The challenge

Tiendeo (@Tiendeo) is a mobile app that provides information about offers and promotions in nearby stores. Originating in Spain, they now connect retailers with bargain seekers in more than 30 countries, including the US, Mexico, Germany, and India.

Tiendeo was looking for ways to boost downloads of their app. They chose an app installs campaign with Twitter Ads because of Twitter’s predominantly mobile user base and the ability to specifically target these users.

The brand was targeting shoppers in Colombia, Denmark, France, Italy, Norway and Spain.

The solution

Tiendeo wanted to reach and promote their app to users interested in local retail offers and promotions. To reach this niche audience, they used username targeting to reach the followers of accounts that offer a similar services or retailers, such as @MediaMarkt_es. By targeting audiences that already showed they’re interested in this type of service, they were able to promote their app to high value leads.

Tiendeo identified several TV programs with audiences that aligned with their target market, such as Espejo Público & Masterchef o El Programa de AR. They saw that users were participating in conversations about these shows on Twitter, so they used TV targeting to serve their app install advertisements to this highly engaged and relevant audience.

Using image app cards, Tiendeo was able to pair screenshots of their app with a strong call to action inviting users to install it immediately. The images were eye-catching, and also allowed users to preview the app’s user experience and the types of offerings inside.

No doubt this is one of the best marketing platforms we have used to drive app installs and we will continue to do so in the future."
