This partnership has been designed to make developers some money…
Demonstrate the Windows store..
We are everywhere.Mention localization. You can capitalize on that and make a lot more money. NOTE: YOU MUST READ THIS BLOG POST FOR YOUR LOCAL DETAILS http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsstore/archive/2012/01/05/global-reach.aspx Buy from 231 markets.. 45 market-specific app catalog..sLocal pricing in 40 markets *** Developer payments in 51 markets.. Is not in slide, keep it relevant to locale **
This is big money .. Big money… Use an example of the math to make it stick… In the apple model, if you had $1M in sales, you would get $700K If on Windows, that would be $17.5K + 780K… == 87.K difference.. If you sold five 10 millions, the difference is $997500 … Making 10 M in revenue is not that hard given there is 500M users!!! At a price of $4.99, you would need to sell to less than 0.5% of the Windows customer base to make $10M..
THIS SLIDE DESERVES A LOT OF TIME… Discuss it by scenarios… Use examples:Existing commerce:Ebay can use their existing commerce system… from within their app and all the revenue of that transaction goes to Ebay.. A company like the Telegraph in the UK Ad supported is easy. Pick your favorite scenario.. Use Wordament if needed; they are in the store and they have a fake adTrials is easy.. In-App Purchases is very innovative.. You can get purchases that expire over time, for example “renting a book” for a week… or using the Premium subscription of animoto for a week and then going back to the basic subscription…
** read the article in the link** Based on our lessons from Windows Phone, apps with trials get 70x more downloads.. And the conversion rate is pretty high (and quick, usually within hours a few hours ) … at 70x more downloads and a 10% conversion you end up with more revenue..
