App Marketing Wake Up Call Infographic

App Marketing Wake Up Call

During my research today I found this interesting infographic. The date from it is from 2012, so the exact figures on it are likely to be wrong, but I would bet the trends are the same. My reason for saying so is because I am one of the developers that, up until recently, has spent little – actually almost no – time marketing my apps.

When My Food Storage first was released, I did a press storm. I created a press release, and cold pitched it to everyone I could think of. That increased my downloads by about 50 that week. Not exactly awesome numbers. I think that of the 100+ PR’s I sent out, maybe 3 places did anything to review or post my app anywhere. I literally haven’t done anything with Go Coder, besides a couple of tweets that were test tweets that were actually seen by a few people.

Personally, I don’t think that I will need to spend any money – actually I hope this with all my heart because I have no money to spend – to do the marketing needed to get apps in front of more people. But I do believe that without spending money I will need to spend a significant amount of time marketing my apps.

Well, enough about why I am where I am – for now – lets get to the infographic. Hopefully this will help some people understand what we need to be doing to get our apps in front of people. Enjoy ?.
