We know that getting mobile website visitors to download and use your app can be a challenge, so Journeys focuses specifically on helping drive app growth and engagement by turning your mobile website into your largest source of app installs. Journeys is one of the most popular products at Branch because it offers customizable, flexible, and targeted smart banners, interstitials, and pop-ups.
We’re excited to continue making Journeys even better to build upon best practices as well as advanced use cases. We’ve recently made quite a few changes to improve usability, provide more creative flexibility, and offer insightful data to improve decision making.
