negotiating or closing better deals.
Here are the 3 success factors:
🎖 Consistency in promotion of the app before the event
- Add a promo image for downloads on your website (frontpage)
- Make consistent promo on social media about the app
- Explain the benefits of the app (create video content)
