You've just started with Communi and now you want to promote your app? Here we give you 12 helpful tips on how to make your Communi app popular.
Use the Communi Press Kit
It contains graphics for the homepage or, for example, the parish newsletter, as well as buttons for your parish's homepage to make the app more easily accessible to new people. You can find it in your app under Admin area/Download press kit.
Link your Communi app on your homepage
It's nice for new people to see that you have your own app. Younger people in particular are more likely to download an app than contact each other in another way.
To do this, create a page on your homepage where you introduce the app and link to the graphics from the press kit.
Link the app with the Homepage, Instagram and Facebook
About the service Zapier.com you can have your app automatically post on other platforms. This helps you maintain all your platforms with one click. This saves you a lot of time and automatically makes the app known, because every post contains a link to the app. If you need help with the integration, contact us at support [at] communiapp [dot] de we are happy to help!
Send a newsletter or mailing with information about your app
Using the press kit, you can create a mailing or newsletter in just a few minutes and inform people in your community about the app and successful examples from practice.
Use our flyer service

Have a rollup banner printed with information about your app
Here, too, we are happy to take care of everything and deliver the roll-up to your home for a flat rate of 99€.
Use existing events to report on the app
Whether you're announcing the app in your church service or in your youth group, it helps to raise awareness of the platform. It's best to underline the benefits with practical examples.
Host an official launch event
Invite people in your community to a launch event where you officially introduce and explain the app.
Create high-quality content to show what you can do with the app
How about adding an offer for breakfast or a barbecue at your home to the app? Encourage other permanent and volunteer employees to do the same so that the app fills up quickly and users see that sharing life is fun. Anything that can take place in a non-binding setting and that interests a lot of people is suitable. Whether it's a barbecue, watching football together, mountain biking, bouldering, etc.
Use the app channel exclusively
Switch your communication to the app as quickly as possible. The more priority you give to communication via the app, the more people will use this channel. To start with, you could share new events from your app via "Share" to existing channels such as WhatsApp and Facebook or by email.
Recommend the app to people who are new to you
There is no better system to give people a good overview of your community. They can see what's going on, what groups there are, what employees you're looking for (employee search) and then they can take action themselves or react to something. Not only is this a great experience for new people, it's also less work for you.
Encourage people in your community to rate the app in the stores
How quickly your brand new app is found in the Apple and Google app stores depends on, among other things, how often it has been downloaded and how it is rated in the stores. Therefore, many good reviews are essential for the relevance of your app in the app stores.
We hope these tips will help you to promote your Communi app as much as possible. If you need help or have your own tips, please write to us at
