Snapchat Geofilters

Rising Media Costs
With the growth of buyers’ requirements the prices are rising as well. A bad practice is to establish a cost for the entire campaign. It is preferably to select a price for every ad group or for each publisher. This way you have a higher control over your campaign and it is easier to measure return of investment.
Declining Organic Uplift
As MarketingLand highlights marketers experience a very low organic multiplier, which means that the number of organic installs obtained after a paid install is very small. The solution for advertisers is to concentrate their efforts in attracting organic installs to improve the situation that became worrisome, from 1 : 1.5 to 1 : 0.2 0.5. Let’s not count only installs anymore and focus on attracting users with high lifetime value.
