App Marketing Resources

As we noted in Chapter 5, “Week 4: Maximize Engagement with Mobile Apps,” marketing your app can be as big a job as building it in the first place. The following resources can help you with your prelaunch and post-launch earned media planning.

Press Release Services

Many apps get a big bump in downloads from a good old-fashioned press release. The prMac (www.prmac.com) Apple-specific wire service can be effective at garnering coverage.

App Review Sites and Directories

We recommend focusing your prelaunch and post-launch earned media efforts on reaching out to key influencers. The following lists of app reviews, blogs, and directories can help you determine which sites you will want to target.
