Back to nurturing an app from ideation; let’s see what are the basic things you should do to engage your app users.
1. Problem Solver
An app without reason is like a person without a spine, it won’t stand out. Have a problem that you can solve, there’s a niche audience awaiting your app already. When you present your application as a solution to any problem, it’s not just a part of marketing, but also assures your audience that you understand their hurdles. It builds credibility and gives you a loyal audience.
2. Push Notifications
Do you remember the nudge feature on Facebook? Yeah, that’s what push notifications are like. The only difference is push notifications are not as annoying. Push Notifications are the notifications for your system from the app and it notifies you of any update, promotion and could also be used for gentle reminders. So don’t forget to implement them. If the user has been busy enough to ignore your app, they are likely going to at least check the notifications. Make it as interesting as it can get.
3. Gratification
You do realize that customers have utilized their valuable time into your app, don’t you? Make sure you are rewarding them with quality content they can actually use. Encouraging your users to stay connected to the app can go a long way and gratification is one of those methods. If you give your customers a subscription, gift them a bit extra for their loyalty. It can be a third-party partnership, appreciation or a physical thing depending on your strategy. But don’t forget to encourage them with gratification.
At the moment, the most popular tactics used these days are digital gifts as discounts, free app purchases or third-party integration that could have been hard to get otherwise.
4. Trial Room
Leave no stone unturned to give your customers the best experience they can ever get from your app. One of the most common ways is the trial period for a premium version. You can create a trial version along with gratification for in-app purchases during your mobile app development or you can give an option to subscribe to a premium version directly. What does this accomplish? It reveals the value that your app development brings. It also helps the user to understand why they need to purchase the premium version.
