3 Things About the Power of the Preload in Brazil

Brazil has a teeming market for mobile apps - filled with young, mobile savvy consumers. These consumers, however, operate on mobile a bit differently - which means UA campaign success will also look a bit different. Because of their growing appreciation for the ease and frictionless capability of mobile, they also have a large appreciation for discovery. A recent survey of Brazil consumers validated this showing that the preload opportunity is perfect for the Brazil market.For starters, Brazilians have several traits that make them desirable for Preload campaigns:

1. They spend 5.4 hours per day on mobile compared to 3.9 hours for US Consumers
2. 78% prefer buying in an app versus all other payment options
3. Sales thrive in ecommerce categories: shopping, food delivery, and travel
4. 60% of installations come from ad campaigns

The market has grown rapidly, from a 53.3% smartphone penetration in 2016 to 75.6% last year, and still has room to grow with Statista estimating it to jump to 84.2% by 2026. So new phone users are still growing. And sure enough, our data does show that all methods of app discovery have high levels of interest in the first 3 months of phone ownership. But sustained UA growth in Brazil means understanding how to target consumers not only in those first 3 months - but in the years beyond.Here’s 3 Things About the Power of the Preload

• Preloads rank highest in terms of what’s appreciated: All consumers in Brazil prefer preloads over other UA experiences - with 18% being more likely to find them more helpful than ads and 57% more likely to find them more helpful than going to the store.

• Preloads grow in appeal the longer someone has been using smartphones: While preloads are great for first time phone owners, in Brazil the popularity of preloads GROWS the longer someone has been using smartphones - from 46% in the first few years of ownership to 54% after 5 years.
