Advertise Your Apps!

Phil Cross from the Microsoft UK Student Developer Group, of which I am a member, recently posted a link to quite a cool web app. The app is called the OMT Toolkit and is provided by Nokia to make ads and banners to promote both your application and Nokia’s Windows Phones, you can see an example of which on DanTonyBrown.com in the above screenshot.

The app allows you to select your app from the Windows Phone Online Marketplace using a URL Picker, once you’ve done this you can choose the colour of the banner as well as the model and colour of the phone that is shown, in my example is a Cyan Nokia Lumia 800. What is quite cool is that the application automatically fills in the name of your app onto the banner and places the icon of your app on the start screen of the phone.

You can click here to head over to Nokia’s website and make an advert or banner of your own.
