How to use rating and feedback prompts to gather email addresses for your game?
Here’s a common situation -
You have users for your mobile game, but don’t have their contact details and hence no way to get in touch with them.
Once they are gone from your game, whether in the first session or first month – they really are gone.
The most effective solution is to gather the most universal online contact information – their email address.
With their email address you then follow up with information and promotions that might appeal to them, you have a channel to get product feedback and help them engage further with your game.
Some developers may integrate a jQuery form or popup to ask visitors or users for their emails. But jQuery form or jQuery popup only provides the UI – you have to create and manage your backend which involves database access, storage and management capabilities – for many developers it’s far easier to use a low cost or free SaaS approach.
