Through the success of LinkedIn, here are our tips to help brands raise in-app audience engagement:

If you want to increase engagement on your app, simplify the user experience via these best practices:

✅ Highlight the value of your app: focus on the benefits of your tool's key function.

✅ Save time for users: shorten the usage steps as much as possible. Users don't have to go through several screens to get what they want.

✅ Include screenshots or drawings to illustrate what you are saying better.

✅ Teach by doing: explain to users the main actions they can perform in your application and let them see the results for themselves

Users who accept push notifications spend 30% more time in the app. At the same time, more than 50% of them find notifications irritating. One way to combat this attitude is to individualize your push marketing.

Tailor push notifications based on user data, behavior, and interests. For example, if you have an e-commerce application and a mobile user leaves items in their cart, you can send them a personalized push to encourage them to complete their purchase.

Convert your current community into loyal users by offering them the ability to access it on all your platforms: on your website, via email, and on social networks. Furthermore, it makes it easy for users - who have already installed your app - to return to it. Make sure these channels link directly to your app for the best experience. The more visible it is, the more it will stay in consumers' minds.
