Tile's 2 tactics

Life360 · B2C · family location and safety app

Sell trackers at low margins to pull people into the app and keep them longer
Tile owners retain better than non-owners; Pet GPS requires a subscription

Buying a Pet GPS or Tile tracker leads people to sign up for Life360; Pet GPS requires a subscription, so device sales double as subscriber acquisition. Devices are not a loss leader but pricing indexes toward reaching more users rather than maximizing device margin. Tiles extend use cases (e.g. in a young child's backpack before they have a phone).
