research, do a customer analyses, market
demand and then come up with a unique app
strategy with originality intact.

end

Playstore or App store or both.
❑ App user reviews to identify their likes, dislikes, and mixed
reactions
10. #7. Poor strategies in Promoting,
Branding, and Advertising
• With millions of apps releasing each year,
emphases should be laid in branding, promoting,
and advertising the app. Use the strategy of
running ads on social media, youtube or
mainstream press etc. Come up with a great
content that lists the salient features of the app
that target the particular group. Ensure you have
a unique app icon and title as a perfect branding
strategy for your app.
11. #8. Unsystematic Launch Strategy
For the success of a mobile app, a developer has to go
beyond development and design. Follow such
practices on launching your app:

vloggers and other channels. Conduct interviews and
press release & spread the world about your mobile
lauch.
✔ Publicity in Social Media- Instagram, Twitter, and
Facebook to gain visibility.
