2021 data indicates cost-effectiveness in ePlay cross-promotion strategy to be expanded
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 23, 2021 / ePlay Digital Inc. (CSE:EPY)(OTC PINK:EPYFF)(FSE:2NY2) (the 'Company') today announced the release of new 2021 data tracking customer acquisition cost (CAC) for Google, App Store Search, Facebook and TikTok platforms across the companies 12+ apps on Google Play and Apple App Store. The data helps the company decide how to maintain growth and target revenue for existing and new apps including Klocked and Fan Freak.
'ePlay has been working hard to minimize customer acquisition costs and deliver transparency without giving away competitive advantages,' says Trevor Doerksen, CEO of ePlay Digital. 'We are thrilled with the results indicating future focus across the app portfolio including with Klocked ranging from $0.56 per app install from Apple Search, $1.23 from TikTok, and as low as $1.66 from Google.'
The company utilizes a variety of marketing techniques to obtain app downloads from social media influencers, websites, promotions, and paid advertising. Finding the correct mix minimizes costs and maximizes returns.
Customer Acquisition Costs (CAC) range from a low of $0.11 per app install from Google Ads to a high of $24.11 per app install from Facebook Ads. ePlay's Android apps enjoy the lowest CAC overall. Of ePlay's 13 active apps, 8 have a CAC of less than $1.00 for each download (between $0.11 and $0.86). These include Howie Go Viral, Swish AR, Outbreak Android, Big Swish Android, Swish AR ES, and Klocked. Google accounts for 5 of the least expensive app CACs, TikTok for 3, Apple Search Ads for 2. Facebook is, across the board, the most expensive source of downloads for ePlay and further efforts are necessary to drive CAC on Facebook down. The newest creative pictured in this press release started testing today.
With well over 350,000 downloads in 2021, the company continues to innovate with customer acquisition, technology, and app revenues. With Klocked and Fan Freak containing the highest price point items reaching as high as $85 per transaction currently. Accelerating the most cost effective download techniques and maximizing revenues from advertising, in-app purchases, and registration fees is the current company marketing focus. Getting the best mix continues to be analyzed against actual results indicating future direction.
