How to promote mobile app?

In marketing the minute it becomes an APP? the question is always now what? The now what is treat it in terms of marketing as if it were a product.

If you think about an app being a "Product" your ideas of how to market it change.. you would build a website.. you would leave comments on parallel blogs.. you would do all of the things you would do selling a product...

Really no different than selling a toaster. Understand who is going to use your app... ( Identify ) target those people and bring them to a site.. Qualify them as wanting your app, then close the deal. ( send them to iTunes / Google Play to get it )

Below are some tried and tested strategies for getting your app noticed by those that matter to you:

App Review Sites

If you Google App review sites, you will get tons in your search. Pitch your app to sites and they can generate a lot of buzz if they mention it in a review.

PR

Getting press is by far the best way to generate a lot of noise for your app. When you're able to tell a story about how your app came about, writers and their audiences will love it. An app is a product, so it only makes sense to use this strategy. With people sometimes lost in the world of apps, make yours stand out with a great story. The story should be entertaining and find a practical spot in people's lives and hearts.

Content Marketing

By utilizing content such as a blog post, ebook, white paper or case study that steers your intended audience to your site, with a clear call to action that communicates how your app can help them, you can generate a lot of downloads. Implement as many sharing capabilities as you possibly can. Showing catchy videos with real people using your app or using real life situations will help you connect with your intended target more organically and will increase your video content's virality. The power of video not only tells, but also SHOWS.

Social Media

One way messages in the appropriate forums on Facebook are good, but tying your message into active conversations is a great way to go. Create a cool icon that shows up with your posts and immerse yourself in the conversation.
Twitter is great for connecting with those who are part of your target audience.Twitter / Search should be your best friend.

Make it FREE

They say the best things in life are free and with your app, it should be no different. You can always put a price on your app, but encourage downloading for free at launch. Your free promotion is newsworthy and should be communicated everywhere possible, with the goal being bringing your customers the best user experience.

App of the Day Services

To have your app featured on of these services could provide a huge boost to your app downloads. These are highly trafficked sites that can help you get your app in front of a lot of potential users. It also helps build a loyal fan base. These services are well respected and held in high regard among app users.

You can share and recommend it by sharing its link on Facebook, Whatsapp and every possible business page you have on social media. This will work for limited audience and if you want rapid increase in downloads, you have no other option than paid one or ASO!
