Three New Ways to Monetize and How Backflip Studios Uses Them
The average game developer only monetizes 2-3% of their customers. What if you could monetize 100% of them? We'll talk with Bryan Mashinter from Backflip Studios about three new ways to do this. In this session you'll learn about: Amazon Underground, where customers get premium apps and in-app items for free and developers get paid for all of the minutes used; Merch by Amazon, a self-service on-demand T-Shirt printing service with no out of pocket cost to you; and Amazon Coins, to help deepen engagement and improve your ARPU (average revenue per user).
