What to consider when using apps with Awin
Partnerships
We recommend partnering with advertisers whose sites are app/mobile-optimised. To see a list of these advertisers, complete the following steps:
-
Log in to the Awin UI
-
From the main menu go to Advertisers > Join Programmes
-
In the left-side panel under ‘Filter By’, select 'Optimised for Mobile' to see advertisers who are mobile-optimised, and select ‘App Tracking’ to see advertisers using app tracking.
After confirming that the advertiser has appropriate tracking and mobile optimisation in place, you can apply to their program. When approved, use your chosen app to promote them the same way you would on a website – with text links, banners, and Datafeeds.
To learn more, see Which advertisers have mobile app tracking?
