The travel app's user-focused ASO strategy boosts retention by 45%, leveraging personalization, affordability, and localization in UK.
As the travel industry rebounds post-pandemic, economic headwinds persist, yet optimism for travel prevails. With lockdowns lifted, there's a surge in demand for travel, benefiting apps that facilitate advanced planning. Conversely, economic strains necessitate budget-friendly travel solutions. Today's travelers prioritize safety and value, prompting travel apps to adapt to these conscientious consumption patterns.
In this case study, our client, a travel app has successfully boosted user retention, showcasing adaptability and understanding of the current travel app market.
The implementation of the market research-informed ASO strategy led to remarkable progress in user retention for the app.
Our client is a well-established travel app with over 500,000 downloads in North America and Europe. It stands out by providing personalized travel experiences, real-time flight updates, and seamless hotel reservation services. Despite a strong user base, the app faced a high churn rate, indicating a disconnect between initial user engagement and long-term retention.
The primary challenge for our client was the high user attrition rate despite having a substantial number of downloads. The app struggled to maintain user interest post-download, and the engagement metrics indicated that users were not returning to the app after their initial few uses.
ASOWorld embarked on a comprehensive market research initiative to understand the competitive landscape and user preferences within the travel app sector.
We analyzed top-performing travel apps to identify features that resonated with users and trends in user reviews. This analysis revealed a gap in personalized travel experiences, which our client could fill.
Recognizing that affordability is a crucial factor for users selecting a travel app, optimizing for cost-effectiveness is essential. To attract users looking for affordable travel options, we would focus on incorporating keywords related to affordability, such as "budget travel," "cheap flights," "affordable hotels," and "travel deals." This helps the app appear in search queries by cost-conscious users.
