Get your own whisk app
Why produce an App?
Everyone is talking about Apps! Since they were first made available a staggering 10 billion Apps have been downloaded from the Apple App Store globally. As of February 2011 there are 300,000 Apps available. They are used as simple yet effective promotional tools for websites, radio stations, forthcoming films, newspapers, cookery books. With an average of 300,000 sales or £69,765 per app, it’s hardly surprising.
With the rise in popularity of iPhones and other handheld devices an App is the ideal way to reach a variety of target audiences. All that is involved is a one-off payment. There is no printing and no distribution or retailers / sales team fees. Better still, it’s digital so it can be used to increase your Google listings and brand recognition.
An App brings instant worldwide distribution for your brand for minimal cost. You choose the sales price or you can offer it as a free download. Either increases product awareness. The App can be designed to sell further products, link to your website and integrate social media links such as Facebook.
The Whisk Cooking by James McIntosh iPhone App can be easily adapted for your own product. It’s simple to replace the James content and rebrand it for your own all for the fraction of the price of a bespoke App made from scratch.
It’s easy to do and can be produced in any language. Your brand will be global, with 70% of the App sales income going directly to you (Apple keep the other 30%). How many book authors are guaranteed returns on that scale?
