Why Most Retail Apps Become Ghost Towns
Retail apps often struggle to maintain user engagement, leading to low activity levels. While loyalty programs are essential, many brands fail to create meaningful engagement loops. One-off perks, like discount codes, do not foster lasting relationships. To enhance engagement, brands should integrate habit loops with social elements, such as leaderboards and referrals, which encourage ongoing interaction. Additionally, incorporating gaming mechanics can keep users returning to the app for entertainment, thus building loyalty and enhancing brand value. Ultimately, modern loyalty requires a value exchange that goes beyond simple discounts.
