How people find apps

The Apple App Store is an amazing place. Why is that? Well, people with the iPhone that are looking for a particular product or service can go to the App Store, search for it, find the application that appeals to them, then download it to their phone and use it. The best part of this phenomenon is that it can all be done in a matter of minutes, or seconds if you’re super fast! As a business, your company can greatly benefit from making your company available to thousands of people looking for you. Let’s look at how the App Store works.

The App Store can be accessed by iPhone users in two ways: either through the iPhone itself or through iTunes. Let’s discuss the iPhone App Store experience.  While holding the iPhone, users can tap the App Store icon. It is very similar to using iTunes, so the App Store will feel very familiar to most iPhone owners. They are then greeted by a page that gives them the option to look at new apps that have been added and the most popular and frequently-downloaded Apps under “What’s Hot.”  Apps are displayed in a list with up to 5-star ratings and price.  Along the bottom of the screen users will find tabs for Featured, Categories, Top 25, Search, and Updates. Having a good rating will prompt people to try your app so Multichoice will use its expertise to create a very appealing application to get you the results that you are seeking.

Next, users can tap on Categories and see a list of different app categories along with the number of apps in each category. They can tap on a category to browse the list of apps in it. Selecting the Top 25 tab will give users a list of the most popular 25 apps. This allows them to see what their fellow iPhone owners are using and the apps they prefer. People will review and rate your company’s mobile application, and this determines how easy it will be for people to find your business. Multichoice Apps knows how to make your app user-friendly and enjoyable, and this will give users the urge to go give your app great ratings, which will result in more downloads and more popularity.

The Search tab displays a list of available applications as users type in a name or subject, similar to searching for music in iTunes. Once they find an interesting app, they can tap on it and see the price as well as more details on the application. If a user decides they want the app, they can click on it and download it. That’s it! The application will do the rest of the work and eventually lead them to contacting you about your products and services.

You can now see why many companies have developed iPhone apps to promote their goods and services. It is a win-win situation for the client and company – customers get access to the services they need while companies have a chance to easily obtain new customers and provide exceptional service to new customers.

Ways to promote your business app

You have been observing the news and your industry’s market, and you are considering having a mobile application designed for your business in hopes to reach more consumers. Mobile apps are the new thing for the hot iPhone and Android devices, but how can having a mobile application really help you, and how can you incorporate it into your existing technology? Here are a few suggestions.

Twitter

If you have a Twitter page (which you should create if you don’t have one already), you now have something to tweet about! Most people access their Twitter pages through their phones, so having a mobile app goes hand in hand because you can tell people to download your new app, which they can easily do by simply pressing a button or two and going over their app store to quickly snatch it up. Twitter’s speedy but subtle communication style makes it easy to remind your customers of your app everyday without overwhelming them with lengthy advertisements.

Facebook

Facebook is a must have tool for new businesses looking to network fast and for cheap. You can use Facebook to popularize your app by simply updating the status on your company’s profile, as well as provide a link to your website. Facebook also makes it easy for others to share your presence, so by posting one status asking people to download your app, you can easily reach hundreds or thousands of potential customers in no time. Facebook is also frequently accessed by users from their phones so this makes the transition their app store to download your app that much easier.

Youtube

If your company uses Youtube to advertise products or services, you can create a video introducing your application and how it works. Visual presentations are always effective when marketing, and you can use the mediums discussed above to promote the new video, which will encourage people to go download the mobile app to use for themselves.

Multichoice Apps makes mobile applications for the iPhone and Android platforms. Let’s use the iPhone as an example to demonstrate how users will find and use your new app. First, they will browse or use keywords to search Apple’s App Store for available apps in the category that your product or service falls in. It works much like an internet search engine. They will see icons for available apps, and they can then select your company and read a captivating description that accurately describes your product or service. The user can then press “Install” and download the application directly to their iPhone.

What happens next? The user can then open your application and see a screen with your company’s logo and carefully placed graphics to appeal to their senses.  They can then use the options that will be made available to get more information about your company and how to access you or your services. For example, we can customize your app interface to have buttons that users can press to place a direct call to your office or store, get directions to your place of business, send you an email, view a catalog or brochure, or make an appointment right from the app. You are also only one click away from the company’s website.
