So you’ve got a great mobile app. You worked hard on it and now it’s a reality. Congrats! You’ve made it this far but what about the pitch?
You may have a stellar mobile app but not being able to articulate its value or simply explain what it does and why it’s a fresh idea can lead you, well, nowhere. No need to worry. Here are a few tips when pitching your mobile app:
- Short synopsis of your app – Come up with a simple explanation of what the app does.
- Know your audience – Who’s going to use the app?
- Value of the app – Why would anybody use your app? What are the benefits? What problems does your app solve?
- How is your app different from other apps? – The app market is huge so there might be similar apps to yours. What separates yours from the others? What’s fresh and new about it?
- Get your demo ready – Make sure it’s working. I know it sounds silly but it’s important to have a functional and smooth running mobile app that’s ready to go to market
- Practice your pitch – Time yourself, practice in front of a friend, record yourself. Do it over and over so when you eventually pitch, you’ll be polished.
