- Get feedback
- Get your first paying customers
One more reason to develop a minimum viable product for a startup is early users. What does it mean for you?
First of all, you will attract potential customers and people, who are engaged with your product. Then they can tell their friends about your app. That’s how you get the viral effect. By the time your startup is fully established you will already have some fans.Secondly, early users’ feedbacks will help you to shape and direct a development of your startup. It’s a crucial point for every developer, so don’t neglect it.
Thirdly, you can get your first paying customers. Let me underline it once more –paying. Of course, we don’t talk about a huge revenue. However, you will have another source of income, which is great.
- Save your time
Imagine that you have spent sleepless weeks and months on building your mobile app and when you released it… nothing fabulous happened. No popularity, no profit. Sounds like a nightmare, right? You could spend this time on something more useful.
To create an MVP you will need as little time as possible. Users’ feedbacks will help you to create a really highly demanded and engaging app. What would you prefer: to spend months on developing an app which may fail or use the same time to create an app which is more suitable and friendly to its users? The answer is clear!
