Goal

Triple the user base within 4 months through a mix of organic and paid growth strategies, while keeping acquisition costs low.
The Problem: Slow Initial User Acquisition

The app had a strong product but was struggling to gain traction in a crowded market. Organic installs were low, and previous ad campaigns delivered high costs per acquisition with little long-term user retention.

OUR STRATEGY: AGGRESSIVE YET SUSTAINABLE GROWTH PLAN

Step 1: Product-market Fit Refinement
  • Conducted user surveys and onboarding feedback sessions to fine-tune messaging and feature highlights.
  • Positioned the app uniquely around convenience, community, and visible fitness results.
Step 2: Amplified Organic Visibility
  • Launched influencer partnerships, ambassador programs, and viral challenges on Instagram and TikTok.
  • Optimized App Store and Google Play listings with new keywords, screenshots, and video previews (ASO).
Step 3: Performance-driven Paid Campaigns
  • Rolled out highly targeted Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube ads focused on trial downloads and conversions.
  • Continuously tested creatives and audience segments to optimize for the lowest possible CPA (Cost Per Acquisition).
Step 4: User Referral Program Launch
  • Introduced a "Refer a Friend" program rewarding both referrer and referee with premium perks.
  • Built a viral loop into the app's core features to incentivize sharing.
