How to Measure the Success of Your Club App

Downloads are vanity. Engagement is sanity. Here are the metrics that actually tell you whether your club app is working.

Downloads Are Vanity

A thousand downloads means nothing if nobody opens the app. Focus on the metrics that indicate real value.

Metrics That Matter

Engagement - Daily/weekly active users - Push notification open rates - Content views per user - Session duration

Retention - 7-day and 30-day retention rates - Membership renewal rates - Churn rate

Revenue - Sponsor revenue generated - Membership revenue attributed to app - Cost per engaged fan

Realistic Benchmarks

Download rate: 40-60% of your active fanbase in year one
Weekly active users: 30-50% of total downloads
Notification open rate: 20-40%
30-day retention: 40-60%

Monthly Reporting

Create a simple one-page report covering: 1. Active users this month 2. Top content by views 3. Notification performance 4. Sponsor impression data 5. Key actions for next month
