The Case
When 18Birdies started working with Loops, the platform presented an opportunity to improve on 18Birdies’ pre-set KPIs with the “Goal Driver” analysis. This analysis automatically identifies the features that maximize a company’s KPIs using causal inference models, which enable you to get significant results with minimal traffic.
Loops’ unique causal inference models isolate the real impact of a feature by taking into account all the other influencing parameters (e.g., new users, seasonality, etc.) to understand the real impact of the new feature or product changes.
Within hours, Loops presented 18Birdies with two fascinating findings:
- A feature that was perceived to be negligible, adopted by only 1% of users, was causing a tremendous lift in one of the 18Birdies’ most essential KPIs – Day 2 retention, among adopters.
- Loops also identified that the feature impacts other KPIs, such as conversions to trial and overall retention.
This finding allowed 18Birdies to take a concrete action item to improve these KPIs, and they started to give the feature more exposure during their user onboarding.
The Results
After adopting Loops recommendation, 18Birdies presented the feature during users onboarding and saw a 15% uplift in Day two retention, their most important KPI.
A once-perceived negligible feature significantly contributed to 18Birdies KPIs, thanks to Loops’ unique “Goal Driver” analysis that identified this impact even with an initially low adoption rate.
