On the podcast we talk with Nathan about the strategic opportunity of web2app, how and when to use web2app, and why one app found success using webinars in their web2app funnel.

Top Takeaways:
🔑 Web-to-app opens up opportunities for small apps
Smaller apps can use web-to-app strategies to improve cash flow, gain better attribution data, and test acquisition campaigns with smaller budgets. It’s an effective way to experiment with paid growth without relying solely on app store mechanics.

🎯 Gain full control over the user journey
Web-to-app lets developers craft highly personalized and seamless user journeys. Build onboarding flows, quizzes, and paywalls tailored to your users, free from app store restrictions.

🌎 Reach untapped audiences with web-first content
Web-to-app opens the door to users who don’t convert directly through app ads. Channels like blogs, gated content, or webinars are excellent for capturing lower-intent users and nurturing them into app subscribers over time.

💸 Increase revenue with smarter sales tactics
Web-to-app enables upsells, cross-sells, and product bundling that aren’t always feasible in-app. This strategy is particularly effective for higher ticket subscriptions or apps looking to diversify revenue streams.

📣 Leverage unique channels to drive growth
Web-to-app expands the range of channels you can use effectively, from influencer campaigns with trackable links to affiliate partnerships, YouTube ads, and beyond. Each channel provides new ways to engage users at different stages of the funnel.
