What is the primary goal of utilizing cross-promotion within your own portfolio of apps, besides increasing downloads for each individual app?

Besides increasing downloads for each individual app, the primary goal of utilizing cross-promotion within your own portfolio of apps is to increase overall user engagement and retention across your app ecosystem, thereby increasing the lifetime value of your users. By introducing users of one app to your other apps, you are creating a network effect where users are more likely to stay engaged with your brand and continue using your apps over time. This can lead to increased in-app purchases, subscription renewals, and overall revenue generation. Cross-promotion can also help to reduce user churn by providing users with alternative apps to explore when they are no longer actively using a particular app. Furthermore, it reinforces brand recognition and loyalty, as users become more familiar with your portfolio of apps and associate them with a consistent brand experience. Finally, it can lower overall marketing costs by leveraging your existing user base to acquire new users for your other apps organically. However, it is key to only cross promote apps that meet a similar user profile.
