Some suggestions to promote your game: 1. Organise an iTunes Gift Card promotion contest with those with highest 3 scores win. iTunes card can be $25 for top prize and $15 for 2nd prize and $10 for 3rd place. 2. Register your press releases in well known gaming sites like cnet.com, toucharcade, ign.com and pocketgamer.co.uk. Not sure how much these sites will charge though. 3. Ask people to review your lite version in return they get a code for the full version. This will rack up your reviews in iTunes as well as the reputation of the game. Most people will try out the lite version before buying and they will probably see the reviews in the lite version. 4. Throw an art drawing contest as I see your game has some special graphics. The best entries will win promo code to your game as well as get credited in the game. Good luck.
1st and most important: this contest shouldn't be prized with promo codes, but with gift cards, it not only attracts more attention to the topic but brings better ideas. Once you change that (which you should, because what you'retrying to do right now costs money irl big money as it is marketing research) you'll see changes in the topic.
My suggestion is to have a gift card contest for a short part of the game. Like Doodle Army's Boot camp. The top 100 all have a chance to win gift cards, probably be generous with gift cards., with 1st having more chances, etc. Perhaps on each game, different leaderboards. once on the board for each person. Cost: Anywhere from 50$ to anything. More gift cards, more incentive to buy. Estimated productivity: If the leaderboard has 100 people for each game, then that's already 300 sales.
i think promo codes are still the best. I will definitely recommend to my friends if I can try out a new game. I mean, it will be with me everywhere i go ya. if you think i m right, pm with me a promo code
Thank you all! So the competition is over and we have three winners: Phoenix526, akame, steelfires. Thank you very much for your participation and we will sure use all your advices to promote our games
