Many Brands, Businesses and Mobile Developers make the mistake of developing and launching their apps without planning how to reach their target audience.
2. INTRODUCTION
TOO MANY BRANDS, BUSINESSES AND MOBILE
DEVELOPERS MAKE THE MISTAKE OF DEVELOPING AND
LAUNCHING THEIR APPS WITHOUT PLANNING HOW TO
REACH THEIR TARGET AUDIENCE.
Sometimes you won’t need to market your app. But
usually it’s a must. The channels you use to promote
your app are typically a combination of what is referred
to as POEM, which is short for Paid, Owned, and
Earned Media. The mix differs from case to case but all
of the communication must be executed with quality
and control in order to achieve the outcome you want.
To see if you’ve hit your goals (yes, set goals!) you’ve
got to measure campaign results. In this white paper,
we will take you through the different media types and
key success factors behind engaging with your users
and driving traffic to your mobile services.

YOU CAN MARKET MOBILE SERVICES THROUGH
AN ALMOST ENDLESS COMBINATION OF PAID, OWNED,
AND EARNED MEDIA.
There are thousands of marketing tools, services and
channels that can help you promote apps and mobile
websites. All the choices make it difficult to pick and
choose, but if you get it right, marketing can deliver an
amazing return on investment.

4. PAID MEDIA
Paid media includes all the display
media seen on websites, apps, posters,
and e-mail messages as well as TV
commercials, radio and print ads,
and more.
When it comes to paid digital media
you usually have the option to payper-view/display (CPM) or pay-perperformance (CPC). The choice for each
case depends on how attractive your
content is. If your ads and channels
have high click-through rates, per-pay-
view will be more efficient; otherwise
pay-per-performance is a safer bet as
you will know exactly how money is
being spent for engagement. If you
have time and resources, the best way
is to experiment.
Ad networks usually distinguish
between blind and premium networks.
Blind means that advertisers can target
a specific audience or content category
but have no control over where the ads
are displayed. Premium networks on
the other hand, can give advertisers the
choice of targeting specific sites,
The key differentiator of Facebook is
Sponsored App promotion. Not only
is it great for targeting a specific
audience, but the ads embedded
into newsfeeds can also display which
friends already use the app, providing
users with social proof that the app
has value. Facebook app promotion is a premium mobile
ad service in terms of cost, but you
get what you pay for which are high
—
quality users that actually perform
actions in the app.
Checkout 51
A Canadian e-commerce discount app called
Checkout 51 obtained 10,000 installs in just two
days with Facebook’s app install ads.
Gun Bros
Tapjoy is another premium app
promotion network offering
several great targeting methods
including Pay-per-install and Payper-engagement. With the Payper-engagement option you only
pay once a user has performed
a specific action, e.g. opted in for push notifications.
However, skeptics believe that the user incentive model for
accepting advertisement in exchange for virtual rewards
will result in less loyal users than other ad networks.
There are hundreds of app and
mobile ad services available but based
on our experience the most reliable
and resource efficient ones today
are Facebook, Tapjoy and Google
Admob, outlined below. All three
offer pay-per-app install, which means
that you can easily plan and forecast
the budget for a certain number
of app downloads. Other great ad
networks include Adfonic, Millennial
Media, Apple iAds, InMobi, Buzzcity,
Greystripe, Jumptap, and more. For
a good overview of the mobile ad
networks, visit MobiThinking.com.
In 2011, a game called Gun Bros saw its
downloads increase from 2.8 million to 6.8 million.
The company attributed the success to Tapjoy,
which allowed them to quickly acquire users and
engage them without requiring cash payment.

player in mobile. With Google Admob
campaigns, you create ads and choose
which apps and mobile websites you
want the ad to appear in, as well as
choose your target audience.
by Zynga, experienced a 250% increase in new users after
making use of Google’s cross promotion and house ads.
According to Econsultancy, the text-ad campaign
accumulated 11.9 million impressions and a 500% increase in
downloads. We recommend Google Admob as part of the
mix for most campaigns.
You can also run house ads, which are ads that appear in your
own app encouraging users to share their activity. Spooky
House Studios, a development studio recently acquired
Billboards and posters are great for
awareness, but, if used alone, have a
low conversion rate for downloads.
Poster advertising has generated good
OUTDOOR DISPLAY
ROI for many brands and is popular in
ADVERTISING
public transportation when it is contextsmart. This type of display advertising
usually includes QR codes, SMS shortcodes and links to the
mobile website to drive engagement. Qualcomm Mobile
created a campaign called the Best Bus Stop Ever, which
included a poster that displayed a completely relatable bus
shelter question, i.e. “Bored?” or “Seen it all?” and a mobile
web URL. When people visited the site and pressed a button,
they would get a surprise ride in a horse carriage, or even
a bus full of puppies! The Youtube video quickly garnered
2 million views in just a couple of days, and organic visits to
Qualcomm’s website grew by 28%, proving the campaign
effective for awareness, engagement, and increasing traffic.
Another good example of outdoor advertising that drove
engagement is the IBM & Ogilvy France Smarter Cities
‘Smart’ billboards that might double as, say, a rain shelter.
A rainy day would provide perfect context for interaction.
The display ads drove 50,000 unique page views to the URL
provided in just a couple of days, but over months have
made the campaign go viral and spread massive awareness
to IBM’s Smarter Cities project.
Rando + Rando Billboard
Ustwo’s bright red “you have no friends and
nobody likes you” billboards have drawn much
attention to their new app Rando, but the
company didn’t expect the display to drive
downloads; the purpose was to get people talking
about the brand engagement.

6. Another type of paid media is abovethe-line promotion. This is media that
steps out of the computer and breaks
into the outside world through ads on
PRINT
the television, radio, and other forms
ADVERTISING
of traditional media. It gets your brand
message out, but should be combined
with below-the-line personalized advertising so that users
can relate to the brand message. In March, chat-app Line’s
CEO, Jeanie Han, told TechCrunch she was putting more
focus on above-the-line advertising with commercials, radio,
print, and more. This includes ads in magazines, newspapers,
and more. By May, Line had 150 million users, a third
of which had been obtained in the past 3 months.
ColorSnap
Colorsnap is a color matching app by paint company
Sherman-Williams. In 2009, after a $15,000 ad buy, the app
landed on the top 25 most popular list in the app store.
These kinds of display ads generally work better with some
sort of interaction for engagement. ColorSnap, mentioned
above, now has a print ad in a well-targeted magazine
(Food Network) that encourages users to color match items
in the image with a QR code linking to a mobile site that
features not only a download link but also a product search
and store locator. By adding an SMS call-to-action to a simple
newspaper ad, Ford saw a 15.4% lead conversion. Leading
mobile marketing company Hipcricket’s CMO said it was the
most exciting thing he’s seen in mobile. In 2012, Marks and
Spencer installed a special interactive billboard in London’s
Waterloo station for Valentines’ Day to increase multichannel
sales. When an app was downloaded and opened, the user
could view the model in the ad come to life in the app. The
campaign seems to have been effective, as M&S reported
an 18% increase in multichannel sales that year.
This is probably the most expensive
way of purely driving downloads but
is very efficient in driving large scale
brand awareness. Generally TV adverts
cannot be justified to promote a mobile
TELEVISION
app on its own but they can be a very
efficient media when used for crosspromotions, for example when an airline promotes the new
app in addition to new destinations or a loyalty program.
There are several ways to go about TV commercials:
Brands such as Geico and Hotels.com have also had
their own TV commercials for apps. After Line put a
commercial on air in Singapore, its iTunes rating in the
country soared to #3 in overall apps, staying in the top 10
for nearly a month!
• You can work out a co-marketing arrangement with a
mobile manufacturer and have your app open in the
phone during the ad, like how Angry Birds has shown up
in numerous smartphone commercials. This is the most
common way mobile apps are featured on television.
• Use Shazam to recognize music which then triggers an app
or mobile website to load where the song can be purchased.
Line TV
Commercial
After line put a commercial on air in Singapore, its
iTunes rating in the country soared to #3 in overall
apps, staying in the top 10 for nearly a month!
• Another option is to run your own television campaign.
King, the maker of Candy Crush, took this route and
became the first developer to advertise its game
independently on TV. It appears that the first Candy
Crush commercials began popping up more and more in
March, the same month it became the most popular game
on Facebook. Also, according to App Annie, the game’s
download rank soared from the month of March onwards.

7. OWNED MEDIA
This category consists of all the websites, apps, mobile sites, Facebook pages and
blogs that your brand owns and manages. If you succeed in attracting your target
audience to your own properties then this will be the most sustainable solution in
the long run.
Every app needs a mobile website and
every website needs a mobile friendly
version of the site. If your website is
already a destination for customers like
many service brands (airlines, restaurant
MOBILE WEBSITE
booking sites, etc) then this is the place
to start promoting your apps as well.
Otherwise, you need a basic mobile website to ensure that
there is a place for customers to find your app through search
engines, blogs, etc. The most successful mobile app websites
usually include interactivity to get users engaged. According
to web info company Alexa.com, since Instagram provided
app content consumption (but not the whole app experience)
on its website, its global site rank increased about 30 places.
Leverage your existing page or create
a new page on Facebook, Google +,
Twitter, and LinkedIn. Get users to talkwish them a happy Friday, or ask them
questions about the app. Candy Crush

has a whopping 34 million likes on
Facebook and constantly asks its users
to share photos of them playing the app. This has become
more difficult since Facebook changed the algorithms for
how frequently the content is displayed in the news feed but
it can still be efficient if executed well.

reasons. If your video is really awesome
it could spread like wild fire and help
your message reach a much wider
target audience. Otherwise, it can be

used to demonstrate and educate users
about your service. Videos could even
bring viewers into the gameplay, like Limbo and Mimpi do,
or humorously deliver the context in which your app would
be used, like Facebook Home did. What’s great about online
video promotion is that with some good art direction, you
can guide the way you want your app to be perceived by
users. Look at the app Paper by FiftyThree, a beautifully done
app promotion video that got 1.7 million plays on Vimeo and
became app of the year in 2012, or Jotly, an app that didn’t
exist until its original parody video was so successful that its
studio had to make it into a real app.
Paper
EMAIL
NEWSLETTER
If you already have one, this is a great
way to promote your app via e-mail.
Wunderlist, which was app of the week
in over 100 countries in 2011, has a
newsletter that not only updates users
on upcoming features, company news,
but also unfinished tasks in the app.

On Slideshare, it’s all about making
presentations that are informational
or entertaining. LinkedIn, Salesforce,
and many other companies and brands
make use of Slideshare to deliver

valuable content to their users. A
great example is TEDx, a contentbased program that presents independently organized TED
events, or “ideas worth spreading”. Its channel consists of
presentations on different topics from various speakers. TED
reports having 800 million views total outside of YouTube.

9. EARNED MEDIA
One of the most powerful types of
media is the kind that you get through
recommendations, public relations,
sharing, organic search traffic, and
news articles. It’s promotion that occurs
either because your product is good,
or because someone was looking for
it, not simply because you paid for it.
The best type of marketing is word
of mouth; having real people talk
about how great your app is provides
credibility. This is called earned media
and according to research by Nielson,
77% of consumers are more likely to
buy a product they learned about
through friends or family.
Besides the reasoned list above, earned
media is also especially attractive
because this type of advertising is
FREE! That being said free is never
really entirely free due to the effort
needed. Nevertheless, earned media
does offer some great ways to help you
drive traffic to your app:
Sell your app on independent
app stores like Amazon, Samsung,
Mobango, Mobile9, Getjar, etc. The
more places you make your app
APP STORE
available, the greater the likelihood it
DISTRIBUTION
will be discovered. A huge advantage is
that independent app stores have more
specific users so you are able to target markets that are more
engaged in what the store has to provide. They also offer
different kinds of benefits to developers that decide to sell
in their stores, such as the option to sell your app as a white
label, or a better revenue split than 70% / 30%.
Submit your app to websites that
have review-specific sections, such
as appadvice.com, appstorm.net,
148apps, and MacWorld. This may be
BLOGS AND
a bit difficult as these websites get
REVIEW SITES
numerous submissions, but these sites
can provide good exposure for your
app. There are also numerous blogs that generate a lot of
traffic you can leverage. Try reaching out to these bloggers
and ask them to review your app; this was Snapchat’s
strategy—the creators’ first choice blogger was Nicole
James, a writer for Fuse.tv. She wrote about Snapchat’s
first release as Picaboo on her personal blog in September
2011, around the same time the app’s ranks began to climb
according to AppAnnie.com. Now, Snapchat is an $800
million company and one of the top apps.
If paid media is not an option, you
can always try to contact journalists
and bloggers (the terms are rather
fuzzy these days) to cover your app
through interviews or other types
MEDIA
of public relations. Many news sites
that cover tech, such as Mashable,
Techcrunch, BusinessInsider and Entrepreneur, have contact
info that allow you to submit your app’s pitch. If they like
it, they’ll write about it for free. Mashable and Techcrunch
offer online forms as well as tips on writing your application.
Another option is to get interviewed. Several startups, such
as Snapchat and Instagram, have been interviewed and had
those interviews published on websites such as BBC News.
Alternatively, invent a solution as huge as Twitter, like Jack
Dorsey did, and you can have an entire segment on CBS
News’ 60 Minutes.

your application and site with other

through other channels. You only get

trying to get your app featured you may be asked to make

numerous User Interface and User Experience changes
with Apple’s development relations team before getting

IT’S ALL ABOUT EXECUTION. TO ENSURE EXECUTION HITS
HOME, FIGURE OUT WHO YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS AND
HOW TO SPEAK TO THEM.
No matter how little or how much content you produce,
it’s got to be great quality. This includes copy for
advertisements, beautiful images and rapid testing to
optimize your campaign and reach as many people as
possible. The first thing users will see about your app
is your content and how it’s presented. Visuals are the
first context clues that give your brand a personality
and tells users what to expect within your app.

12. Rise
When designing your mobile app’s website, keep in mind that
people are visiting the site to get more information about the
app. There are reviews in the app store, but users like to see
the product for themselves before committing to a download.
Here’s how to make a good impression:
Rise, an alarm clock app, was featured on iTunes
as the top utility app. The website design is in
line with the app and easily explains all of the
app’s features.
LOVE AT FIRST SITE Beautiful aesthetics alone are not enough
to make the user want to download your app, but how you
present your app and its features says a lot about your brand.
Is it boring? Expensive? Stylish? It’s all about packaging and
this does not only apply to your actual product (the app) but
any and all visual elements including videos, banners, and
websites.
CONTEXT Through visuals you can show the context of
your app.
Stop the Vom
CONTENT Let the user know what your app is, why they need
it, and how to use it. How easily you communicate this to the
user is a part of how they judge the aesthetics of your site.
Of course, it can’t just be about appearance. What ultimately
drives user retention and engagement is content. What is said
and how it is said is very important. Instagram has over 22
million followers on Twitter and constantly posts short news
statements linking to longer articles. They were featured on
Nestivity’s 2013 list of top 25 most engaged brands with an
average user engagement of about 300 retweets or favorites.
Here are some tips for talking to your users:

It’s not necessary to beg your users to talk to you. It’ll happen

questions; build brand-customer relationships. Depending
on what you ask, this could also help you figure out what your
users need and want.

IT FOR THE NEXT CAMPAIGN. A VERY IMPORTANT STEP TO

Driving Traffic to Your Apps and Mobile Sites · 12
14. For example, if your objective is to build up your brand, KPIs could be the number
of Facebook likes, video views, and app downloads you received through your
promotion. This way you will have solid results from your marketing that you can
use to improve the campaign. For instance, if you have two banners with different
phrasing, you can test both and see which receives more clicks to understand what
works and what doesn’t. There are several tools that you can use to do this:
GOOGLE MOBILE ANALYTICS Google

offers numerous reports and analysis
features that allow you to understand
and predict where your mobile app,
advertisement, and website’s traffic

out the best way to attract users and
keep them.
Kiss Metrics tells you more about your
customer by tracking and identifying
users to build a history on their
behavior over time. It assigns a random
ID to any unidentified user and if this
user becomes a customer (i.e. registers
via form), the system pairs the ID with
a name or email address. You get

AS MUCH AS THEY DO.
However, marketers can easily annoy customers
with anything from not reaching out enough (which
according to Gartner can lead to a 15% churn rate in
existing users) to over-promotion (48% unfollow on
Twitter because of too much self-promotion). When
there’s a will, there’s a way, and when there’s a way,
there’s a way to do it wrong. Here’s how:

role model; they have been connecting
with their customers through the

2013, have not stopped marketing their

nourishment, after all, most of an app’s
growth comes after the first promotion
when it lands a spot in an app store
because according to Nielson, over
60% of smartphone users discover apps
through the store.

17. CONCLUSION
THERE ARE ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES WHEN IT COMES TO
PROMOTING YOUR MOBILE APPLICATION.
The best way to understand all your options is to figure
out who your audience is, what they need, and how
to reach them. With this information you can brew the
right communication mix and maximize your campaign.
After plotting a marketing strategy, dedicate time,
energy, and budget to the execution. You can forget
about the hype if what you are producing is not quality
content. Finally, when everything is in motion you
can track the commotion. Driving traffic to your app
won’t be easy, but your marketing campaign will be
much more effective if given proper success criteria
and metrics. Just spending money on promotions and
ads won’t cut it. The key is to be prepared and have a
solid plan for what channels you’re going to use, what
you’re going to say, and how you’re going to see if it’s
working. Once again, it’s very important to have a well
thought out strategy.
