User retention is the life line needed for your website. The very core of user retention is not just a fancy metric but a reflection of how magnetic - sometimes called sticky - or compelling your site is. Each time a user is drawn back again we can count the challenge and reward has been nurturing the user and retaining them.

Master the art of user retention!
When we talk about user retention we have to remember this is an art. Re-engagement is about understanding and measuring the frequency with which users return to your site after their initial interaction. Often this is broken down to daily retention, over how many days did we retain a user, but this is not true for all sites. Some are monthly appointment, some weekly and some are more interspersed using impulse opportunaties.

User Retention in Mobile Games
In today’s digital age countless apps and games are seeking attention from a user. Retention has emerged as a key metric in the success of that app or game. However, often is is not just about acquiring users when we talk about a website, do you think about keeping them engaged and loyal to your platform? Is user retention so crucial?

There is a direct impact on you COA/ROI with every user you retain. The value your user provides can be measured in a few ways. Monetary, virality and Engagement. Some users are more likely to make purchases and this is directly related to adding value in the cash sense. Some view ads or open emails which helps the business improve its score with 3rd party providers. Some are viral, spreading the word, a type of Word-of-Mouth marketing user as we might think. Either way, the more users you retain, the less you spend to get new ones and more value you can acheive with them.
