Los Angeles, CA, December 10, 2013 - LeadBolt, a global app discovery and monetization platform for developers and advertisers, today announced its seeing an increase of over 47% in app discovery over the biggest shopping weekend of the year as compared to non-holiday periods.
Leadbolt tracked user engagement and app download activity across its network over the three-day period beginning the day before Thanksgiving (November 27) through Black Friday (November 29). During this period, LeadBolt saw mobile app usage increase by over 30% compared to non-holiday trends.
On Thanksgiving Day, app usage increased by 13%
On Black Friday, app usage increased by 17%
Although many retailers have announced that they stayed open, consumers still preferred to stay at home on Thanksgiving, but didnt want to miss out on shopping deals. In addition, they continued to spend throughout the holiday weekend, making the Thanksgiving holiday a natural online sales day for couch-surfing mobile users to get a jump on their shopping which was validated in early predictions by the Adobe Digital Index.
We are very pleased to see that mobile is still a leader in online sales and advertising. The increase in app downloads and app usage across LeadBolts network over the busiest shopping weekend of the year is a great testament to how far mobile has come over the past few years, states Dale Carr, CEO, Leadbolt. With mobile continuing to climb and lead consumer purchasing, were proud that LeadBolt technology equips marketers with alternate methods to reach consumers via mobile advertising and app discovery.
