Launching a delivery app is exciting—but how do you get people to actually use it? The first 100 orders are the hardest, but they’re also the most important. They help you build trust, collect reviews, and start earning.
Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you market your delivery app and get those first 100 orders quickly.
1. Start With Your Inner Circle
Your first customers are closer than you think. Reach out to:
-
Friends and family
-
Loyal in-store customers
-
Social media followers
Offer a limited-time discount or free delivery to encourage them to try the app and spread the word.
2. Promote Your App on Social Media
Use platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok to show:
-
How easy it is to order from your app
-
Your delivery speed
-
Real customer reviews
Tip: Post behind-the-scenes videos or stories like “How we deliver your order in 30 minutes!”
3. Offer a First-Order Discount
People love deals. Set up a simple offer like:
-
“Get 20% off your first order”
-
“Your first delivery is FREE”
Make sure this shows up on your homepage and in the app store listing.
4. Run Local Ads
Use Facebook Ads or Google Ads to target your area. Focus on:
-
People who live near your delivery zone
-
Interests related to your niche (e.g., food lovers, pharmacy needs)
Keep your message simple:
“Need groceries fast? Download our app and order in minutes!”
5. Use WhatsApp & SMS Campaigns
Send messages to your existing contacts with:
-
A short message about your app
-
A download link
-
Your discount code
Example:
“Hey! We just launched our delivery app. Use code WELCOME10 for 10% off your first order! [Download Link]”
6. Collect Reviews and Show Them Off
Social proof helps others trust your service. Ask your first customers to:
-
Leave a review on Google or inside the app
-
Share their experience on social media
Then, use those reviews in your marketing posts.
7. Launch a Referral Program
Encourage users to invite friends. Offer:
-
A reward for the sender (e.g., $5 credit)
-
A discount for the friend (e.g., 10% off)
Example:
“Invite a friend, and you both get rewarded!”
8. Make It Easy to Order
Your app should be:
-
Simple to use
-
Fast-loading
-
Mobile-friendly
If your app is hard to use, users won’t come back. Test it yourself or ask a few people to try it and give feedback.
9. Track What Works
Use your app’s analytics or connect to Google Analytics to track:
-
Where your users come from
-
Which offers bring the most orders
-
What users do after downloading
Then, improve based on real data.
