Galaxy Watch for Tizen App Promotion (U.S. and Canada 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 for Tizen apps in the U.S. and Canada Galaxy Stores. Apps that meet the selection criteria can be promoted as part of an Evergreen Collection, watch face designs that fit into a specific descriptive category where multiple designs and sellers may be featured. Promotions run for one month, starting on the 15th of the month following the submission of your promotion request (however, the display period can change without notice). A maximum of five (5) designs can be submitted for each collection.
Galaxy Watch for Wear OS apps are not eligible for promotion in the U.S. and Canada Galaxy Stores.
After you submit a promotion request, Samsung evaluates your apps to determine if a promotion is well-suited and submits a promotion request to be published in the U.S. and Canada Galaxy Stores on your behalf (if you are interested in promoting your Galaxy Watch for Tizen apps outside of North America, please see the Seller Portal Galaxy Watch Regular Promotion Notice for more information).

- Product conversion rate* (downloads per content page visit)
- Revenue* trends (how well is your app selling?)

*These measurements are tracked in Galaxy Store Statistics.
