A recent survey by Comscore reveals thatthe number of mobile-only internet usershas surpassed that of desktop-only, withmore than 50% spending their digital timeon mobile apps.

“How to market a mobile app so that it gets the maximum attention, downloads and
engagement?”
Mobile sites will give way to mobile app
An app bypasses the need to go on to the Internet and make a purchase. To the marketer, it provides the opportunity to hyper-personalize. Flipkart’ssearch results on mobile, automatically open in the app (if it is downloaded) or link to download it from Google Play in the SERP.
Not just ads but deep linking to internal pages
Mobile-app content now has the opportunity to rank on Google via mobile search. Businesses are, therefore, having to increase the number of deep links they are building to mobile-app content.
Apps will promote other apps
Apps coming from the same developers are promoting each other, such as Lenovo’s ShareIt promoting CleanIt and CloneIt, and TrueCaller promoting TrueMessenger app.
Usage of mobile-based social media
Instagram ads allows “Install Now” option for mobile users. Facebook & twitter ads have a similar option as well.
A multi-pronged approach to reach audience
1. Send an in-app notification 2. If app is not open then marketers send Push Notification
3. If push notifications are disabled then Send an Email
Geo-Fencing & Geo-Targeting will take lead
The in-built features of smartphones, such as iBeacon, NFS, Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS, etc., would be used extensively to elevate marketing efforts, thus, requiring a major reshuffle in marketing investments.
Promotion through videos will not stay behind
Video usage on mobiles is increasing heavily, however this is all coming from app usage rather than videos present on a mobile website.
• Using QR codes for discovery, promotion, downloads and offers.
• PPC advertising
• App store optimization
• Incentivized downloads by tying ups with brands to improve customerexperience; for example, Dropbox offered additional cloud space toSamsung users if they installed the app on their mobile device.
• Brand-App tie-ups for pre-installation and immediate discovery andengagement; for example, Apple and Samsung’s tie-up with Flipboard.
Tactics from 2015 that will continue to rule
• App discovery would not be limited to app stores. So make your apps discoverable at all possible places. Have lots of pages on your apps and turn indexing on for search.
• People use apps to survive from the daily grind. So if your apps provides continuous value then users are more likely to stick to it. In fact, 38% of the users are likely to install the app only when it’s essential to do so. However, half of them uninstall it once that task is done.
• The easier it is to download, the better it is for marketers.
