Tracking app downloads from email

As an entrepreneur, you probably know a thing or two about email marketing. Perhaps you feel like you have crafted the perfect email that includes an enticing subject line, engaging body copy, and a compelling call-to-action. Did it get lost in the flood of emails from other businesses? What you really need is a way to know if people are getting the messages you send. Email tracking software inserts a unique, transparent image into every email you send.

This enables the software provider — and you — to see when the email was opened, how much time the recipient spent reading it, and, in many cases, even the location the recipient was at when they opened the email. What makes the email tracking pixel unique is that it works silently in the background. So, without getting in the way or annoying the recipient, the technology allows you to track and measure the performance of your campaign.

You can use this insight to improve your outreach by, for example, removing unresponsive contacts from your list. For example, if you find that a specific recipient opens your email in the evening, sending them a message at that time again will increase your chances of attracting their attention.

In the past, marketers had to wait for an arbitrary amount of time before making a follow-up call. With an email tracker, you wait until you see a notification that informs you a prospective customer has opened and read your message. This helps you stay front of mind, which can help increase sales and referrals. As mentioned earlier, email trackers also reveal how much time a recipient spends reading a particular email.

You can use this insight to improve the relevancy of your content. Research reveals that relevant emails generate 18 times more revenue than broadcast emails. Knowing their preferences, you can create an automated campaign with the content that potential customers are expecting and send follow-up emails to bring home the sale. Most of the commonly used email clients, including Gmail and Outlook, do not offer email tracking as a feature. But you can always use a third-party application to reap its benefits.

At a high level, fingerprinting stores unique user properties such as IP address, user agent, etc. Then, when a user installs the app, those properties are compared to properties read directly from the native app. It will also break in the scenario where the user connects or disconnects from wifi, changing the IP.

After years of being in development and testing, Branch introduced a completely new way of measuring attribution that nearly eliminates the need for fingerprinting: Attribution. It uses the wisdom of the crowds to build a large identity graph of cookies mapped to device IDs, generated from the tremendous amount of traffic Branch sees. For pure app attribution, it solves that use case easily. Then, if you have more complex user flows, involving mobile web or other platforms, the attribution system can track those as well.

Both Journeys and Universal Ads are built upon this identity graph, which can deliver much more accurate matching and attribution than fingerprinting.

With a legacy attribution provider, this install registers as an organic App Store download, while a cross-platform attribution provider rightfully recognizes the role the initial Facebook ad played. Unattributed conversions devoid of source data almost always over-inflate organic install counts, while underrepresenting the true value of channels like paid marketing that happen outside of the App Store.

Instead, savvy marketers are maximizing their growth and setting themselves up for success with an attribution model that measures people rather than cookies while providing data and resulting insights that they can trust.
