Hey there! This is Push.House. We continue discussing popular verticals that advertisers at Push.House can effectively promote through our advertising network. The next niche on the list – app installs. Like many others, this vertical has proven itself during pandemics and stands out for its stable adaptation to market changes, offering users technological solutions to meet everyday needs. Let’s dive into what the app installs vertical entails, why consumer demand for app install offers continues to grow, and which approaches are most effective in promotion.
Let’s get started!
App Installs
App Installs represent a vertical of software offers, applications, and browser extensions. This vertical is popular across almost all GEOs and provides users with various software and utilities that simplify and optimize most processes related to using PCs, mobile devices, or accessing the internet.
Users don’t need to purchase anything or make a deposit when promoting app installs. The target action of most offers is app installation. The advertiser receives a guaranteed payout once a user downloads and installs the software on their device.
Features of App Installs
The simplicity of the target action is the primary and most significant advantage and feature of this vertical. Advertisers don’t need to stir up users’ interest in a purchase or motivate them to make a deposit. It’s enough to demonstrate the practical utility and capabilities of the advertised software and wait for the download to complete. This significantly streamlines the advertising process, enabling effective advertising of offers to an interested audience.
Currently, all programs requiring app installation on devices fall under this category. Despite the wide assortment of offers, the most popular products in this niche include:
Antiviruses
Despite ongoing improvements in the security of most OS, antiviruses remain popular even in 2023. Antiviruses have low requirements for preparing promotional materials, offer time-tested approaches, and provide several payout options based on the software:
– CPI: payout for installation.
– CPA: payout for installation and subscription sign-up. CPA payouts are significantly higher due to the complexity of the potential target action.
VPN
Popular services for changing GEO locations gained widespread use due to political instabilities worldwide (sanctions and service blockages) and the spread of cryptocurrency and other areas requiring data replacement or complete anonymity on the internet. VPN payout models include:
– CPI: payout for installation.

– CPA: payout for trial activation or subscription.

– CPI: payout for installation.
