How do I create app-exclusive discounts?

I'm looking to create targeted discounts specifically for users who download and engage with my mobile app, but I'm unsure about the best strategies to implement this. My goal is to incentivize app downloads, increase customer loyalty, and drive more mobile-based purchases. I want to understand how to design app-exclusive promotions that feel special and encourage both initial app installation and repeat usage without cannibalizing my other marketing efforts.

The short answer

Pause Growth Suite campaigns immediately if they show negative ROAS (discount cost exceeds incremental revenue), technical issues affect the shopping experience, or during major site incidents that require full attention. Use the pause feature in campaign settings.

When and How to Pause Campaigns

Knowing when to pause a campaign is as important as knowing when to launch one. Campaigns that are underperforming or running in adverse conditions should be paused and evaluated before burning through budget or damaging customer experience.
