Having an existing user base for your mobile app is something that every app maker should cherish, however, such a feat still guarantees nothing. Moving forward, even with a solid user base, you should be weary that initial success only lasts so long and it can be increasingly fleeting. Just because your app has been popular in a certain market and has had good download numbers, it does not guarantee anything in the future. In fact, unless you make strides to branch out your app's user base, then your initial success may falter. For such reason, it is important to attract new users to your mobile app by appealing to new markets. To help you do so, here are a few ideas you can try when marketing your app.

Advertise In New Modes

Advertising is one of the best ways to attract new users for your mobile app. What's more, trying out new modes of advertising is an even more proactive method of doing so. For instance, if your marketing efforts have mostly consisted of advertising through print, perhaps trying out some mobile marketing or other online methods of advertising could help your app target new demographics. ...
... In addition, if you have only advertised on social media, you could branch out to other modes of online marketing, such as Google AdWords, or placement on other mobile apps. Doing so, will allow your app to be offered to new audiences and demographics in the hopes that it will entice them to download. In turn, whether directly through sales, or from mobile advertising, your app will produce more revenue, and subsequently increase profitability.

Think Outside The Box

When offering your app to the mobile market, it will only hurt its performance to limit its range of target markets. In other words, if you app’s target market is business professionals from the age of 25 to 45, then it will likely be limited to selling to only that demographic. However, if you think outside the box in terms of marketing your app to additional demographics, such as younger or older business professionals, or even those users outside of the business world, then it will only elevate the reach of your app. Then, with only minimal amounts of extra time, money and resources, you will have successfully extended your target market and revenue potential. It may seem like a simple concept, but you may also be surprised at the number of app makers and marketing experts that sell an app short by not targeting its marketing toward other demographics. It can be very easy to get stuck with only one target market, especially if your app has had a significant amount of initial success. However, you should always stride for more in relation to attracting new users.

Conclusion

Attracting new users to your app may not seem worth the effort, or perhaps even entirely necessary, however, the risk and reward provides an appealing ratio. There really is not much risk involved in branching out your marketing efforts to attract new users for your app. This is especially true if it already has a solid user base. At the worst, your additional marketing efforts will fall short, and perhaps you will lose a bit of money. On the other hand, you have the potential to increase revenue and elevate your app’s profitability.
