Building Community From the Beginning of Development Is a Must!
DEVELOPMENT➤ Landing page with a sign up form to gather early leads and to
build an email database. ➤ Lots and lots of market research and customer development- go
and speak to people. ➤ Getting early feedback. ➤ Identifying influencers and people who might be interested in
your product. ➤ Gathering early brand ambassadors and beta-testers. ➤ Building a reputation inside relevant networks and mobile

Tell Your Story and Make It Interesting!
LAUNCH
Instead of a boring press release, tell a personal story of developing the app. People want to hear stories about people.
Make sure you spell out the benefits of your product well, think in terms of how your app makes the lives of users better or easier.
Prepare a press kit, including app icons, app description, screenshots, press releases, company profile, company logo. You can also go one step further and include video, quotes, FAQ sheets.
