4. 1. Have Control Over the
Process
Often times publishers and content owners hire third
$$$
parties and lose control over the entire process. Losing
control can result in a product that is not in line with
your vision and you content or brand may not be
presented properly. It can also result in escalated costs.
Therefore, maintaining control of the following
components is key:
$$$ - Creation of content and UI/UX of your tablet offerings
- Changing content
- New technical features
- New device capabilities

5. 2. Consider Technology Solutions That Will Scale
Generally a development project may have an immediate need to fill, but we often forget about the long term
maintenance and resources required. As a content owner, you want to be able to reach the largest audience possible
across multiple operating systems and devices. Does the device optimize the experience and audience that you want to
reach? Do you have the ability to expand on this product over time?

6. 3. Be Aware of Market Changes
Tablet sales are growing leaps and
bounds. But it’s not just about iPad
anymore. Android is expected to
grow and outpace iPad in the years
to come.
Understand how the different tablets
meet different audience segments
and their needs.
7. 4. Know Your Audience Self-explanatory. It’s important to customize the business
model and content plan for each device/platform.
8. 5. Use Data to Guide Your Strategy
Get as much data and analytics on your users and their behaviors as you can. Leverage that
information when iterating product, content and business strategy.
