Mobile display advertising helps OpenTable acquire new Android app users

We constantly work with developers who are running cross-platform app promotion campaigns on the AdMob network. Recently OpenTable ran a campaign to increase the install base for the Android version of their app.

Taking advantage of the scale of the AdMob display network and measuring install rates with download tracking, OpenTable was able to easily evaluate the return from their advertising campaign. In this Android targeted campaign, the AdMob network drove a 125% increase in daily downloads at 42% lower cost-per-install than past iPhone campaigns.

“We’ve been able to increase the pace of Android mobile user acquisition with mobile advertising. App promotion has proven to be as effective on this platform as it is on iPhone for OpenTable,” comments Scott Jampol, Sr. Director of Consumer Marketing at OpenTable.com.

As I understood they used AdMob advertising. Does Google Mobile Ads with targeting at Android able to drive users directly to Android Market?

Hi Link,

Advertisers can lead users directly to the Android Market on a device from either the AdMob or Google Display Network.

Instructions for formatting URLs to lead directly to the Android Market can be found here: http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/publishing.html.

Thanks.

What do you see as a more viable business model for the Android App marketplace... free app driving traffic to a storefront or a paid app download?
