Case Study

Case Study:
Advertiser Goals Through
Dynamic Price Optimization (dCPI)
MiniClip
What is dCPI?
dCPI or dynamic CPI, is a price optimization process whereby
the payout offered to publishers varies according to the quality
of the installs delivered. The quality is itself measured by
analyzing LTV data, i.e. specific post-install events in the app
advertised, and benchmarking it against the advertiser’s goals.
10
Case Study:
Advertiser Goals Through
Dynamic Price Optimization (dCPI)
MiniClip
• Substantially grow their user base for their classic title “8 Ball Pool”.
• Reaching a specific benchmark ROAS 7 (Return On Advertising Spend 7
days after install).
Objective
• Miniclip integrated post install events through their MMP of choice with the
DataLift 360 platform
• Utilized dynamic pricing (dCPI) to allow the DataLift 360 platform to find
the optimal price valuation per traffic source
Solution

Advertiser Goals Through
Dynamic Price Optimization (dCPI)
MiniClip
Result
• With LTV data postbacks after the point of install, AppLift’s proprietary
platform learned the expected user funnel
• Utilizing dynamic CPI pricing (dCPI) the DataLift360 platform was able to
continually scale the performance & volume while hitting Miniclip’s target
day 7 ROAS goal
• After three weeks of dCPI optimization, the ROAS 7 surged and stabilized
well above the advertiser’s target while weekly install volumes sustainably
increased by over 100%
12
Case Study:
How did we do it?
MiniClip
During 3 weeks of testing
• We increased payouts up to 4 times for high-quality sources, thereby
securing additional traffic from those qualitative publishers.
• Thanks to flexible payouts, we also explored new pockets of
inventory, which acted as a traffic booster for the campaign.
• Weeks after the test, both ROAS performance and volume level
remained at there desired level.
