Default Huge idea to promote an app. Would you like to participate?

Hi Everbody,

I'm founder of iphonehall.com. It is an apple and iphone related website.
I have some good ideas to promote your app and/or game but i need your participation.

So simply i'm going to create a give-away contest which we'll promote via social media.

IDEA 1
I would like to publish a one week period contest to give-away some promo codes to my visitors.
To win some promo-codes the visitors (pretenders) must retweet a predefined sentence prepared by me and leave a message on the give-away article with their first 5 favorite apps. (they can just win one)

At the end of the contest i'll choose the winners randomly, and send their promo codes via email or twitter.

Your Benefits:
  • The value of Backlincks that you get from my site.
With your basic app description, i'll also put your website address where pretenders should read a detailed description.
  • Trafic that converts to sales.
Ex: If you join into contest with 10 promo codes but if your app has more pretenders than 10 you'll have some potential customers. Also, if you wish we can provide some discount for them. So you'll never lose them.
  • Your app will be honored.
As you can imagine that, in this contest there will be a lot of apps. So i understand that nobody likes to see his app in a «*craptacular collection of yarnware*» Your company will be respectful with nice presentation and will be presnted with another apps of the quite a same standard. Also i wish to create categories if there are a lot of apps (games, Lifestyle, Entertainement etc.) and publish contest seperately.
  • Attracting a wider audience in hope that the word of mouth will spread.
    I've a little team with more than 5000 twitter followers who will promote this give-away contest. So i'm expecting more than 1200 tweets and more than 1000 comments if i have about 100 apps with more than 500 promo codes.

Also i'm quite sure, that you prefer to use some promo codes for this give-away contest where your app will have thousands of page views than to use them on this forum where it'll have hunred views!!!
Maybe some of you will not increase sales but your app will be seen by thousands of people.

My Benefit:
  • This give-away idea mutualy beneficial for the blogger and for the vendor.
Imagine the Contest Title... 1000 iphone apps promo codes up for grabs worth $5000.
Can you imagine that how many people will visit iphonehall.com? 10.000 or 50.000 i have no idea!

Contest Rule:
  • To win a promo code, the visitor will choose max. 5 apps or games in their comments and they must retweet a predefined sentence by me to attract more visitors.


About my Site
  • iphonehall is online since Nov. 2009. A young site but today i have about 700 unique visitors per day though. Not too bad to start. We promote it via social media. So %80 of our visitors coming from social media. At the end of the contests i would like to have more than 5000 twitter followers. And continue to prepare new give-away contests.

Other Informations:
  • A one week contest.
Why not from 7 until 14 of Feb. (st valentine day)
  • Confirm your participation few days ago.
Give me time to prepare the contest.
  • Send me your promo codes with your confirmation pls.
How many promo codes? : It's you who decide it. You are free.
  • If you can, send me your itunes link, your website adress and your youtube video if any to avoid some errors.
  • If there is no pretender for your app or game i'll not use your promo codes.


IDEA 2
  • I'll prepare some Instant Lotterys if you accept to give some promo codes.

I mean, i'll publish an instant lottery give-away with your app for a limited time.
When every pretender after writing his comment finds out if he has won the giveaway or not!

Or

First 20 pretenders who commented the give-away contest will win a promo-code but the result will be put up few hours later.

First time i'm preparing a contest, if you have any idea or feedback please share it.

Contact me via twitter, or email (msahin#iphonehall.com --> replace # by @) If you would like to know more about me, it's here.

Free iPhone Apps (Tramain360) on Twitter

This guy does something like that already. While yours sounds a little more intensive/extensive, how will it differ?

Everyday via my website, i'm receiving some emails from developers who ask me kindly review their app. They also propose me a promo code if i wish. Really it's happening everyday.

Now i have better idea to promote your app but you hesitate to join.
I've just 5 confirmed developpers. (3 mac apps and 2 iphone apps) for the moment.

I'm more into iphone than mac. But Mac devs accept my proposal though.

So if i have not enough codes i can't realize my idea with iphone apps.

Yet another think, it's you who'll send me an email if you want to participate.

If you have some questions ask here.

App store is not the web. Backlinks are worthless, and traffic does NOT convert to sales (at least in any meaningful way).

This is why iphone review sites are a complete waste of time.
