âą Searching for an app developer has led many businesses down a different
road than they wanted for their business app. An app can really help a
business grow into something much more. You can discover a new source
of revenue, but ultimately you can promote your brand in a variety of
ways and push new products out to your audience. Before you invest in
any application development however, you should think about what you
want in an app, what the app will do, how much it will cost and if it's the
best way to reach your audience.
3. What's the Main Benefit
âą Apps need to be useful for people. They provide some kind of information,
tool, entertainment, news or other resource that someone wants to use. If
your app is really innovative and cost a lot to make, you may want to
charge a fee for being able to download your application. However most
applications that are downloaded are free. You should come up with a list
of things that your app will do for your audience before talking to an app
developer.
4. What are Competitors Doing
âą Of course you don't want to be like competitors, but it doesn't hurt to
compare your idea of a good app with what's out there. In fact someone
may already be doing what you did. The key here is to take it a step up and
do something really innovative and different that will allow your users to
really enjoy your app.
5. How Will It Look
âą When you look at other applications, you should also take note of the
design and functions. What do you think works? What doesn't work or is
unnecessary? You should identify the three main things that you want
your app to do and show how that can be integrated with the design.
While you don't need the specifics mapped out entirely before talking to
an app developer, you want to have an idea of how it will look, function
and make money.
6. How to Make Money
âą Most applications today use one or two of these three paid models. An
app may cost a small fee to download, or you can offer a free version with
an upgrade version that costs a price. These are called subscription apps.
You can also offer apps with in-game or in-app purchases. In addition, you
can create revenue with free apps by using display ads or if you are
developing a radio app, you can create short commercials for sponsors.
7. What Devices are Important
âą App developers will want to know what devices you want your app to
work on. Right now there are the obvious two front runners, which include
iPhone and Android. There is also Windows and Blackberry applications
that you may want to develop for your audience. This ultimately depends
on what devices do you think your audience mostly uses and if it's worth it
to provide universal support, which will cost extra. In addition, you should
make sure that the app will function on all types of devices.
