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.

Going Social? Go Mobile!

During the 1990’s, the internet can be viewed from today’s perspective as being under construction. Many homes were just becoming familiar with the world wide web and its capabilities. Businesses were in the same place, as they had no clue what this phenomenon would mean to them in the future. In the next decade, the internet started to boom with social media. Myspace was the first mainstream introduction to social networking, and Facebook later took the lead. Twitter, LinkedIn and other websites are now carrying the torch while new social media is being created and launched everyday. Companies now realize how important it is to reach the consumer, and they realize that they can now create a more personal experience by reaching into the customer’s social network and identify with them while also figuring out what the customer wants and needs from the company. This can be considered marketing at an intimate level!

New mobile technology such as the iPhone and iPad made by Apple, as well as the Andriod phones, have made marketing to consumers much quicker and easier with the concept of mobile applications. These apps can be downloaded by customers from their phones’ app stores and installed directly on the devices, which allows them to quickly access a company’s services much like a website but it creates a direct link so that customers can access information and contact the company with just a few taps on the screen. The new trend in today’s business world is to integrate mobile apps and social media, and use both to reach customers.

Importance of social media marketing

Any person that is familiar with running a business knows that marketing is essential to the success of the company. It is also often regarded as the most important component of any business strategy. Large companies can easily spend millions of dollars on marketing agencies to promote their products and services. However, smaller companies that would like to cut costs look for more creative methods to make their presence known. When competition is as fierce as it is in today's business markets, social media marketing is an economical way for smaller and newer companies to reach a vast amount of potential customers in a very short time.

What exactly is social media marketing? In terms as simple as the concept, it involves using social media formats such as blogs, social networking community sites, or video sharing networks to market a product or service. Why is social media marketing so effective? Here's why: popular websites such as Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Flickr have over five million visitors everyday. Therefore, promoting a business through these portals is attractive to small companies because they have a steady stream of traffic that is virtually constant.

Many small companies take the wrong approach when stepping into the social media marketing arena. This is easy to do because business owners think that by simply creating a Facebook page their profits will shoot through the roof! Guess what? That isn’t necessarily the case. Why? Because when thousands of people and businesses create Facebook pages everyday that adds them to the millions of pages that already exist in the network, how will someone possibly find them? You have to know how to market your products and services, and you will need a professional to do this. More importantly, you must know that a Facebook page alone won’t produce the results that you need. You need a complete social media marketing package that can be put into action by a reliable company, and Multichoice Apps (www.multichoiceapps.com) can do this for you.

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.
