GameNexa Studios 使用 Firebase 将应用内购收入翻倍并实现创收策略多元化
简介
GameNexa Studios 是一家总部位于印度的应用开发商和咨询公司。他们迄今已经在 Star Play Creations、
AppStar Studios 和 GameNexa 三个品牌名下发布了 40 多款应用和游戏,每月为接近 500 万位用户提供服务。除了发布自己的产品外,他们还帮助其他开发者充分发掘其应用和游戏的潜力。
GameNexa 最受欢迎的应用提供 GPS 和语音导航、行车路线、附近的地点提醒等功能,而且所有这些功能均可离线使用。"用户钟爱这款应用,因为它能提供本地化的语音导航指令,而且可以下载并离线使用,"GameNexa 的董事兼首席执行官 Srinivas Reddy Kamireddy 表示。
挑战
与许多同行一样,GameNexa 的收入流在新冠肺炎疫情的影响下遭遇重创。此前,该公司的大部分收入来自其免费下载的应用和游戏内的广告。但在新冠肺炎疫情期间,他们的许多广告客户大幅削减预算,造成了 GameNexa 广告收入缩水。在观察 AdMob 上的应用内广告收入后,Kamireddy 说:"我们注意到 eCPM(预估的每千次展示费用)显著下降。"他们也注意到了应用内购的下滑。
该团队需要找到一种数据驱动的方式,实现收入流的多元化,并抵消与新冠肺炎相关的广告收入损失,因此他们转向了 Firebase。
解决方案
GameNexa 需要摒弃原本的一刀切策略,改用针对具体用户灵活调整的多元化收入模式。为此,他们需要更好地了解用户及其行为方式。因此,GameNexa 使用 Google Analytics(分析) 将用户按语言、会话时长、国家/地区等标准进行分组。然后,他们使用 Firebase Remote Config 和 A/B Testing 来测试每个组的广告频率、广告展示位置和应用内购方案等变量,以找到适合每个细分群体的高效方案。
经过这些努力,GameNexa 的内购 (IAP) 收入增长了 2.5 倍,并通过使广告展示次数翻倍,将广告收入恢复到新冠疫情前的水平。Kamireddy 还表示,在此基础上,他们通过“为选定的用户群创建不同价格的个性化内购套餐,将转化量提升了 6 倍”。
"使用 Firebase,我们增加了广告收入,而且没有对用户留存率和用户体验造成任何负面影响,"他补充说。
此外,GameNexa 还投资提高其应用质量,以提供更好的用户体验。他们采用了 Crashlytics 和 Performance Monitoring 来获得富有实用价值的分析洞见,帮助全方位改进应用体验。事实上,通过将崩溃次数减少到原来的五分之一,将 ANR("应用无响应"错误)减少到原来的二分之一,GameNexa 的用户留存率和会话时长都进一步得到了提升。
在这项成功的启迪下,GameNexa 打算在未来的项目中继续使用 Firebase,包括测试面向全球受众的本地化界面。他们还计划通过咨询业务,与其他应用开发者分享自身在面对逆境时的经验教训,包括数据、个性化调整与敏捷性的力量。
成果
应用内购转化率提升 6 倍
应用内购收入提升 2.5 倍
崩溃数量减少 5 倍
"Firebase 彻底改变了我们的业务局面。它让我们能利用所需的数据来适应困难的局面,在保证用户满意的同时改善收入流。"

They have released over 40 apps\nand games across three brands --- Star Play Creations, AppStar Studios, and GameNexa --- serving nearly five million total monthly users. In addition to launching their own products, they also help other developers make the most of their apps and games.\n\nGameNexa's [most popular app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maps.voice.navigation.traffic.gps.location.route.driving.directions) offers GPS and voice navigation, driving directions, nearby place alerts, and more, all without an internet connection. \"Users love it because the app will give you localized voice navigation instructions that you can download and use offline,\" said Srinivas Reddy Kamireddy, Director and CEO of GameNexa.\n\n*** ** * ** ***\n\nChallenge Like many of their peers, GameNexa's revenue stream was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Previously, the company earned most of its income from ads in their free-to-download apps and games. However, when many of their advertisers slashed their budgets due to COVID-19, GameNexa's ad revenue declined. Looking at their in-app ad earnings on AdMob, \"we noticed a significant drop in eCPM \\[estimated cost per thousand impressions\\],\" Kamireddy said. They also noticed a decrease in in-app purchases.\n\nThe team needed a data-driven way to diversify their revenue stream and offset their COVID-related losses in ad revenue, so they turned to Firebase. \n\n*** ** * ** ***\n\nSolution \nGameNexa needed to pivot from a one-size-fits-all strategy to a diversified revenue model that was tailored to their users. To do that, they needed to know more about their users and how they behave. So using [Google Analytics](/products/analytics), GameNexa grouped users into segments by language, session duration, country, and more. Then they used Firebase [Remote Config](/products/remote-config) and [A/B Testing](/products/ab-testing) to test variables like ad frequency, placement, and in-app purchase offers on each group to find the most effective offer for each segment.\n\nAs a result of these efforts, GameNexa saw a 2.5x increase in revenue from in-app purchases (IAPs) and was able to bring their ad revenue back up to pre-COVID levels by doubling ad impressions. In addition, by \"creating customized IAP packs with different prices for selected audiences, our conversions increased by 6x,\" Kamireddy said. \n\"Using Firebase, we increased ad revenue without any negative effects on user retention or user experiences,\" he added.\n\nIn addition, GameNexa also invested in improving their app quality for a better user experience. They used [Crashlytics](/products/crashlytics) and [Performance Monitoring](/products/performance) to get actionable insights that would help them improve their app experience across the board. In fact, by reducing crashes by 5x and ANRs (Application Not Responding error) by 2x, GameNexa's user retention and session duration have further increased.\n\nInspired by their success, GameNexa plans to continue using Firebase for their future projects, including testing localized UIs for their global audiences. Through their consulting practice, they also plan to share what they've learned about the power of data, personalization, and agility in the face of adversity with other app developers.\n\n*** ** * ** ***\n\nResults\n\n6x - increase in in-app purchase conversions\n\n2.5x - increase in in-app purchase revenue\n\n5x - decrease in crashes \n\n\"Firebase has been a complete game-changer for our business. It helped us adapt to a difficult situation with the data we needed to improve our revenue stream while keeping users happy.\"\n\n\n- Srinivas Reddy Kamireddy, Director \\& CEO, GameNexa Studios PVT LTD \nTry Firebase today\n\n\nIntegrating it into your app is easy.\n[Get started](https://console.firebase.google.com/) \n\nAll Firebase products \n\nBuild\n\n- [App Check](/products/app-check)\n- [App Hosting](/products/app-hosting)\n- [Authentication](/products/auth)\n- [Cloud Functions](/products/functions)\n- [Cloud Storage](/products/storage)\n- [Data Connect](/products/data-connect)\n- [Extensions](/products/extensions)\n- [Firestore](/products/firestore)\n- [Firebase ML](/products/ml)\n- [Genkit](https://genkit.dev/)\n- [Hosting](/products/hosting)\n- [Realtime Database](/products/realtime-database)\n- [Firebase AI Logic client SDKs](/products/firebase-ai-logic)\n\n[Generative AI](/products/generative-ai) \n\nRun\n\n- [A/B Testing](/products/ab-testing)\n- [App Distribution](/products/app-distribution)\n- [Cloud Messaging](/products/cloud-messaging)\n- [Crashlytics](/products/crashlytics)\n- [Google Analytics](/products/analytics)\n- [In-App Messaging](/products/in-app-messaging)\n- [Performance Monitoring](/products/performance)\n- [Remote Config](/products/remote-config)\n- [Test Lab](/products/test-lab)"]]
