Maximize Growth in Q5: Gaming App Insights for December and January Peaks

Gaming App Insights: Unlock the Power of Q5 for Maximum Growth

As the holiday season approaches, many companies allocate a significant portion of their marketing budgets to the festive quarter Q4. However, an often overlooked quarter, Q5, offers mobile gaming apps with opportunities that should not be missed. Drawing from Adjust's recent data analysis spanning the past two years, this blog reveals that Q5 is among the key moments when gaming activity peaks. We predict that Q5 2022-23 will continue to mirror these trs globally.

Gaming App Installs Reach New Heights in December and January

To begin with, let's examine the latest insights into Q5 for mobile gaming. Globally, gaming app installations see their peak during December - both in 2020 and 2021. Following closely behind are January 2021 and 2022 as the second-highest months for installs.

Users sping exted time at home during the holidays often find themselves downloading and using applications, including games, on their mobile devices due to extra free time. As an illustrative example, puzzle game app users saw a significant influx of new players in December 2020, with January 2021 as a close second. This uptick can be attributed to cross-promotion strategies, where users see advertisements for similar games while playing their current one, encouraging them to switch once they tire of the game they're currently using. Popular among casual gamers, these tactics are particularly effective during festive seasons like Q5.

In addition, it's worth noting that this phenomenon doesn't just apply to puzzle games - any mobile gaming app could benefit from targeting users during December and January with special promotions or features that holiday themes, creating a lasting impression and encouraging continued engagement post-festive season.

The Power of CTV for Mobile Gaming in Q5

One channel that can amplify your marketing efforts is Connected TV CTV advertising. A recent article showcases where gaming apps could leverage the 14-day window to maximize exposure during Q5. The client was able to measure performance across various networks using Adjust's comprehensive CTV solution, CTV AdVision, which provided deep insights into CTV impressions and how they impacted their broader marketing campgns.

Utilizing such tools allows gaming companies to make informed decisions quickly by analyzing campgn metrics across multiple channels in real-time. This capability ensures that you can optimize ad sp for effective targeting without compromising the overall user experience or app retention rates.

Engaging Players with In-App Activities

Another critical aspect of Q5 is player engagement, especially when it comes to retning users who may have been more active during festive periods. By crafting in-app activities that align with holiday themes like New Year's celebrations or festive events, you can effectively engage and retn your audience throughout the season.

Innovative ideas for engaging players include:

1. Weekly giveaways or holiday-themed rewards

2. Interactive tips and tutorials to enhance user experience

3. Seasonal competitions or challenges among gamers

4. Limited-time offers with exclusive content like new adventures or additional lives or rewards

5. Releasing new features or updates specifically tlored for Q5 periods

Ensure that these in-app activities are easily accessible through push notifications, guiding users directly to the relevant event or feature within your app.
