This analysis provides a comprehensive overview of Taponn's hypothetical SaaS metrics.
Here are some key takeaways and strategies based on these metrics:
The most pressing issue looking at the data, the most immediate concern appears to be the engagement rate. The DAU/MAU ratio of 0.2 indicates that only 20% of monthly active users are engaging with the app daily. This low engagement rate can lead to other issues like high churn and low conversion to paid plans. So, let's focus on this first:
Step 1: Improve Engagement (Daily Active User - DAU Rate)
Current metric: DAU/MAU = 0.2 (100,000 DAU / 500,000 MAU)
Goal: Increase DAU/MAU to 0.3 in the next quarter (150,000 DAU / 500,000 MAU)
A user is considered "activated" on Taponn when they:
An "active user" has performed at least one of these actions in the last 30 days:
Daily Active Users(DAU) / Weekly Active Users (WAU) / Monthly Active Users (MAU)
Why this metric:
