Selling Software Solution as Commercial Product

L.Jenkins

This could be the wrong place to ask. I've created a Software Solution for a Company in the US. I maintain full rights to the Application upon delivery, they just pay for the privilege of having it, with a once off payment. So if they're happy with the Product, I'm just wondering, is there a way to market the Application.

I could use my own site and so, but is the Desktop App Markets, similar to iOS and Android App Markets.

Id imagine its the same as any other product.

Maybe start contacting people in the same industry and ask them to meet up to discuss how your product can improve their business processes and how great its worked for companies that already use it. Does the industry exist in ireland? Id assume it does so just meet people and work the companies against each other.

I dont see why software would be any different. If you can get the point across that your product will improve their business through X,Y and Z and heres a free trial and training. No non IT type business owner is going to be browsing some App Store looking for an App they dont know exists.

Ive never sold software in this way but i have other products and dont see why it wouldnt work. Anyone here have anything else to add that makes this method not work for software but it does for others?

You just have to be able to demonstrate your software will either save them money or make them money. That's it.

Both valid points. Thanks lads.
