Marketing iPhone App Game

Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone can offer any insight on marketing Apps for iPhone. My team and I are preparing to release out game in early January that we have been working on an app game for over a year. Before then we are looking to do some networking, we are based in South West Michigan.

Just trying to figure out a way to get the word out before we release an unknown game by an unknown developer into the app store only to get buried by the other 1000 apps that get released every day. Thanks!

I understand this is a very broad question so let me narrow the scope.

Has anyone ever had a Partnership with Publishing Company such as Chillingo?  How was your experience with it?

The impression I get is there are a lot of people who claim to market apps/games for you , and probably 99% of them are rackets. My personal opinion is the market is so incredibly saturated that you have to find a niche, somewhere where there aren’t a lot of games. Otherwise you are almost relying on pure luck.

I occasionally get spam which is obviously coming from either the Apple Store or the Google Play Store, don’t know which.
