Demo video
Okay, you can’t sell something to someone who is not even aware of what your app is for. This is where demo videos come handy. You can create a demo video showcasing how the app works, the audience it caters, and why they should download your app. But don’t invest much in creating a video, this can only be used when the users are aware of your app.
