How to reach out to app developers/owners?
Hey :wave:
Long time lurker, first-time poster here.
We just launched our first project Appect (https://appect.com) a few days ago, it's a landing page builder that turns app store/play store links into beautiful landing pages in seconds. We're really proud of the experience we've created and the feedback we received so far is encouraging tbh.
We're in full marketing mode and It'd be great to get some feedback/ideas from people with experience (that means you!)
Here's our game plan to reach out to people (app developers/owners/indie hackers):
- Product Hunt (done)
- Twitter (done)
- Having the landing page on multiple landing page galleries (done)
- Slack groups about mobile app development (going on)
- Simple Adwords campaign (going on)
- Cold email to the devs of new apps on google play store (to be done)
We're aware it's not a perfect plan but it's something. As I mentioned earlier, it'd be great to hear any ideas/feedback you might have about how to reach out to app developers/owners.
Cheers.
This seems a great and simple tool. A valuable resource considering many developers have suboptimal or no websites for their apps.
Thanks, appreciate it. It does solve a problem for sure but the hard part is reaching out to the people with that problem :)
Ekrem this is fantastic, and your market is pretty large. Personally I would not be doing any ad campaigns until you've outscaled the cold-email approach. Go through the App Store (why just Google Play store?) and start building a list of the support emails. You might be able to build a scraper to check if their App Store page has a website link or not, which would really help you out. Best of luck.
If someone sends us such messages over our support email, guess what we do? Yes, we mark them as spam in our support Tool... 🤨
ok
Yep, that's what we have in mind but unfortunately app store doesn't provide direct emails unlike google play store. Our dev is working on something to automatize this atm. Thanks!
Usually the support page that's linked to from the App Store has an email somewhere on the page. I'm guessing your dev is working on a scraper, but you could go through manually pretty quickly in the meantime.
Really good idea ! Beautiful Landing page, the only problem I see is that your pricing section is not really clear and there is not links that leads to it
Thanks! That's quite intentional, we didn't want anyone to focus on the price directly on the landing page and let them see the value first, we're quite open about it once they get on board.

Oh, that's great. We thought of hacking through quora, stackoverflow, etc. but got frustrated. That'd definitely help, thanks!
