What Are Mobile Apps
And Why Do You Need Them?
What Are Mobile Apps, and Why Do You Need Them?

  Mobile marketing is different from marketing to PC users in one crucial way –
  it's all about engagement.

  People don't just use their mobiles to read and digest content.

  They use them to do things.
  Your mobile marketing campaign needs to be as interactive as possible so that
  your customers are fully engaged, and the way to do this is through apps.
An App is an Interactive Software Program

  It offers the user something to do. A few examples include:

  •A game or activity
  •An interactive map
  •Up-to-date weather information
  •A photo editing or sharing program
  •An ordering system where they can order goods directly from you on their
  phone
  •An inspirational saying of the day or an online journal


                            It can be anything that your customers can interact
                            with that's also related to your brand.
Native vs Web-Based Apps

  There are two types of apps – native and web-based.

  Native apps are downloaded and run directly on the mobile device.

  They're just like other downloadable software programs that save files on your
  computer.

  You use a web-based app through a website. Facebook apps, for example, are
  web-based. You don't download them but use them on Facebook.
Native vs Web-Based Apps

  Presently, native apps offer better engagement for users because they're more
  personalized.

  They tend to out-perform web-based apps.
Ideas For Apps

  When it comes to developing apps, the best practice is to put yourself in
  your customers' shoes and think of something they could use.

  What would make your life easier?

  For first time app developers, it's tough to do that, so here are three typical
  ideas for apps.
Ideas For Apps


  Advertising Apps
  These apps give them something to do while also delivering your advertising
  messages.

  It could be a game they play sponsored by your website.

  If they love it and use it every day, this means daily contact with your brand.
Ideas For Apps


  Advertising Apps
  Ideally, the game's theme is related to your business.

  If you sell sporting gear, maybe it’s a snowboarding game.

  However, it doesn't have to be related.
Ideas For Apps


  Scanning Apps
  A wide range of apps are based on scanning technology.

  They scan a code with their phone and it automatically gives them the deal,
  the map, the coupon, the information, or whatever else you're offering.

  Scanning apps are nice for users because it's hard to enter text into a mobile.
Ideas For Apps


  Ordering Apps
  Ordering apps make the process of ordering goods or services from you easier .

  A number of restaurants use ordering apps so that customers can make their
  order before they arrive.

  An example would be an app where you build your own sandwich and order,
  and then it's waiting for you when you get there.
Importance Of Mobile Apps

  Creating your own app is a powerful way to marketing your business.

  Your customers will be in touch daily with your company and when they need
  your products or services, you're the one they'll call.

  Put yourself in their shoes and imagine something that would make their lives
  much easier.

  Then, once you're offering the app, seek customer feedback and make
  improvements.


                                     A good app will get excellent
                                     results for your business.
