Galaxy Watch and Android App Promotion (U.S. only)
App promotion, when run in conjunction with a seller's social media promotion, can increase daily downloads by 4 to 5 times.
You can request promotion of one or more of your Galaxy Watch or Android apps in the U.S. Galaxy Store. Apps that meet selection criteria can be promoted. Promotions run for at least a week, but may run longer.
After you submit a promotion request, Samsung will evaluate your apps to determine if a promotion is well-suited, submit a banner promotion request to be published in the U.S. Galaxy Store on your behalf, and inform you how to submit a request for a global promotion, when applicable. Recommendations for individual banner promotions are based on the potential to sell and includes, but is not limited to, the following criteria:
- Only paid or Samsung In-App Purchase content is allowed
- Use of Galaxy Store badge links in Seller's social media is required
- Product conversion rate* (downloads per content page visit)
- Revenue* trends (how well is your app selling?)
- How content is presented in Galaxy Store detail pages (for Galaxy Watch apps, see the Asset Creator for examples)
- Content ratings* (do your current customers like your apps?)
*These measurements are tracked in Galaxy Store Statistics.
