Question: Does anyone have tips on getting users through the onboarding funnel of a mobile app? 📱 Context: My co-founder @Clayton Rieck and I have built a fashion app Peachi 🍑 that helps users shop for the perfect item based on their style. We are running a Youtube ad to get people to download our app so we can validate some features with new users. The funnel is as follows: Youtube Ad > Our Website > Download App. The Problem: We are getting users to download the app, but oddly enough they stop on the welcome screen and don’t proceed any further so we don’t get the chance to collect their email and follow up for feedback. At first we thought our welcome screen wasn’t enticing enough. Then we updated the screen to include an animated slideshow of stylish people (both are pictured below). So far conversions have not improved. Advice: Has anyone encountered this situation before? It seems odd someone would be watching a Youtube video, see an ad, go to the website, download the app and then quit on the welcome screen before they get a chance to see what the app is about lol.

Daily Growth Question: Should a startup invest in its branding? My answer for this yes and here is why: Startups should build their brands from the very beginning. So while brands appear to be about visual identity on the surface, they are ultimately expressed via behaviors. The logo, fonts, and colors are essential, but they are just the visual representation of your objective, point of view, and actions. You should constantly be mindful and invest in the company’s activities, as here is where your brand genuinely resides. Your brand is built by how you think about the problems you address, the value you bring, and how you articulate your objective. Next, your brand is formed by interacting with customers and vendors and how you engage them. Finally, your brand is built on how you respond when your technology or service fails. Let me know what is your opinion on branding, and how you do it for your startup.

Question about referral partnerships. We are starting a referral relationship with a new partner. I'm planning on paying a referral fee at 2x MRR, which is what I've seen at other SaaS providers. The referral is really coming from individuals at the partner company, so I'd like to also incentive the consultants directly. I've seen this in other businesses but it's always a little murky on whether it's okay to incentivize individuals vs. only compensating the company. Any advice on how to approach this? I'm thinking 2x MRR to the company ($2K to $10K) and a swag kit + $500 to the individual.

I'm surprised how few people use affiliate marketing to kick off their projects 👀 Do you mind sharing why? 1️⃣ I think it doesn't generate revenue 2️⃣ Affiliate tools are expensive 3️⃣ Don't know how to connect with affiliate partners 4️⃣ Difficult setup (dev needed) 5️⃣ Other (let us know in thread)

Affiliate marketing can be a great way to obtain data about your new product and how audiences accept/reject your approach. BUT, it takes a good approach with landing pages, funnels, offers, and creative. You then need to monitor, react, and optimize your pages, creative and offers. I find a lot of clients are not ready to undertake the foundation work. It doesn’t work well if you don’t provide a good tool set for the affiliate marketers and a lot of orgs are not prepared to do that. Just posting an offer and a homepage won’t net much. At least that is my experience/arrogant opinion. Great question!

Daily Growth Question: Why is product-market fit so critical and have you already found your product-market fit? The answer is simple: Your team cannot afford to prioritize other key strategic objectives such as growth before building a product for which enough people are willing to pay. Those efforts may be futile unless you first decide that your product has a large enough market to sustain itself and generate a profit. Let me know guys if you agree with this and have you already found your product-market fit?
