Interview

What did the service include besides development?

Product promotion was an additional service. Our marketers have compiled and implemented a promotion strategy for VKontakte, as well as carried out ASO optimization in app stores.

What was the VK promotion strategy?

First of all, we created a group. The main bet was on bloggers and partner publications in thematic publics. We have developed a database of influencers, agreed on a promo on favorable terms for our customer. Additionally, targeted advertising was launched.

What results have you achieved?

The number of subscribers has increased from 0 to 7K. The number of product mentions exceeded 2500 per month. The product became widely known in the game community. SKIN PLANET has been installed by more than 50,000 users, most of whom found the app through a Google Play search.

Project architecture

We have thought very, very carefully about the server architecture to make sure the product is stable. We also took into account all the chains of interaction between the participants of the affiliate program and implemented the correct data exchange.

Admin panel

The admin panel is one of the best parts of the product. It contains impressive functionality, while remaining simple enough to understand. It has built-in logging options, collecting analytics in real time. The system has successfully passed stress testing and is able to cope with a large number of users. The collection of information about prices, Steam store updates, promo codes is fully automated.
