Black Friday and Cyber Monday (BFCM) are the biggest events of the year for eCommerce businesses, and if you’re a Shopify merchant with a mobile app, this is your golden opportunity to maximize profits. But how do you ensure your mobile app is fully optimized for success? The answer lies in understanding your data and using it to guide your decisions. That’s where MageNative’s Advanced Analytics comes in.
Let’s break it down into simple, actionable steps so you can get the most out of your app and make this BFCM season your most profitable one yet.
Understanding Your Mobile App's Performance
When running a mobile app for your Shopify store, having a clear understanding of how it's performing is crucial. You don’t want to just assume things are going well—you want real data to show you exactly what’s happening. This is where analytics come into play. MageNative provides a user-friendly dashboard that makes tracking key metrics a breeze.

Key Metrics to Track
App Revenue: This is the total income your app generates. Tracking app revenue helps you see how well your app is performing financially and shows which sales strategies are working.
Active Users: This metric tells you how many people are regularly using your app. The more active users you have, the more your app is engaging and useful to your customers.
Sessions: Each time someone opens and uses your app, it counts as a session. Knowing how often people interact with your app can guide you in creating better marketing campaigns or making app improvements.
Retention Rate: This is the percentage of users who continue using your app over a period of time. A high retention rate means your app is keeping users engaged and satisfied, while a low rate signals room for improvement.
Push Notifications: Push notifications are a great way to communicate with your customers, but they only work if they’re effective. MageNative lets you track how many notifications were sent, opened, and acted upon so you can improve your messaging strategy.
Using Data to Improve Your BFCM Strategy
Data is only helpful if you know what to do with it. Once you’ve gathered key metrics, the next step is to use that information to make smarter decisions and boost your BFCM results.
Here’s how:
1. Tailoring Your Offers Based on User Behavior
By analyzing your Active Users and Sessions, you can see which groups of customers engage the most with your app. For example, if younger customers are more active in certain sections of your app (say, a sale section), you can create special promotions targeted at that group. You could push offers they can’t resist using the app’s push notification feature, making sure they stay engaged during the BFCM rush.
2. Enhancing User Retention
If you notice a dip in your Retention Rate, it’s a sign that users might not be finding enough value in your app. Perhaps the user experience needs to be smoother, or there’s a lack of personalization. MageNative’s data can show you exactly where users are dropping off, giving you a chance to fix any issues before the big shopping season. Whether it’s improving your app’s navigation or adding more personalized offers, this insight can make a big difference in keeping users engaged long after BFCM.
3. Optimizing Your Push Notifications
Push notifications are powerful tools, but they need to be used wisely. If your notifications have high open rates but low engagement (meaning users open them but don’t follow through), it’s time to rethink your messaging. Are the offers compelling enough? Are the notifications too frequent or sent at the wrong times? Analyzing this data helps you fine-tune your strategy, so your messages are irresistible, especially during BFCM.

Boost Your Average Order Value (AOV)
One of the key metrics in MageNative’s Advanced Analytics is Average Order Value (AOV), which shows the average amount customers spend per order. By increasing your AOV during BFCM, you can significantly boost your ROI. Here’s a simple strategy: Create product bundles or offer discounts on larger purchases. By analyzing customer spending patterns from MageNative’s dashboard, you can easily identify which products tend to be bought together and craft bundles that appeal to your audience.
Tracking Your Success in Real-Time
One of the biggest advantages of MageNative’s analytics is the ability to track your app’s performance in real time. The Choose Range feature allows you to monitor your app’s performance over specific periods—like comparing how well your app is doing today versus last week or seeing daily trends during BFCM. This real-time data enables you to make adjustments quickly, ensuring you’re always optimizing for success.
