Thanks Jeff, I enjoyed the article. You provided some effective marketing guidelines for iPhone App developers. Our team just released a GPS-based social networking app called “Toodalu”. It's available for free on the iTunes store. If you get a chance to check it out and have any advice, please don't hesitate to shoot me an email.

Thanks!
Chris

This is very useful info for sure and of course there's a lot more to it as several people mentioned in comments.

My first App ITGO Interval Trainer GO has been featured in several stores including the US as a Staff Favourite this week. Comparing all the advertising, reviews, press releases etc nothing has compared for impact and sales. I knew I had the best interval trainer in the App store and with Apple's blessing I was able to bring it to a wider audience which resulted in a huge spike in sales. My App is currently number 36 in the Health and Fitness section.

Take home lesson: The best marketing is the kind that gets Apple's attention.

These truly are great points!
Really having and publicizing that feature of your app that sets it apart from the rest is key.

Of course, there are contract marketing teams available as a resource for developers as well
Feel free to drop me an email for more info in that regard!

This was a very helpful article, as I am currently trying to generate traffic to my website using facebook. I've launched a website that I plan to use as 'home base' for my app. My thought process was to develop the website, generate a following, then get the app developed and published. Sounds like I'm on the right track based on my understanding of your article? I'm in the early stages of the app design, but I think I'm comfortable with who my target audience is and the things that will make my app unique.
I'm headed to Denver in September for the 360idev conference. I really hope to come back home with a ton of info and contacts who'll be able to help me out.

Here is an interesting iPhone app - http://www.dirtymouthapp.com/. The site has a collection of dirty and nice phrases in five different languages and the databank in getting enriched everyday. Currently, it has phrases in English, Italian, French, Russian and Hebrew language. The application also features meaning of the phrases, textually pronunciations of phrases, repeat phrases and pronounce phrases.

Yes, I'm working on some more in depth articles to post that get into more depth. In this article I wanted to do a high level approach discussing some of the basics. I could easily dedicate an entire book to just social networking approaches. Look for some more articles soon.

Is there any plan for marketing 102?

While interesting, this information won't get a noobie far. Some specifics on what to actually DO would be great, and HOW. Eg a comparison of advertising options, specific recommendations.

Most app developers wouldnt know a marketing plan if it hit us in the back of the head! While telling us to do one is great – how? Same applies to Social networking.

“Take a look at using Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and other social media tools to help get the word out about your app.” – How about smart methods of encouraging people to tell their friends about your app. I have held competitions on twitter, giving promo codes to those who retweet.

Couldnt agree more with you on the pricing suggestions. I personally avoid setting prices to $0.99 – it gives the customer the wrong message.

Love to see more on how how how. The what is great too though

Thanks!
