Marketers have long known that acquiring customers to purchase in-app results in higher overall engagement rates, basket sizes, and revenue. However, in order to calculate the true value of a newly acquired app customer, it's crucial that marketers leverage LTV - calculated as revenue driven by a new app buyer over the course of a year - to get a holistic picture of ROI. 

While budgets are under ever-increasing scrutiny in this tough economic climate, all channels are at risk of having budgets cut and efficiency goals increased. That's why it's more important than ever to ensure top performing channels have the right KPIs, technology, and measurement solutions in place. Across our enterprise customer base, Button sees 5x-10x+ ROAS for app installs over a one year period, with standard CPI costs of $5.

Note that these LTV metrics are understated by as much as 200% as purchasers will organically come back to purchase in-app without originating in a paid channel.
