Our Services
When we talk about email marketing for app developers, it’s not just about writing emails and sending them off. It’s about building automated systems that connect with users at every stage—download, onboarding, engagement, churn prevention, and upsell. Below are the services we provide, each designed to solve very genuine challenges you face as a developer.
App Onboarding Email Sequences
Getting users to download your app is one battle; getting them to stay is another. Most apps lose 77% of users within three days of install. That’s a painful leak.
We build onboarding email sequences that guide new users through the app’s features, push them to their first meaningful action, and reduce drop-off. Whether it’s nudging them to set up their profile, complete a first transaction, or examine hidden features, these emails ensure users don’t uninstall before giving your app a genuine chance.
By structuring onboarding campaigns around behavioral triggers, we ensure no user slips through the cracks.
User Engagement Campaigns
Downloads don’t pay the bills—interacted users do. If your daily active user count looks depressing compared to your install numbers, you’ve got a retention problem.
We design engagement email campaigns that encourage users to come back, open the app, and interact with its core features. Think: push-to-email sequences reminding them about new content, limited-time features, or exclusive in-app benefits.
By segmenting audiences (active, semi-active, inactive), we customize communication so that each user feels like your app is speaking directly to them. That’s how engagement climbs, and churn rates fall.
Churn Prevention Emails
If a user hasn’t opened your app in weeks, you’re losing revenue. Industry data shows that users who receive targeted retention emails are 45% more likely to return.
We build churn-prevention campaigns designed to re-interact inactive users. These campaigns use behavioral data: last activity, session duration, features used, and even spending habits. By weaving this data into the messaging, we create email strategies that remind users why they downloaded your app in the first place.
This isn’t about blasting discount codes. It’s about showing them they’re missing out on value that matters to them specifically.
Monetization and Upsell Campaigns
Your app might be free, but revenue doesn’t have to be. If you offer premium plans, in-app purchases, or subscriptions, you need upsell email campaigns that convert free users into paying customers.
We analyze user behavior to spot upgrade opportunities. For example:
- Free users who’ve hit usage limits.
- Users interacting heavily with premium features locked behind paywalls.
- Subscribers at risk of canceling.
Our campaigns position upgrades as natural next steps rather than hard sells. When framed correctly, upsell campaigns can push free-to-paid conversions by 20–40%.
Product Update Announcements
App development never stops. You’re fixing bugs, releasing new features, and rolling out improvements. But if users don’t know about these updates, you lose a chance to re-ignite their interest.
We create update announcement campaigns that highlight what’s new, why it matters, and how it improves the user experience. These aren’t boring patch notes—they’re carefully structured messages designed to spark curiosity and lead re-engagement.
With these campaigns, your updates become marketing assets rather than just technical rollouts.
Transactional Emails Optimization
Transactional emails—receipts, confirmations, password resets—often get overlooked. But here’s the kicker: these emails have 8x higher open rates than promotional ones.
We turn transactional emails into engagement touchpoints. Instead of plain confirmations, we weave in brand messaging, onboarding prompts, and subtle upsells. Every interaction is an opportunity to deepen user trust and lead future actions.
For app developers, these emails are goldmines hiding in plain sight.
A/B Testing and Performance Tracking
Email marketing isn’t “set and forget.” Every app has a unique user base, and assumptions can be costly. That’s why we run continuous A/B testing—subject lines, calls to action, layouts, and send times are all tested relentlessly.
We measure open rates, click-through rates, conversion rates, and lifetime value improve. By monitoring these key performance metrics, we ensure campaigns are always improving.
Our clients see an average 25–30% increase in engagement within the first three months of structured testing.
Automation Workflows for Scale
Manual campaigns won’t cut it for serious developers. That’s why we build automation systems using platforms like Klaviyo, HubSpot, or custom API integrations.
A new user signs up → instantly gets a welcome email → three days later, if inactive, receives a nudge → if still inactive, they’re pulled into a reactivation sequence.
Automation ensures that no matter how many downloads you generate, every user receives the right message at the right time. This is the backbone of scalable email marketing for app developers.
