Where to Go From Here?
In this section we’ve covered what you can do when your product is on the App Store or ready to be released. You can certainly be more aggressive here with your marketing considering you now have a complete product (or at least close to completion) and can easily divulge features, screenshots, videos and more without fear of delays or failing to deliver.
You’ve also seen some advice from fellow developers on the usage of trailers, promo codes, contests, giveaways and getting reviews!
Once again we go back to our mantra of focusing on your target audience. Always keep them in mind when marketing and publicizing your product.
You’re ready for Part 3 of this series, which covers a few of the things you can do well after release in order to keep your app alive and maintain a steady number of downloads.
