Hello Product Developers,
I think I'll jump in here...
Why not just open your own store? Yes, it is slow starting out, but
word-of-mouth is the best advertising around. Do a spread sheet and see
if the lack of income in the beginning would be made up for once you
start getting some sales where *YOU* keep all the profit.
As far as advertising goes...
<> Create useful utilities with your own particular personality for the
genre you are targeting as freeware with subtle connections to your,
more advanced offerings.
<> Sell some items on eBay, craigslist, etc. and include pictures that
have "www.mygreatproducts.com" in text at the bottom of the pic. Be
creative! [PS - Please forgive my ignorance of venues beyond the USA.]
<> After setting up your store, sign up and be somewhat active on forums
in your genre. Include simple links in your signatures. (Make sure it
isn't against the rules.) :)
<> Enter into "handshake agreements" with other developers here that
have their own stores and symbiotically put links to their stores on
your page and visa-versa.
<> [Place your creative selling technique here.]
This is my marketing scheme, unfortunately all of our businesses are
being developed. We *will* be operational and viable by summertime, so
I guess check back with me in a year. :)
Hope this inspires someone? (If it does, please post back with your own
ideas! :)
Fair winds,
Calvin
