iPhone App Marketing

Simple…easy ways to market your new phone application in this new video.

Last week, I had the opportunity to talk with several people about app-vertising and all new opportunities for advertising on smartphones and iPads. One of the areas I have been really impressed with is the development of phone applications that are both practical and branded. Of course, one of the challenges after creating a new iPhone application is how to promote it.

One of my conversations last week centered around all the “fun” ways to market a new product. What I discovered in my research was that sometimes the most simple methods for marketing a new mobile application are completely overlooked.

These are some of the concepts I cover in the video:

SEO for the new phone application

  • consider using underutilized search words like “how to” or “how do”
  • take into account all the keyword variations: iphone, phone, mobile, smartphone, app, apps, application

Paid Search for the new application

  • don’t forget to bid on the name of the application and all the variations

Links on the home page for the new phone app

  • this could be as simple as a navigation link
  • consider an image or text with a call to action to have them download the app today

The ability to find the apps from an internal site search

Banner advertising in the Content Network (this company was effectively using retargeting but only in a generic way)

These principals go beyond just marketing a brand new phone application! They go for any new project launch.
