Believe it or not, the best of the apps will fail if you do not invest in a solid marketing plan. Of course, you will also need a big marketing budget to propel your entire marketing campaign.

Making investments in marketing plans often give stress to app owners. They do not know how much budget they need to invest in running a product marketing plan.

There was an estimated investment of $77 billion in the year 2017, but only 0.01% of all mobile apps out there on stores were considered successful. App users in the USA spend as much as 5 hours daily on mobile devices and, 92% of all the time is spent on apps and, these are not more than 30 apps which users routinely use every month. These are generally the most popular apps such as social apps like Facebook and Snapchat; shopping apps like Amazon, several mobile games, etc.
