TPMA Recording of App Promo Presentation “Succeeding in the Business of Apps: App Marketing & Monetization”

We recently presented on “Succeeding in the Business of Applications: App Marketing & Monetization” at the monthly Toronto Product Managers Association (TPMA) meeting on April 24, 2012 here in Toronto.

Event Description:

“Mobile Business Apps: Marketing & Monetizing. Mobile Apps are part of just about every new product introduction these days. Whether the Mobile App is the core product, or whether it is a peripheral feature or add-on to help use your main deliverable – launching and effectively marketing it is part of the new reality.When businesses and product owners start conversations about launching a mobile application, discussions focus on user experience, functionality and code. Money and effort are spent on the design and development but strategies to help the application succeed are often forgotten or left out. This session aims to shed light on the challenges app owners and developers face in making a business of their applications and marketing it effectively. Gary Yentin and Tom Emrich use their years of experience in product marketing in the mobile space to highlight the strategies, tactics and steps needed to drive your apps’ success – despite a noisy and saturated marketplace.

[PRESS RELEASE] App-Promo launches First Annual App Developer Survey to Understand App Success and Highlight the Business Side of Applications

Developers responding to the Survey will be entered to win $1,000 in App Store Optimization Services

Toronto, Ontario, Canada (PRWEB) April 10, 2012

Leading app strategy and marketing agency, App-Promo, has kicked off its first annual App Developer Survey focusing on the business side of applications. The goal of the survey is to reach out to the community and get a deeper statistical understanding on how developers are doing with their applications especially from a monetization and marketing perspective. The survey will be active from April 6 through to April 22, 2012 and can be found at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/devsurvey042012.

App Developers from iOS, Android, BlackBerry, Windows and Symbian are encouraged to participate. All participants will be entered to win $1,000 in App Store Optimization services. Individual survey results will be kept confidential.

“After years of working with developers and app owners helping them succeed with their applications, we wanted to put together a statistically valid report which articulates the challenges and difficulties we are seeing firsthand with our clients. We definitely see a deficiency in industry conversation around the business side of app development and thought that the best way for us to shed some light on this subject was to initiate this survey and follow-up with our findings” says Gary Yentin, CEO & Founder of App-Promo.

App-Promo intends to publish trends and statistical information in an annual report that will be available on their website in May 2012.
