If you are looking to own a successful brand in any kind of business genre, the criteria that are expected to be on your list is OWNING A MOBILE APP. Yes, of course, and with today’s development in technology who wouldn’t want to follow in the same. The main purpose of owning an app is to improve your marketing efforts and increase your ROI. To bring more clarity to the statement, let’s take a quick look at a few reasons that support the same.
Increase Sales:
The year 2018 expects mobile app revenue to cross $ 40 Billion, and that’s because of the acceptance that apps are being received globally in the technological world that we live it. Looking at the stats, it shows that people prefer buying products in the app rather than browsing through a search engine. Besides, most adverts are sponsored in-app which helps promote the running of several apps; a good revenue generating technique that most app owners enjoy.
Increased Visibility:
Taking a quick look at the stats from 2015 – 2017, there has been a 20% increase in the usage of mobile devices, with users spending more than 5 hours of a day on their device. This comes to our attention as no surprise, with the number of hits received on Apple’s iTunes, and Google’s Play Store. This helps us come to the conclusion that the more your business is available as an app, the more the visibility.
Analyse Insights:
Most mobile apps come with customer insights that could be analysed and studied using special inbuilt tools. The best way to serve a customer is catering to their needs, and the only way to get that done is by understanding what they need.
Sending out Notifications:
The best way to keep your customer in the loop and prevent them from straying away with competitors is by sending out notifications (or as I call them “REMINDERS”). Customers tend to turn heads in the direction they are led, just like a child walking in the park. Sadly, we haven’t phased out of that even as an adult. Yes, the more tempting the offer, the quicker your customer will flee in the opposite direction. The key here is keeping them occupied by reminding them of what you have in your pocket, which will keep them coming back to you.
Extend your Marketing Arm:
Stats say that an average individual of age 18- 65 years spend more than 90 hours a month on a mobile application. This enhances the probability of downloading your app and increases your chances of gaining new customers.
All this comes down to the need for designing and developing an app that suits your business requirement. We at Urbansoft work with experts who share interesting ideas on the same. Click here to understand how mobile apps can serve you better.
