Don’t assume everyone will think your idea is as great
as you do; step away from it, ask strangers for
feedback (NOT FAMILY & FRIENDS)
Don’t assume you will quickly start making money to
pay the bills; have a back-up plan for how you will
operate financially
DOA MARKETING PLAN; don’t just assume that
putting it on the App Store will make you a fortune
(we’ll discuss this more later)
Whatever you believe will be your revenue, cut it by
75% - then you might be close
Whatever you believe it will cost you to develop and
market it, double it - then you’ll be close

Make sure to know who your
target customers are; there’s
no point spending time, money
& effort building an iPhone app
if your target demographic is
using a Blackberry
Have an understanding of
market share by OS; how
many people REALLY have
an iPhone? How do you
reach the rest of them?

Mobile Apps
Studies indicate:
Many of the apps we see today are a result of brands and agencies
jumping on the bandwagon and taking advantage of the current
consumer focus on the App stores.
As the volume of Apps increases, and the drive towardApp stores
declines, there will be a return to web content. Nokia,Google and many
others are already predicting this and encouraging web-based Apps or
widgets rather than complex native code that is dependent on platforms
and versions.

25. Launch & Market
Mobile Apps
Industry experts indicate:
The rapid growth of more capable smartphones looks set to continue, but there
are likely to be limits to the growth in apps and the way they are distributed and
discovered.
A single app store with hundreds of thousands of apps is not good for the
consumer or the developer.
There is likely to be a more open market where developers can choose to publish
via a standard app store, in one of many specialist app stores or directly from any
number of websites, including their own.
There will always be a place for apps – graphical, highly demanding apps such as
3D games, but just as we have seen on the PC, many apps are now being
delivered as web apps – including productivity tools like Office products from
Google and Microsoft or photo editing tools like Photoshop or Picasa.
