User Retention Mechanism

Definition

A user retention mechanism is a strategic feature or program implemented within a platform or service designed to encourage continued engagement and prevent users from discontinuing its use. These mechanisms can include loyalty rewards, personalized experiences, community building initiatives, or value-added functionalities.

They aim to foster a loyal user base by consistently providing value and positive experiences. This is vital for long-term growth.
