Top 5 Things You Should Know About App Advertising to Increase App Revenues
In today’s mobile-first world, mobile app advertising isn’t just an option – it’s essential. With millions of apps competing for user attention, the only way to grow revenue at scale is through smart, data-driven advertising that goes beyond vanity metrics.
At Zoomd, we work with global mobile brands to help them acquire and retain high-value users through unified, high-performance app advertising strategies. Whether you’re launching your first campaign or scaling internationally, here are five critical things you need to know about app advertising in 2025.
1. Know Your Audience Before You Advertise
The strongest app advertising campaigns begin with deep audience understanding. Before you launch any campaign, you should define:
- Who your ideal users are
- Where they spend their time
- What motivates them to download, engage, and spend
At Zoomd, we use behavioral insights, historical campaign data, and AI-powered targeting to help brands build precise user segments. When you know your audience, you can deliver the right message on the right platform at the right moment – and dramatically improve performance.
2. Make App Advertising Work Harder with Optimized Creative and Messaging
You don’t need to change the app store listing for better performance. You need better ads.
In app advertising, creativity drives results. Your visuals, messaging, videos, and CTAs determine whether users will pause, engage, and click. The right creative strategy can increase install rates, reduce acquisition costs, and improve long-term user value.
Effective creative strategy includes:
- Testing multiple formats across platforms
- Using video to demonstrate value quickly
- Matching messaging to user intent and channel
- Refreshing creatives frequently to avoid fatigue
Zoomd’s creative intelligence tools and performance team help identify which messages, formats, and visual hooks convert best – and scale what works.

3. Choose the Right Channels for App Advertising – and Diversify
If you’re relying on only one or two platforms, you’re limiting your growth. A powerful app advertising strategy spreads investment across the channels that matter most to your audience.
Top channels for app advertising include:
- Meta (Facebook, Instagram)
- Google App Campaigns
- TikTok
- Programmatic ad networks and DSPs
- OEM app discovery platforms
- Connected TV (CTV)
Zoomd gives you access to more than 600 premium media sources through one unified platform. Our AI automatically optimizes your budget across channels to help you lower CPI and increase retention.
4. Don’t Overlook Influencers or creators content (CGC)
App advertising is not only about paid placements – it’s about influence and creating that authentic trust.
Users convert at higher rates when they come through recommendations, creator content, or social proof. This is why modern app advertising includes:
- Micro-influencer campaigns focused on conversion, not hype
- Creator-Generated Content (CGC) for use across paid UA
- UGC strategies that turn real users into advocates
Zoomd’s Creator Hub connects brands with vetted creators aligned with your audience. We manage the entire workflow – sourcing, negotiation, creative production, tracking, and optimization – ensuring your influencer budget drives real installs and engagement.
5. Measure What Matters – and Optimize Continuously
The most expensive install is the one that never engages. This is why tracking post-install behavior is the real core of app advertising.
Zoomd integrates with all leading MMPs and gives you a clear view of:
- Cost per install (CPI)
- Cost per event (CPE)
- Return on ad spend (ROAS)
- Day 1, 7, and 30 retention
- Average revenue per user (ARPU)
We identify which channels, creatives, audiences, and regions drive long-term value – then automatically reallocate your budget to maximize performance.
With Zoomd, you’re not guessing. You’re optimizing with precision.
