Marketing Your Mobile App, The Steps For Continued Success

Here are some tips for continued success in marketing your app to new users and maintaining your existing userbase.

Ask Users For Feedback
If people are using your app constantly, it is a sign that have made a connection with the product. Give them the opportunity to express their opinions with a popup invitation to leave a review, but remember that user experience should not be sacrificed by this tactic. Think about when and how you want to ask for a review and make sure it flows well with the user experience so it won’t frustrate users. The more strategically the popup is placed, the better the chances are for a positive review.

Consider A Burst Campaign
A “burst campaign” is one of the most popular techniques used by mobile app marketers who want to climb the app store ranks. The idea of a burst campaign is to provide a “burst” of exposure for your app in which you aggressively purchase paid media exposure over a short period of time – usually between 24 and 72 hours, depending on budget.
The goal is to get as many paid installs as possible, boosting your ranking. All this with the hope of increasing the volume of quality organic installs – that should follow when the app is finally ranked high enough to be discovered. While you should attract more organic downloads from a successful burst campaign, continued paid advertising will maintain steady downloads. You need to keep the momentum going.

Offer A Referral Bonus
Offering your users a bonus or benefit when they promote your app online is a surefire way to get them to spread the word. With a staggering 3900% growth rate, Dropbox is an excellent example of how powerful referrals can be. The company had just 1,00,000 registered users in 2008, which climbed to a staggering 4,000,000 registered users within a mere 15 month period as a result of their referral program. This post from Localytics explains how Dropbox used referrals to exponentially increase their user base

Paid ads and digital promotions can further help reach potential users. Once launched, keep your audience engaged through notifications, social media, and updates.

To grow your app and keep users engaged, start by asking for feedback at the right time to get positive reviews without disrupting the user experience. You can also run a burst campaign, where you spend heavily on paid ads over a short period to boost your app’s ranking and attract organic downloads. Additionally, offer a referral bonus to encourage users to spread the word. Dropbox grew massively using this strategy, and it can help you expand your user base quickly.

Here are some tips for continued success in marketing your app to new users and maintaining your existing user base.

Ask Users For Feedback

to ask for reviews, but remember that user experience should never be compromised by this strategy.

Think carefully about when and how to ask for feedback. A well-timed popup—perhaps after a major achievement or successful interaction in the app—can make users more likely to leave a positive review. Strategically placing these requests ensures they align with the flow of the app, avoiding frustration or interruptions.

Additionally, incorporating a feedback option in your settings menu gives users a less intrusive way to share their thoughts. Responding to user feedback, whether positive or critical, demonstrates your commitment to improvement, fostering long-term loyalty.

By prioritizing strategic marketing steps and engaging with your audience, you can ensure your app remains relevant and continues to grow. Always keep an eye on emerging trends and adjust your approach to meet evolving user needs. This approach strengthens both user retention and the overall perception of your brand.

If you're looking for more actionable tips to boost app visibility or refine your marketing efforts, check out resources tailored to app developers. Whether you're on Android, iOS, or both, maintaining focus on user experience is key to achieving long-term success.
