Benefits of apps for your business
Here are some of the biggest benefits of mobile apps for businesses. You can:
- Build & cultivate customer loyalty.
Mobile apps allow business to have a more direct and instant connection with their consumers. This closeness creates a relationship between your business and the consumer that evolves to brand loyalty. One clear example is Starbucks.
Through their star point system, they keep their consumers coming back to earn more rewards each time.
- Reinforce your brand.
When it comes to the top of mind awareness in the consumer’s mind, you want to be number one. This means that when the consumer thinks of a product or service, your business will be the first they recall.
- Increase your visibility.
You can increase your visibility by offering promotions and discounts in your app and keeping your consumer engaged. By doing this you are more likely to reach your consumer in those 162 minutes the average American spends on their mobile device.
- Increase accessibility.
Through increased exposure across mobile devices, you are accessible to your consumer anywhere and anytime. Imagine sending a discount notification, which creates a visit to your app and results in a purchase, all just in a matter of minutes!
- Connect you with 'on-the-go' consumers.
People always seem to be on the go. Going to work, going to the gym, going for coffee. They may not always have access to a computer, but on the go, they always have their smartphone with them.
