The effect of iOS14 on your conversion tracking - what you need to know

  The effect of iOS14+ on your conversion tracking - what you need to know There are not one but 2 new updates with iOS14 that can affect your tracking with iOS14: Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP) and App Tracking Transparency (ATT). In this article, we talk about how these different privacy features from Apple can affect your tracking and in which ways. App Tracking Transparency (ATT): ATT requires any application that uses cross-app tracking to show an opt-out prompt to users. It is mainly about consent and asking people if they agree to share their Identifier for Advertisers with app publishers for the purposes of measuring marketing effectiveness, enabling new marketing, and advertising to similar people, among others. ATT isn't really a new feature. Apple previously had Limit Ad Tracking (LAT) which is kind of ATT's predecessor.

Designing a star studded experience for your customers

Designing a star-studded experience for your customers "If you want to build something that’s truly viral, you have to create a total mindf@#k experience that you tell everyone about. We basically took one part of our product and we extrapolated: what would a five-star experience be?" This is Brian Chesky, Founder of Airbnb, on Reid Hoffman's Masters of Scale Podcast talking about the exercise every entrepreneur should go through to figure out where they want to take their product experience. Brian details how they thought about their star experience design at Airbnb. Brian continues, "Then we went crazy. So a one-, two-, or three-star experience is, you get to your Airbnb and no one is there. You knock on the door. They don’t open. That’s a one-star. Maybe it’s a three-star if they don’t open, you have to wait 20 minutes. If they never show up and you’re pissed and you need to get your money back, that’s a one-star experience. You’re never using us again. So a five-

The easiest way to validate your lead is to establish the BANT criteria: Budget, Authority, Need, and Timeline.  Ask questions like: Need: Why are you considering us?

E.g. if you are selling cloud storage and your customer's servers are almost full, then they have a compelling need to buy your solution

The first step towards effective marketing is to get visibility; and this is where Google Analytics conversion tracking comes to play. What is Conversion Tracking Conversion tracking shows you what percentage of your customers that end up taking a certain action, or set of actions, on your website pages e.g. % of customers who end up signing up, % who check your prices, % making a purchase, or filling a form to receive more information about your product.
