NOTE

Embrace Seasonality, Innovate in Downtime

Seasonal behavior is inherent in certain app categories, particularly in education, where user engagement dramatically decreases during summer. Companies must recognize these natural user dynamics, which cannot be overcome by marketing efforts alone. To mitigate the impact of seasonal lows, organizations can strategically use downtime for substantial product investments, such as preparing major launches for back-to-school periods or addressing technical debt. Expanding internationally can also serve as a buffer, allowing companies to draw users from regions with different seasonal patterns. Lastly, diversifying the product offerings to include elements less affected by seasonality can provide additional resilience against dips in usage.
