2. “Instead of one-way
interruption, app marketing is
all about delivering useful
content at just the precise
moment that a buyer needs it.”
– David Meerman Scott

3. BEFORE

4. 1. Make a marketing plan.
Communicate a strong value
proposition. Competitive
analysis. Define target customers
and KPIs. Select channels
accordingly. Price suitably.

5. 2. Have a killer website. Optimization.
Keywords. Analytics. Lead generation. QR
downloads. Engaging content (video). 3rd
party reviews. Blog & social news.

6. 3. Add app analytics to
learn about app store
analytics, user behaviors, and
to track campaign results. Do it
way before launch.

7. 4. Drive user
engagement by
developing in-app
(communicating) and
push messages (stay
in contact). Context
matters a lot for your
messages.

8. 5. Start building a community. Find
early-adopters and create a conversation.
Learn from their feedback. A Facebook
Page is a great place to do it!

9. 6. ASO - App Store Optimization.
Objectives are traffic and ranking
high. Keywords, differentiate from
competitors. Metadata - icons,
screenshots, texts, updates.

10. 6. Earned Media - Influencers.
Compile a list of related bloggers, review
sites, press, etc. Connect with them and
ask for reviews. Incentivize. Start early
but specially important at launch.

11. 7. Marketing automation tools. Try
and test and get ready for launch. Email
marketing. SoMe management. Other
toolbox (banners, Facebook tabs, etc.)

12. LAUNCH

13. 8. Cross-channel campaign. Add
incentives at each stage of the funnel.
Implement A/B testing. Bought media
is critical at this stage. AdDuplex is a
fair deal for starters with low budget!

14. 9. Monitor & tweak.
Measure each bought
media channel and
improve in real-time.

15. AFTER

and feedback. And do it
regularly.

18. 12. Owned and Earned Media.
Keep blogging and connecting.
Take care of earned relationships.

19. 13. Regular campaigns.
Schedule at least 4 campaigns
a year. Use bought media.
Look out for marketing
cooperations!

20. 13. Add good karma!
Always try in all you do. And
this world seems to need it!

21. May the force
be with you!
