The number of apps in app stores hit 4 million in 2018, stars and rankings were won and lost, and having a great product was far from enough. You could easily lose positions and users over the smallest details. 2019 doesn't promise to be less challenging, so you should have a smart app promotion strategy to survive (and win!) in tough competition.

To help out product owners, marketers, and the ASO community and bring more clarity to the questions like How often keyword optimization ought to be done not to lose ranking? What are the ASO tools to rely on? How to improve your retention rate? we came up with a series of online events.

We are happy to announce upcoming sessions and will be adding more dates and events. All of them are free to attend and include the best practices and actionable tips from international ASO, Mobile Marketing, and Customer Success experts as well as members of the AppFollow Team. We will meet on Tuesdays, 3 PM GMT, so save the day in your calendar. If you are in a different time zone — don’t worry, we are planning to add more options.
