You can collaborate with few bloggers who are in the same niche as you are, and can connect with their audience directly. Since it is their favorite blogger promoting your brand, high chances are you will connect with them on a more personal level. This will also ensure higher user reliability on the app.

Putting your websites QR code on your visiting card, magazines, apps, social media, anywhere, will directly take the user towards your app. Just a scan through their phone and they are good to go, and this will save you from the trouble of personally reaching out to them to download the app.

You can post your link directly. This will ensure a direct engagement with your users. And you never know, how much can a user help you in so many regards. Connecting with them on a personal level is always good.

Host a giveaway

This is one of the most commonly used technique by social media influencers, you can collaborate with them and host a giveaway, which will include conditions as basic as tagging friends, promoting your app or page. This will widen your reach among the people.

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.

These were certainly some marketing tricks we advice our clients to use. If used properly, they can work wonders. Just keep in mind while building your app to crater a niche and serve them with all you got.
