For consumer subscription apps in 2024, "things have probably never been better" 📈 After a rough couple of years, consumer subscription apps are leaner, more focused, and driving real growth again. This week on the Sub Club Podcast, Eric Crowley from GP Bullhound shares what’s driving the rebound and how companies are boosting retention, battling platform threats, and finding success in 2024. In this conversation with David Barnard and Jacob Eiting, Eric covers: 📈 Why the industry is bouncing back and what it means for app founders 💡 How to boost Net Revenue Retention in consumer apps 🔍 Using Maslow’s Hierarchy to build stronger connections with your users 🛡️ Defending against platform threats like Apple’s “Sherlocking” 🚀 How Flo achieved a $1B valuation by focusing on long-term user retention 🎧 Search for the Sub Club podcast wherever you get your podcasts — and find links to listen, watch, and check out GP Bullhound's CSS report in the comments. Some quick takeaways: 1️⃣ The industry is back — After setbacks in 2022 and 2023, surviving companies are now more resilient and showing strong growth and profitability. 2️⃣ NRR is achievable — Top apps are driving revenue growth through smart pricing, family plans, and premium features while keeping churn under control. 3️⃣ Maslow’s Hierarchy can guide your strategy — Identify where your app fits to understand which features will resonate most with users. 4️⃣ Specialization beats platform threats — Apps that go deep in their verticals can offer experiences that native OS features can’t match. #AppGrowth #SubClubPodcast
