A Free $47 Gift Card to Users Who Buy An App For $7.99 Could This Be A New Trend In App Promotions
Online, March 23, 2011 (Newswire.com) - ---Ever since the app store launched in 2008, Developers have been trying to get their app to the top spot. If they're successful it could mean windfall profits in a short amount of time. Right Brain Solutionz is pushing to become the top To Do List App on iTunes.
So how does an app get to the top? Well number one create a killer app, one that fills a need or solves a problem. But remember, if it's not good, nothing will help it get to the top, period. There are already many "To Do" List apps on iTunes so icondus's strategy will prove a good test. If it works here it should work in other categories as well.
If the developer manages to create a great app, the work is just beginning. They still have to get the word out and get users to download it and write great reviews. This in itself will be the single hardest task they will ever face. They can send out emails, blog about it, get reviewers to talk about it, send out press releases, hope, pray, or make a deal with the devil. So how else can a person get people to try it, besides creating a free stripped down version?
Right brain Solutionz llc, the creators of "icondu" (www.icondu.com), a new "To Do" List iPad app that uses images instead of text to create To Do Lists and manage, data, contacts and more, think they have the answer to making it to the top. They already have the killer app part of the equation complete, now let's see if their marketing plan works.
They have teamed up with another company (www.theidrug.com) to offer a free $47 gift card to the first 1000 users to download their iPad app. So how does the math work, let's see, you buy my app for $7.97 and then they will give you a $47 gift card in return. That's a deficit of about $39 for every sale they make. So if they were to sell 1000 apps they would be in the red $39,000.00!
"To make this work you have to find a company that has something to gain by sponsoring the free gift card giveaway. They might be willing to trade for some advertising on your app, or maybe they would gain future sales from the users who received the gift cards. Or maybe they would gain exposure and profit from the viral aspect of the users telling their friends about the free products they received by redeeming the gift cards" says, P.MGalaviz, founder of Right Brain Solutionz.
In any case, "icondu" (www.icondu.com), is using this strategy to launch their new innovative iPad "To Do" List app and at least 1000 users will get the free $47 gift cards, and if it works they will be sure to have many copy cat developers using the same strategy.
The creators of "icondu" , say they probably didn't need to do this since their iPad app is a one of a kind unique app that allows people to create To Do lists using their own images, or choose from a library of images. They believe people want a To Do List App to be easy and fast, so that means minimal use of the keyboard. It also means, making it intuitive so users don't have to stumble through menus and pages to make a quick or extensive data filled To Do List.
Icondu's (www.icondu.com), creator said, "the day will come when we will no longer need a keyboard, but for now this as close as we have gotten. Icondu uses images to create and manage tasks with just the tap of your finger. It's pretty darn fast and easy".
In fact it's so fast and easy to use they have a video of a cute little 5 year old girl creating a To Do list with the iPad app on the website (http://www.icondu.com/Videos_Screenshots.html). The app truly is amazing and extremely powerful as a data manager, contact manager and To Do List maker.
"We just wanted to do whatever we could to get the app to the top as fast as possible. Our Goal is to be on every ipad". "Wish us luck and speaking of goals, this app works great to create and manage a person's goals in a visual way", says Galaviz.
