Galaxy Watch Banner and Android App Promotion

App promotion, when ran in conjunction with seller's social media promotions, can increase daily downloads by 4 to 5 times.

You can request promotion of one or more of your Galaxy Watch or Android apps. Apps that meet selection criteria can be promoted, which run for at least a week but may run longer.

After you submit a promotion request, Samsung will evaluate your apps to determine if promotion is well-suited and submit a banner promotion request to be published in the store on your behalf. 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.

It is not possible to feature all requests but an attempt will be made to place qualified content in group collections when an individual banner is not available.

If your request is approved, information on Banner Image Requirements and Recommendations will be sent via email.
