In April this year, we launched GoodBarber Academy and offered our first courses dedicated to the Shopping Apps.  More than just tutorials, the Academy aimed to help you develop your skills in app creation, design but also other essential parts of an app development project, such as project management and communication.  As promised during the launch, Shopping App courses were just the beginning. So, today, we're very happy to announce that the courses for Classic Apps are now available.   

Your app design plays a vital role in creating an engaging experience for your users. At GoodBarber we're always committed to providing a product that is always at the forefront of mobile user experience.  For this reason, it was time to add new NavBar templates (for both Classic and Shopping Apps). NavBar is a key element of an app's identity helping you showcase your branding.  You can now choose between 3 different heights: small, medium and large

You have followed all the steps in the How to Make an App guide, and now started wondering ho to make money with your app? This is a question we are almost asked every day. They are several ways to monetize your app the right way, and today, I'd like to focus on advertisement.  In this post, we will see how to use GoodBarber's internal ad network to display ads in your app. The internal ad network is a tool provided by GoodBarber that allows you to manage manually advertisement.

We previously wrote articles on ASO ( App Store Optimization) and the mistakes to avoid,  but today we wanted to dig a little deeper into the writing side of an App Store listing. We will focus on the App Store description and how and where to use keywords. The App description is where you have the opportunity to tell visitors why they have to download your app. It's your chance to connect with them and highlight your app benefit. It must be writing carefully. However, on the App Store, the description is not a ranking factor. So for your ASO, you need to pay close attention to the keywords and where to use them (keyword field, App name, App subtitle) As a reminder, the ranking factors on the App Store are the app name, the subtitle, the keyword field, and then the ratings, reviews, updates, downloads, and engagement.  

Public APIs are a great way to increase your sales and leverage your brand when you use them through mobile shopping apps.

You want to start selling applications? You've come to the right place. The GoodBarber platform allows you to save time and money while creating unlimited apps!

This month we are introducing a new design feature that will revolutionize your Shopping and Classic apps! It's a new option that concerns an element present in all the sections of your apps: the header.  You can now choose the height of your header among 3 formats: small, medium or large. This allows you to create new designs and even add descriptions inside your header!   You will find below the summary of the improvements and updates made during the month of April 2021:

As an agency, to successfully convince potential clients of why an app is a must, you’ll need to present them with some concrete examples.

Whether you do sales in person, over the phone, or via email, you are regularly confronted with objections from your leads or clients. There are, of course, some basic rules to follow when dealing with objections. But our goal is above all to give you points specific to selling apps. What are the most common objections: 1/ "it's too expensive" or "it's not the right time to invest" 2/ "I don't have time to take care of it" 3/ " I already have a mobile website" 4/ " it will never work" What are the basic rules for responding to objections? Don't snap or respond in a hurry. On the contrary, stay open and accept criticism. Don't take your clients' objections personally. Take your time before answering, it could make the situation worse. Consider remarks as requests for information. Ask your clients questions, ask them to clarify their thoughts. Better yet, ask them what solution they could bring to the problem, what their point of view is. You're there to listen to your clients and you're interested in their opinion. The goal here is to make your client feel valued and that their opinion matters. Even if you don't have an immediate solution. Finally, deal with the objection anyway. You've been open to their request, you've asked for clarification and for their opinion. But you can't walk away. Either you don't have an immediate answer to give them and in this case, come back to them quickly (and do it systematically, whatever the answer, it's important). Either you develop your points according to all the details you obtained at the beginning of the discussion. If you follow the basic rules above, then you'll deal with objections. So, once you've acknowledged it and asked your lead for clarification, here are the answers that can be given to the most common objections:

If you have a GoodBarber Shopping App, ​you already know that until now, you could set up your tax rates for countries that were parts of your shipping zones. Thanks to your feedback, we have now added advanced settings allowing you to manage your tax rates by products and per region in addition to the global country rate.  Indeed, Tax rules vary depending on countries and are often broken down in a different set of rules depending on regions or states within a given country.  Different taxes will also apply to different products.  With the advanced settings, you can now configure your taxes very precisely. Note: If your shop is located in the US or Canada, this does not apply. Taxes are already managed accurately by TaxJar. This new option is for our clients located in the rest of the world and more specifically Europe.   

Today, we're presenting you a new Agency, working with GoodBarber. And for that, we crossed seas and ocean to meet an Australian Reseller!

To gather his point of view on the sector and share his experience as a reseller of mobile applications using GoodBarber.

Once your Reseller account is launched, you need to focus on selling apps. We know that sometime you already have clients thanks to other activities, but at some points, you will have to start looking for new clients. Our marketing team is here to help you realize your projects and make you a successful reseller.
