Successful mobile campaign

• Though all other metrics are important, end results is what matters to all advertisers.

Measuring Campaign Effectiveness

Key points to be taken care of include:

• CTR: A high CTR could mean a well executed campaign. But your CPA results must co-relate and must be proportionately high.

• CPA: Total amount spent divided by the total number of downloads, registration or leads is calculated as CPA.

High CPA=Dissatisfied advertiser Low CPA=Satisfied Advertiser

Other success factors in mobile advertising• On-deck vs. Off -deck Inventory: Some campaigns work

very well on-deck, some only work off deck. This really depends on the kind of product the advertiser is selling.

Note: Products that are on deck are always best sold on-deck. Products that are out of the walled gardens are best sold in

similar inventory.

• Self Service vs. Managed: Some campaigns are best self run whereas some campaigns may require experienced executives to make them successful. The upcoming section talks more about it.

So which approach is the best?

• If you’re new to mobile advertising, it is better that someone else does the campaign management for you.

• Also if you have already run campaigns and if the CTR rate and click through are dropping, or the results are not satisfactory, then managed campaigns can drive better results.

• However, the ultimate decision depends on what you want to achieve through the campaign.
