You&#8217;ve spent time and money developing a good product and it&#8217;s now ready for the world.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Launching is a critical moment for every mobile app and it requires lots of preparation, researching, pitching and analysis. We&#8217;ve all heard the stories of overnight success and your app might be the next big thing &#8212;&nbsp;though it wouldn&#8217;t hurt to have a detailed launch plan.<\/p>\n<p>After helping lots of app developers get their app(s) discovered, <a href=\"https:\/\/comboapp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>GoWide<\/u><\/a> gathered the most important do&#8217;s and don&#8217;ts for a mobile app launch.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #339966\"><strong>Do&#8217;s<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>1. Pre-launch <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tune.com\/blog\/they-just-arent-that-into-your-app\/\"><strong><u>market research<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Make sure your app can offer unique functionality and can compete in terms of pricing and avoid typical mistakes. Pay attention to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Choosing the best app category in the app stores. Are there alternatives with higher revenues and fewer competitors?<\/li>\n<li>Consider localization. Find top countries by number of downloads and revenue for your app category.<\/li>\n<li>Analyzing direct competitors. Define their key features and monetization models. App store reviews are a direct source of information on competitor apps&#8217; strengths and weaknesses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. App Store Optimization<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As much as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thinkwithgoogle.com\/intl\/en-gb\/article\/mobile-app-marketing-insights-how-consumers-really-find-and-use-your-apps\/\"><u>40% of smartphone users<\/u><\/a> find apps to download by browsing app stores. That&#8217;s why you can&#8217;t ignore ASO, especially before the launch of the app. Here is the minimum you should do:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Find the best matching keywords<\/li>\n<li>Create the app&#8217;s title and description<\/li>\n<li>Make screenshots that will show the best app features<\/li>\n<li>Optimize in-app content<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Remember not to stuff too many keywords into an app&#8217;s title and description. Three or four long-tail keywords are the optimal choice.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Pitching media and bloggers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This part of app promotion is often overlooked by app developers. Creating press coverage for an app is time-consuming, but it helps to attract and retain the target audience. A very detailed content <a href=\"http:\/\/www.outbrain.com\/blog\/2016\/01\/7-detailed-steps-for-marketing-your-mobile-app-launch-with-content.html\"><u>guide for an app launch from ComboApp<\/u><\/a> explains how to pitch media and bloggers effectively. Launch is the perfect time for media buzz and it&#8217;s better to start pitching at least a month in advance.<\/p>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2128 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ckl-website-static.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/1.png\" alt=\"Context strategy for mobile app launch - The Do's and Dont's of a Successful App Launch\" width=\"468\" height=\"361\"><strong style=\"line-height: 1.5\">4. Boost campaign<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Launch is the critical peak in app marketing that should be supported with a <a href=\"http:\/\/gowide.com\/2015\/09\/23\/organic-vs-rewarded-optimal-traffic-blend-for-app-launch\/\"><u>boost campaign<\/u><\/a>. This campaign provides a large number of installs at once and allows you to reach a higher app ranking and thus increases app discoverability. After reaching higher ranking positions, the app will see an organic uplift in traffic.<\/p>\n<p>Even with a limited marketing budget, it is possible to set up an effective campaign with self-service platforms like <a href=\"http:\/\/gowide.com\/appbooster\/\"><u>AppBooster<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #fc6d6d\"><strong>Don&#8217;ts<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>1. Launch an app without a date and plan<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Many developers do not plan a release date for an app. They just submit an app to the app store and wait for it to be launched. A determined release date allows you to coordinate all promotional methods, including a UA campaign and PR outreach, to make them more effective. Having a detailed plan for app launch means that you&#8217;ll be able to prepare content, pitch media in advance, and set up a marketing campaign just in time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. Rush with rating prompts<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We all know that <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@comboapp\/how-to-improve-your-app-s-ranking-with-positive-reviews-and-a-higher-rating-5-simple-steps-5cf244d64aaa#.l8dptf9q2\"><u>positive ratings and reviews<\/u><\/a> can significantly improve an app ranking. Very often app developers ask users to review their app immediately after the install. This results in users abandoning the app, which is bad, or the app getting negative ratings on the app store, which is even worse. According to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apptentive.com\/blog\/ratings-prompts-dont-have-to-suck-inside-mobile-apps\/%20\"><u>Apptentive data,<\/u><\/a> rating prompts that appear during an app launch are 50% more likely to result in the app being closed than if they&#8217;re shown at any other point. Don&#8217;t use prompts on new users. Let them get their positive experience first.<\/p>\n<p>The number of stars directly impacts the number of downloads:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2129\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2129\" style=\"width: 468px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2129 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ckl-website-static.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/2.png\" alt=\"% of consumers willing to consider downloading an app - The Do's and Dont's of a Successful App Launch\" width=\"468\" height=\"201\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2129\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Apptentive Consumer Survey (2015)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><em>&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Neglect data analysis<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Having analytics in place helps to locate issues, improve app functionality, and keep users engaged.
