In-app event reminders as a demand signal before launch
Track how many people tap Reminder on an App Store in-app event before it starts, and use that as the first read on whether the event pitch is strong enough.
Why this can grow a startup
Event launches usually get judged too late, after the live slot has already been spent. Apple's in-app event analytics give an earlier clue. Reminder taps show whether the event card and detail page are convincing enough for someone to ask the App Store to bring them back later. That makes reminders a useful pre-launch demand signal. If impressions are high and reminders stay flat, the event story probably needs work before more traffic gets pushed into it.
Source-backed example
Apple's in-app event metrics count event impressions, event detail page views, and reminders, defined as the number of times users tap the reminder button to request a notification when the event begins.

When to use it
Use this when App Store, Analytics, Launch is relevant to event launch, mobile analytics, demand validation and you can run a bounded test with a free budget.
When not to use it
Do not use it as a substitute for customer evidence, a clear owner, or a measurable stop condition. Local platform rules and market behavior still need checking.
How to do it
- Choose one target segment and define the exact next action this tactic should prompt.
- Adapt the tactic to App Store and Analytics, using evidence from App Store Connect Help as context—not as a promised result.
- Record a baseline for: Target users from this channel who complete the intended first action. Set a guardrail that would make you pause the test.
- Run a narrow pilot and choose a test window that fits the normal decision or use cycle; do not scale before you have observed the full cycle.
- Compare the signal with its baseline. Scale only if the intended action improves without crossing the guardrail; otherwise revise one variable or stop and record what you learned.
