Successful companies win mobile users through utilizing various marketing techniques. Most thriving ones do it right on their websites. In this article, you will learn how to boost downloads of your digital magazine app yourself.<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

App Store is not a marketing machine, after all, it is just a store selling apps. People have to learn about your app, and initially, they do it through various channels. One of them is your magazine\u2019s website. Based on the Forrester report, almost 23% of people landing on the App Store page come from browsing websites.<\/p>\n

It is because the people who visit your website and stay there longer than the blink of an eye, are very much interested in the published content. Your goal should be to capture their attention and drive them right to your magazine’s App Store\u2019s page. There they can download your magazine app onto their mobile devices.<\/p>\n

YouTube, Ustream, and other successful mobile companies use Apple smart app banner in order to attract website visitors and persuade them to install their apps. Smart banner is a well-designed piece of information about your (magazine) app that is displayed on the top of the website only when viewed on Apple mobile devices, such as iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.<\/p>\n

Visitors to the website can see and act upon the following information:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. App name<\/li>\n
  2. App rating<\/li>\n
  3. Price (hey, your magazine app is free to download too)<\/li>\n
  4. Link to the App Store<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Why it is so powerful<\/h2>\n

    Based on the eyetracking study<\/a>, it is placed in one of the most visible parts of your website.<\/p>\n

    Surprisingly, our attention doesn\u2019t immediately go to the upper left of the page \u2013 but to the middle. Our eyes are focused there for around a third of a second before moving to the upper left. This same information applies no matter what industry your site is in, and it will likely also apply to mobile websites and smartphone applications(…)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    What is more, smart banner works great even if the visitor of your site has your app already installed.<\/p>\n

    What can you learn from it?<\/p>\n

    Yes, I do already have YouTube app installed on my iPhone.<\/p>\n

    While browsing YouTube website on my mobile, I get an instant reminder to open this app. A simple and clear notification that people do respond to. It can work for your magazine app the same way, too.<\/strong><\/p>\n
