App marketing
Made simple.
Mahesh Khambadkone – CTO and Co-Founder – Games2win.com
Credentials
We made a # 1 and # 2 app in the world
10 marketing lessons we learnt(and then some…)
1. Android first – iOS later
2. Let the app float on ITS OWN
3. Read the comments. Each one of them
4. Make fixes. Douse fires. In lightning speed.
5. Listen to chatter!!!!
6. Reply back & pat your users on their backs!
7. Watch country ranks and their correlations
And leverage the global market
• Launch in specific countries to play-test– Australia– Middle East– Scandinavian Block
• Consider localization of your content
8. Don’t advertise.
• Unless you have a + ROI LTV
9. Update, Update, Update!
• Parking Frenzy became #1 free app on iStore
• We realized that the app was being played and ‘viraled’ amongst female tween audiences!
• It was logical therefore for us to promote our best girls app to this tween girl audience!
10. Cross Market like hell
Our #2 app on iTunes Store was promoted in Parking Frenzy!
Super Mom app Super Mom ad in Parking Frenzy
Voila!• Super Mom started climbing up on iStore rankings!

Other must haves
Discovery

Relevant copy
Motivate Users
• Positioned at right places• Be relevant without interrupting
Share buttons Rate Me buttonNotifications and Alerts
Most Importantly .. Strive for Product Experience
• Keep trying – we were 30 games down
• Play-test (outside of your comfort team)
• The audience is hyper casual
Summary1. Your app is your marketing. Your marketing is
not your app.2. Listen to consumers. They will tell you what
they want. Build the app for them – not for yourself.
3. Don’t spend money on advertising. It’s a waste.
4. Be obsessed by Ratings. They matter like hell.5. Let consumer market your app via viral
channels6. Update like mad. Each update is a marketing
event (Updates and notifications)7. Don’t get obsessed by naming your with the
alphabet A for better listing. Temple Run starts with a T.
8. Try to understand the target audience and leverage a global market.
May the WIN be with you!
