Misschien is er een eenvoudige oplossing en volstaat wat extra uitleg
om de klant blij te maken. In veel gevallen volstaat het al om naar een
ontevreden klant te luisteren en begrip te tonen, om verdere negatieve
uitlatingen op het internet of bij vrienden te vermijden.
Een goede ondersteuning en communicatie wanneer een consument
jouw product of dienst gebruikt, heeft tenslotte als belangrijk effect dat
deze voor een volgende aankoop minder ver gaat zoeken. De explora-
tiefase wordt minder belangrijk en er wordt sneller beslist om opnieuw
jouw merk te kopen.

36. What’s your objective?
• We’re looking at getting
traction with a broad
audience who doesn’t yet
know they need us ...
• We’ve got loads of
customers, but we want to
keep them from running
of to competition ...
• We offer a popular service
people look for on the
web, we just need to get
them to OUR app …
• Loads of traffic on the site/
app, but we can’t get
them to actually buy our
stuff ...

online real-estate you control for
100%.
• You control the design
• You own the data

personalise the site

of your audience

other tech startup)

identity!

community and service channel

Which advertising channel?
58. Start from the customer/user
• Why would they download your
app?
• To make life easier …
• Get fast access to information
they frequently use.
• So NOT for one-off
communication purposes!
59. Study the market!
• Study the categories you want to
be in!
• Look at the top app categories
for Google Play and iOS. Users
sometimes browse through
category pages for apps to
download.
60. Once in the app store
• Reviews matter!
Do whatever is necessary to not
get bad reviews in the first place,
and try to get people to change
their reviews after they’ve left a
bad one.
• Screenshots are a window into
your app.
• Think about your app’s name!
Will it be easy to search for and
easy to find?
• Don’t rely on the marketplaces
alone for new traffic.
There are simply too many apps
now and you are a needle in a
haystack.
