Launch is day one: a 90-day growth plan for new apps

Great apps die quietly every day. Here's the plan we use to make sure yours gets downloaded, used and paid for.

By the Evyx team · · 6 min read

Publishing to Google Play and the App Store is a milestone, not a finish line. The first 90 days decide whether an app becomes a business or a line on a CV.

Days 1–30: be found

  • App-store optimisation: keyword-rich titles, clear screenshots and a short preview video
  • A launch campaign on the channels your customers actually use
  • Existing customers first: WhatsApp, SMS, in-store QR codes and staff incentives

Days 31–60: be used

  • Watch the funnel: install → sign-up → first order or booking
  • Fix the biggest drop-off before buying more traffic
  • Onboarding offers that reward the first real action, not the download

Days 61–90: be loved

  • Push notifications that are useful, not noisy
  • Loyalty, referrals and reviews to lower acquisition cost
  • A monthly release rhythm based on real user feedback

Why build and marketing belong together

When the team that builds the app also plans the launch, tracking is installed correctly, store assets match the product and campaigns promote features that actually exist. That's why at Evyx the software and creative studios plan launches together from the design phase.
