Now, when you have a slight idea of benefits, let’s talk about the real deal here. I am mentioning a few tips that can be used to develop a perfect marketing pattern. You will find that the best mobile application development companies are using these strategies to promote their apps already.

  1. Choose The right platform

Choosing the right platform is also important. For example, if your app can be useful for working professionals or business owners, you might want to focus on Linkedin marketing more than Instagram. And if we take the example of youngsters, most of them are using Facebook and Instagram as their favorite social media marketing platform. Moreoverever, according to statistics of 2017, Facebook had 2 billion monthly users which were the highest.

2. Start Early Promotions

While your mobile app is being developed, make sure your audience already knows about it before it gets released. Start giving them signs through your social media. Or, do clear marketing, try to influence your audience, and make them curious. Curiosity might come in very handy for downloads of your apps.

3. Generate Creative Content

Creativity is a must on any Social Media Platform. You have to keep rules and regulations in the mind and generate texts, graphical, or both forms of the content to inform your audience. Figure out trending events that can be related to your application; use them, create context-based on those events, and use hashtags in your content copy.

4. Use Social Media Influencers

Influencers can be really helpful when it comes to marketing. There are many ways influencers use to promote your application. They can make a video including the promotion of your app by showing a demo, or they can just post an ad on their page for a limited time slot to make the audience aware of your application.

5. Promote With Paid Ads

Social media platforms like Facebook and Linkedin give you an option of paid promotions. You can promote pages or specific posts for time slots of your preferred choice. However, promotion costs will vary according to the duration of your ad and the number of audiences you want to attract to these ads. Using paid ads can influence your traffic insights within less time.

6. Quora Can Do Wonders

Quora is a QA based platform. Millions of users are posting their queries on Quora about many topics. Each question posted on Quora can be followed by those who are looking for the answer as well. Moreover, you can find those questions, especially the ones related to your app with a good number of followers, and answer them. Make sure to include a link to your page or application to lead readers on your portal. 

7. Utilize YouTube 

YouTube has a huge number of audiences looking for so many videos of different genres every day. You can create creative videos, animations, tutorials, and target YouTube audiences to promote your app. With the right YouTube SEO, it can be effective to generate traffic for your application.

These tactics which we have included can be really useful. The best thing about Social media marketing is that you do not have to spend a huge amount on them always. Mostly new developers have a limited app development budget. Hence, spending too much on Social Media Marketing is not possible. However, it doesn’t matter if you are using paid promotions or non-paid promotions, you have to keep the consistency. In the world of social media, consistency and quality are the most important elements.
