How To Make An App For Your Music Fans?

A challenge that most singers, musicians, and music houses face today is of maintaining engagement with their fans. While a website of a musician or a music house does a good job of creating an online presence, there is no way that they can maintain consistent fan relationships. Moreover, considering the amount of promotional e-mails individuals ignore on a daily basis, sending e-mail updates to fans has become an absolutely redundant way for engagement. An emerging way that musicians and music houses have begun to adopt lately is to offer a mobile application. There are several reasons why such apps are proving to be useful. Some of these reasons are:

1. Considering the heavy usage of smartphone apps across the world, mobile apps have become a significant medium for reaching fans.
2. An application is an interactive way to engage with fans.
3. It amplifies the visibility of the musician/music production house.
4. It is a convenient way for fans to stay updated and listen to tracks.

Let us now, see what are the steps that a musician or a music house must take in order to create an app for their fans:

Choose The Right Platform

Choose a mobile platform that is most popular among your target users. That is, if your target users are Indians alone, then you must consider making an Android app as the Android platform is the most widely used mobile platform in India. If your target users are from the United States, then you must consider making an iOS app as the iOS devices are the most used devices in the US.

Know Your Goal

How do you want the mobile application to establish relationships with your fans? Do you want to keep fans updated about latest releases? Or/And do you want to give a sneak peek into your new work? Or do you want users to purchase your work through the app? Or do you want fans to stay updated about where next you’re giving your live performance?

A musician may want something else and a music house may want something else. You could be even having single or multiple goals. Depending on your goals, you can choose the most suitable features which can be, further, implemented by iOS or Android Developers in India or another country.

Choose The Right Features

If you simply want to keep your fans updated, transfer your social media feeds to your app, so that fans can know what you’re up to in an instant. If you want fans to know about your latest youtube music video, you can inform them through push notifications, something which mobile app developers in Gurgaon or elsewhere can incorporate easily. If you’re a supremely famous singer/band, consider offering free wallpapers of your photos. You can also consider providing lyrics of a few of your songs. If as a music house, you want to sell songs, then consider offering a periodic subscription or quality rates for single songs.

Whatever features you choose, do not forget to feature an ‘about us’ section too. That will help users who are new to your music get acquainted with you.

After deciding upon the best attributes, share your goal and preferred features with a Mobile Application Development Company, which can finally bring your idea to life.
