How do you announce your app? Where do you stick QR codes? How do you post on Social Networks.

I am asking this because we see the following:
If an App.Cat customer only makes ONE app it's usually for his business. He pushes the heck out of it and gets great app download numbers.
If an App.Cat customer (like you) acts as an agent we see far smaller download numbers because (I suspect) he just "sells the app and runs" or their customers don't quite know what to do now that they have an app...
I think you should only choose business that an app might help. Relators, sales teams people who have a reason to promote themselves. 1 person can move an app so many times.
QR codes are also a great way to promote that app!
Please understand also most people can barely send an txt message on their fancy smartphones, if you make one for a restaurant maybe include in the price training.
Now the apps have the feel of native apps you should sell a push package or add it into the price of the app, think about it if you change content on an app in the store it takes weeks !
So: You make an app for a Pizzeria. Sell it to Giovanni, the Pizzeria owner. Whenever a new pie goes onto the menu, Giovanni sends you an email with its picture and description and you add it to his app. It then instantly updates on every smartphone that has that app. You either charge Giovanni per update or per set of updates or per year. Up to you.
If Giovanni feels that his new pizza should be announced to everyone you can send out a push message (which also cross-posts to his social networks) to all his clients. You can charge him for that or do it as part of a package...
I am not sure if you are yet using our software because your said "$199 system" which sounds a bit off.
Just to clarify: App.Cat is software that allows you to make AND manage unlimited apps for a one-time price. Pay software. Make apps. Done. No monthly subscriptions and all that jazz you see elsewhere.
JUST DON'T SELL YOURSELF SHORT!
It's an opportunity for me to sell more services AND bring them up to speed and they're always very thankful.
I certainly wouldn't sell an App for $199, the $199 is what it cost me to get the entrepreneur system ..
I was trying to get confirmation that customers can't update things themselves, which suits me very well, as i also am planning to sell a package including a service contract as indicated by Todd and in fact all of you !
Thanks for all your comments, it looks as if i am on the right track.
But basically, you do all of the editing, updating, photos, Push Notifications, etc for your customers.
That service contract idea is a great one!!! Stores like Office Depot also carry fairly generic forms that you can use for that too!

Nervous 'cos it my first
I am involved in an Arts group that runs a shop and meeting place, so gave a demo to one person so as to arrange a bigger demo. Even during that demo three other people looked in and were impressed. so at the moment I am concentrating on that (see gift.cat/bawbawartsalliance). so MAYBE one for the alliance and one for each of the 200 artists? ( thats what dreams are made of LOL)
Hmmm and what do I charge artists who all plead poverty !
Working up to a "demo" night to show them what appcat can do. now trying to follow Erics' suggestion for linking to Facebook ( about which I know virtually nothing.)
If I may give you one tip? Clearly know want you want as an outcome before you go so save second guessing and nervousness.
And remember what @ToddGoldstein said, KEEP IT SIMPLE. And lastly, HAVE FUN!
All the best!
