How To Promote Your App

How To Promote Your App

What's The Point?

Without proper promotion, no users will likely find your app in the app stores. Over the years, we at Gallus Golf have discovered some tips and tricks to get the word out about your mobile app.
It's NEVER too late to start promoting!

Here's What We Recommend:

The simplest way to get downloads is to put a link on your website. To find your link and some graphics to use, follow the below steps:
  1. Log into your Gallus Golf Admin Dashboard.
  2. Click the Promote App tile in the center of the screen.

  3. On the ensuing page, you'll find a Smart Download Link to be used for app promotion.

      1. The Smart Download Link can tell which type of phone is accessing it and will automatically redirect to either the Google Play Store (for Androids) or the Apple App Store (for iPhones).
  4. Scroll further down the page and you'll find a variety of promotional files that can be utilized on your website. Here are two of our favorites:
    1. Web Banner
      1. Designed to be utilized across a webpage, this is an excellent way to gather attention to your app on the home page of your website, along with any others you'd like to add it to.

    2. Phone_Icon
      1. Designed to provide a visual snapshot of your app on the latest iPhone, this graphic can be an excellent attention-grabber on your website and any other promotional items you create.

2) Post About The App On Social Media And Emails (And Keep Doing It!)

Proper app promotion doesn't stop after the initial launch period. It's a constant process that requires you to remind your audience that they are missing out if they don't have your app on their phone. Utilize the following graphics on the bottom of the Promote App page to get the word out:
  1. Social Media
    1. Optimized for posts on Facebook and Instagram, this graphic will garner attention from your audience. Just come up with a caption and you're good to go!

  2. Facebook Cover
    1. One of the most underutilized advertising sections is the Cover Photo of your course's Facebook profile page. Get more downloads by uploading it today!

  3. newflyer
    1. One last resource is the flyer, which provides a snapshot of the features of your new app in a simple graphic.

3) Print Materials

Some users need a quick reminder once they're at your facility that they need to download the app. Utilize the following graphics on the bottom of the Promote App page to get the word out:
  1. Cart Sign
    1. Users are more likely to download the app for GPS when they actually need it on the course. Download the Cart Sign graphic to give them a quick reminder.

  2. Course Sign
    1. Another valuable piece of real estate on the course is the tee box of each hole. This graphic was designed to be placed on particle board with stakes in the ground, but use it however you'd like.

  3. Poster
    1. Most clubs have space on the walls of the clubhouse for posters promoting current happenings. This graphic should fit into your decor nicely.

  4. Tent Front/Back
    1. These graphics are made for table tents to be placed on restaurant tables or on pro shop desks.


  5. newflyer
    1. One last resource is the flyer, which provides a snapshot of the features of your new app in a simple graphic.

4) Add A Smart Banner To Your Website

Some users may visit your website on a consistent basis and are not aware that everything they do there can be done on your app (and much more!) To remind them, you can place a Smart Banner on your website.
