MenuWhat type of people are hiring companies to build mobile/web/cloud applications? Which of them have a good budget?
I own a web and mobile application development business and want to define my audience in order to create an inbound marketing strategy around them.
I need to know who I can help in order to help them.
Answers
There's 2 types of customers for this segment that have a decent budget.
1) Funded tech startups (i.e. Anyone that recently closed a round on www.angel.co)
2) Digital agencies (or their clients) who want to build a mobile app for marketing or convenience purposes.
So for #1, you can target anyone who likes sites like Angel List, Gust, etc. For #2, you can get a list of digital media agencies and run ads against them.
All that being said, the best way to pull them into your funnel is to create some AMAZING free content like an infographic, video or webinar that demonstrates why you guys are the best company out there.
So teach them something about mobile marketing that they had no clue about - then close them at the end.
Hope that helps.
Dan has hit the bulls eye by defining the precise strategy to attract clients.
I think many B2B customers are using apps for internal collaboration and cloud communication. From a B2C perspective, the same could be applied (sales communicating with marketing) but they are also seeking creative methods of channeling their brands into the social realm while masking that intent with a purpose built app related to their product.
The sky's the limit with this. A very untapped market.
I believe that mostly start-up companies that have been funded well during seed funding round do hire them at times government agencies do hire them as well in some countries. There may be other agencies that may be doing the hiring as well. Mobile apps can bring in new customers and boost your business growth in this competitive market. As the mobile app world is evolving rapidly the rules keep changing which means that it is quite tricky to make a successful app. The best way to go do this is to choose a good mobile app development company. When you begin the process of finding a mobile application development company for hire, you should first explore their portfolio of work. It is important that you vet out the company you are considering hiring. This process gives you a better understanding of the kind of work the company is capable of. A quality mobile app development company would be transparent in displaying all the kinds of reviews it is getting whether they are good or bad. Keep an ear out for the companies or app development firms that others may be talking about or are recommending. When you go scouting for mobile app development companies to hire, there would be multiple companies quoting wildly different prices for what might appear to be the same pricing. Depending on the audience and the kind of business you own, you might do well to go for iOS, Android, or Windows. Evaluate whether the mobile app development company you are planning to hire, pays any attention to the user experience and the aesthetics of the app they are building for you.

What are average profit margins in Ice Cream store business?
Hi! I am owner of an ice crean chain with 45 stores in Chile. We have stores in shopping centers, streets and also karts that you can put in events and parks. The average cost margin of ice cream (depends on the amount of materials you use in producing the ice cream) is around 40%. This is italian gelatto where you serve the ice cream without a specific measurement so your costs can vary due to the size of each portion you serve. About the brand you should focus on your unique value proposition and what kind of ice cream you are selling. We import the pastry from Italy and the fruits and milk from our country. Your ROI depends on your sales price and costs. If you focus on high market ice cream you can charge high and keep costs down.MF

Where can I find programmers willing to join a growing mobile start up for equity only?
You won't find anyone worth adding to your team willing to work for equity only, no matter how compelling your product and business is. The realities of the talent market for mobile developers anywhere is such that a developer would be foolish to work only for equity unless they are a cofounder and have double digit equity. Happy to talk about hiring and alternatives to full-time hires.TW

How do you get your first customers for a consulting business?
Back when I started LinkedIn wasn't as huge as it is now. I wish it was. I didn't have a large network and those networking sessions NEVER brought me any clients. I used to go to all sorts of them hoping to get clients. There were a couple of nibbles here and there, but never anything serious. The only thing that helped was reaching out DIRECTLY to people in my target market. That meant cold calls and cold emails. I'd sell myself while thinking about their needs. Once I got a few bites I'd build good rapport by keeping in touch, asking questions, repeating back what they were saying so that they knew I was on the same page and kept my promises. If I said I'd call them back next Tuesday at 2:15 I'd do so. Eventually I built trust with them without having a network, or an insane amount of experience. Oh and the most important thing about consulting is to LISTEN. When those first clients notice that you're truly listening and you're not selling the cookie cutter solutions everyone else is trying to sell them that's when you got them hooked. You start to understand their problems, fears, and see through their eyes and not just yours. A network will help, but in the beginning just good 'ol salesmanship will get the ball rolling.JC

What is the generally agreed upon "good" DAU/MAU for mobile apps?
You are right that the range is wide. You need to figure what are good values to have for your category. Also, you can focus on the trend (is your DAU/MAU increasing vs decreasing after you make changes) even if benchmarking is tough. Unless your app is adding a huge number of users every day (which can skew DAU/MAU), you can trust the ratio as a good indication of how engaged your users are. For games, DAU/MAU of ~20-30% is considered to be pretty good. For social apps, like a messenger app, a successful one would have a DAU/MAU closer to 50%. In general most apps struggle to get to DAU/MAU of 20% or more. Make sure you have the right definition of who is an active user for your app, and get a good sense of what % of users are actually using your app every day. Happy to discuss what is a good benchmark for your specific app depending on what it does.SG

If I am planning to launch a mobile app, do I need to register as a company before the launch?
I developed and published mobile apps as an individual for several years, and only formed a corporation later as things grew and it made sense. As far as Apple's App Store and Google Play are concerned, you can register as an individual developer without having a corporation. I'd be happy to help further over a call if you have any additional questions. Best of luck with your mobile app!AM
