The Power of Retargeting in Mobile Game Marketing

User acquisition doesn’t stop at the install. In fact, many users drop off shortly after downloading a game. That’s where retargeting comes in. By re-engaging lapsed users, retargeting campaigns help mobile game developers boost retention and lifetime value (LTV).

What Is Retargeting? Retargeting involves serving ads to users who have previously interacted with your game but didn’t complete a desired action—such as making an in-app purchase or returning after initial use. It’s a cost-effective way to revive interest and increase user lifetime value.

Why Retargeting Works

• Reinforces Brand Recall: Reminds users of your game after they’ve dropped off.

• Higher ROI: Retargeted users often cost less to re-engage than acquiring new ones.

• Customized Messaging: Personalize your ads based on past user behavior for better results.
  

Effective Retargeting Strategies

• Segment users based on actions taken or session frequency.

• Use dynamic creatives that reference the user’s in-game progress.

• Implement frequency capping to avoid ad fatigue.
