KUMAVISION expands visibility and interest with Marketplace Rewards
In the course of publishing its first app, Compliance Check, on Microsoft AppSource in July 2018, KUMAVISION became aware of the benefits provided by Microsoft through Marketplace Rewards. KUMAVISION immediately started engaging on its eligible benefits to help drive awareness and demand to its new listing.
“When developing and publishing our apps and services on Microsoft AppSource, we could always rely on the support of our partner success manager: from implementing our Marketplace Rewards to increasing visibility and targeting new potential customers,” said Carolin Wein, AppSource Marketing Manager at KUMAVISION.
With comprehensive support from Microsoft, KUMAVISION raised awareness for its solutions on Microsoft AppSource by executing social promotions and a press release. The social promotion showcases partner solutions through a Microsoft Twitter outlet, and KUMAVISION’s tweets were published on @MSFTDynamics365, the official handle of Dynamics 365. In July 2019, KUMAVISION advertised its SmartStart offer to implement Dynamics 365 Business Central in three days, creating 4,705 impressions. In November 2019, KUMAVISION put the attention on its Change Log Quick Access app, which extends the functionality of the change log in Dynamics 365 Business Central Standard. This effort made 3,806 impressions for Change Log Quick Access.
KUMAVISION also saw success with its press release, which announced the availability of its SmartStart implementation on AppSource. Published in March 2020 and distributed on EIN Presswire, the press release boosted traffic to KUMAVISION's marketplace site by 37 percent and generated not just leads for SmartStart, but for project365, too.
