**Positioning:** Mostly-free mobile app for marketing and lead generation

## Primary Objectives

1. **Top-of-Funnel Lead Generation**
   - Attract users searching for GS1, RFID, and barcode decoding tools
   - Capture emails and company information for nurturing

2. **Brand Awareness**
   - Introduce TallyFlow to a broad audience in manufacturing, logistics, and retail
   - Demonstrate technical capability in a low-friction way

3. **Product Teaser**
   - Showcase the quality and depth of TallyFlow’s mobile capabilities
   - Create desire to upgrade to paid TallyFlow Assets or Core

## Monetization & Conversion Strategy

- **Core App:** Free with generous usage limits
- **Premium Features (Upsell):**
  - Unlimited scans / higher volume
  - Advanced GS1 parsing and validation
  - Direct integration with TallyFlow Core / Assets
  - Cloud sync and team sharing
  - Priority support

- **Conversion Paths:**
  - In-app prompts after reaching free limits
  - “Unlock full TallyFlow experience” messaging
  - Email nurture sequences highlighting paid products

## Marketing Channels

- App Store / Google Play optimization (ASO) targeting “GS1”, “RFID decoder”, “barcode scanner”
- Content marketing (blog posts, LinkedIn) driving app downloads
- Partnership with RFIDKnow for promotion
- Trade show QR codes and booth materials
- Joint promotions with RMS Omega

## Success Metrics

- App downloads

- **Risk:** App quality reflects poorly on brand
  - **Mitigation:** Maintain high polish and regular updates
