Monetization and Apps

Is There An App For That?

Looking to make a purchase, planning a family vacation or needing to do some banking? The first thing we do is grab our smartphone and scroll to find the App to fulfill that order, if not, I guarantee the website you visit will ask you to download their App. Due to the convenience of revisiting the said site, we do just that. We are a society of “access now” and having that little icon available does just that.

These are some of the things the experts will tell you that you will need to consider when thinking about monetizing your app.

 

  • What revenue strategy is best suited for your app?
  • Who is your target audience – be as specific as possible
  • User experience – ensure it’s not negative (at least initially)

When was the last time you needed to do some banking and walked into a building stood in line to make a deposit or pay a bill?

When was the last time you walked into a building to see a travel agent to book a family vacation?

 

I know the answer to both those questions are probably “What” and “Who does that” and of course this can be generational.  The decade we’re born in influences the amount of time we spend online without any definite purpose, some people just don’t surf.  Some of us use apps only to fulfill and replace some mundane task that would require us to visit a building of some kind and be on a schedule.  There is an app for that.
