Introduction
In a fiercely competitive Indian gaming market, acquiring high-quality players for a Rummy app is a challenging task. Our client, a leading Rummy app provider, aimed to not only increase app installations but also ensure that these installations translated into engaged and revenue-generating players. They approached us with the challenge of creating a tailored and strategic app installation campaign with the objective of acquiring players at an effective cost of Rs 9 per install. This case study delves into how we met and exceeded these goals through a data-driven and strategic approach.
Client Background
Our client, a prominent player in the Indian gaming industry, had a well-established Rummy app. However, they recognized the need for a more systematic and effective approach to player acquisition. Their primary challenges included:
- Increasing App Installations: While they had a steady user base, they wanted to significantly increase the number of app installations.

Phase 4: Continuous Optimization
- Real-Time Monitoring: We monitored the campaign’s performance in real time, making data-driven adjustments as needed.
