Everyone Wants their App to
Be Famous
Everyone Wants their App to
Be Famous
Good reviews give your app credibility


Tier 1 reviews = links and traffic


Positive buzz for app and company
Why...?
App Reviewers Get TONS
of Requests a Day
The Good News...?
You’re in Control
          The Good News...?
Follow these 7 Guidelines
to Get More Attention from
     The Good News...?
 Reviewers and Make Your
        App Famous
1. Start Early




The Good News...?
1. Start Early

                      Lock your launch date early


Don’t wait for code complete to contact reviewers


          Start PR at least 1 month before launch
2. Build Relationships
2. Build Relationships

Follow your favorite reviewers on Twitter


Leave genuine comments on articles


Get out to conferences and in-person events


Use your network for introductions
Always Try to Build
Relationships First, but, if
 You Do Need to Start a
Conversation Via Email...
Simple, short emails
work best

You have 1-2 sentences to «hook»
the reviewer

Use headings to break the email into sections while describing
your app (formatting helps!)

Include links to the app stores, trailer, visuals, etc.
Never take a «shotgun»
approach – reviewers hate
template emails

Come up with unique angles for each site
based on their readers’ needs

If writing to a specific person – be flattering, tell them you love
and follow their work (you already do... right?)

Give something special – preview build, exclusives, promo codes
4. Get Creative
Don’t Limit Yourself to
  Email... Try Video
Messages, Postcards,
      Promo Art
Warning: Avoid Sending
Outright Gifts to
Reviewers
Don’t Put Anyone in an Awkward Position
5. Use Pull
Mechanisms
Create Excitement: Build a
Community on FB, Ask Your
Fans for Personal Reviews,
 Use Social Proof in Emails
       to Reviewers
6. Think Beyond Traditional
Review Sites
6. Think Beyond Traditional
Review Sites
Look for non-app sites that target your audience


They can be easier to reach and still have a big following


Join relevant social media communities


Build your social network and then use it!
7. Be Targeted
Don’t Kill Yourself Trying to
Contact 100’s of Sites. Pick
the Top 20-30 that Matter
  and Know them Well.
Questions?
