I was hoping to get some suggestions/advice as to how we can promote our mobile app, Email++ for BlackBerry smartphones. We are a start-up IT farm focused on Mobile App development. We have a very good product as the reviews on AppWorld is clearly indicative of that. Anybody who installed it found it really useful as it comes with some features like converting emails into calendar event like, Appointment,Memo,Task,Meeting, being able to view preview of incoming emails no matter in which app (configurable) you are in, reply/forward with edit, instantly access gps location and email it to any contacts, etc. The detail can be found in either AppWorld or MobiHand. The 3 day trial version is fully functional, and can be easily extended just by sending email about Email++ to any of your contacts.AppWorld: http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/58884 MobiHand Trial: http://www.mobihand.com/product.asp?id=741055 MobiHand Paid: http://www.mobihand.com/product.asp?id=739154
FYI, we recently ran a contest in cooperation with zMANBLOG, http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=2330860
As a way of marketing/promotion of Email++, we are now giving over 40% discount at $2.99 (regular $4.99) during the holidays! We hope that consumers would take advantage this price.
The best way to promote your blackberry App would be on Blackberry forums and websites. I would specifically target those sites that discuss the problem or cater to customer that your App would satisfy.
Advertising on BB forums and blogs, also it will rank up in the blackberry app. world. Did you try Google adwords ?
PC Mechanix & dir_waleed, thanks for the suggestions. Yeah, we have contacted some of the bloggers/forums of BlackBerry Apps. Here is a link to a such blog posted a prominent blogger on BlackBerryOS: http://www.blackberryos.com/blackberry-apps/27377-giveaway-5-copies-email-review.html. We have not tried Google adwords yet.
