Taking an app live is a huge business success milestone. The customer is probably thinking, "What's the next step?" Once the app goes live, it's time to promote the app and spread the word about all the nice features that are available.

Social Media
Marketing the app in social media is also an economical option. Post your app listing URLs on your Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and blogs.

- You can integrate some of the BiznessApps KB articles in your company blog so you can expose them to your clients. Just note that if you use the iframe approach, the clients will be able to see it is from Bizness Apps. You'll have to take the articles and post them on your blog to avoid that. For each article, we would suggest you proceeded with a "search and replace" in order to replace any mention of Bizness Apps, by your company/website name.
