Is it ok to email buyers of my Android app?
I'm a new Android developer and have released 2 different apps. RealMirror is free and I released it about 6 weeks ago. It has done, in my opinion, well with over 10,000 downloads.
Monday, I published my first paid app, mySoundboard. With no downloads at all for the first 48 hours, I was very disappointed.
Last night I had 2 downloads. I am very happy and more than just a little grateful. I don't have their real emails, but I do have a Google Checkout anonymous email address that I can use. Is it ok to email the buyers and say thank you or would that be too creepy?
- treblig 16y agoDefinitely toeing the "Permission based marketing" line there, but sometimes you gotta be a little scrappy :)
- jere_jones 16y agoI'm sorry, but I don't understand. :-) Could you elaborate?
- mdh 16y agoIts a noble sentiment but i think it does risk creeping out the people the who did download it which would rather defeat the object of the exercise. Why not include a "Thanks to everyone who downloaded v1.0" message in the About screen in the next update of the app or the app info screen on the Market?
