Keep in touch with your customer anywhere anytime

What’s the thing that you keep close to yourself twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week? Not your boyfriend/girlfriend. Not your husband/your wife. It’s your smartphone! Ok, I know it sounds ridiculous but it’s true. We spend a lot of time near mobile devices, whether we’re at work or relaxing at home. It’s the easiest way to stay online, no matter where we go.


That’s why when you have a mobile app, your customer can get in touch with your business — while on the go. They will be able to order, make requests, and leave reviews easily and conveniently. Who doesn’t love that?

You will stay competitive in the market

Even though it’s 2017 already, many small business still think that mobile apps are solely for big name brands, not for them.

Don’t be like the rest of them honey. It’s time for you to think outside the box. Imagine your business has a mobile app and the competition doesn’t, obviously you can stay one jump ahead of your competitors. Be the first in your neighborhood to offer a mobile app to your customers. They’ll be astonished by your forward-thinking approach!

You’ll gradually increase customer loyalty

No matter whether you are selling flowers or spa services, at the end of the day, customer loyalty is everything to your business. The thing is how to keep customer coming back to you again and again?

Here are 3 simple step to follow: satisfying their needs. Offering fast. And supporting reliably.

Fortunately, all of these can be done by your mobile app. An app that serves customers literally at their fingertips has a much better chance of building a long-lasting connection with the customer than other advertising media like billboards, flyers, etc.


Create a direct marketing channel

The funny thing is that many people indulge in illusion that just because they built their business, everyone will find it and interact with it, and then, purchase their products or services. Really? Please wake up! I’m sorry to burst your bubble but that’s not how it works. If you want to boost your revenue, you need to make ways for customers to reach you.

There we go. Mobile apps come to your rescue. An App can wear many hat: they can provide general info, show prices, user accounts, messengers, news feeds, and much more.

One of the biggest benefits of having a mobile app is that you can use push notifications about upcoming sales and promotional events. It is a powerful way to reach consumers, one that’s much more difficult to ignore than an email.

Last, but not least, as well as a powerful marketing tool, your app also serves to promote your brand. Think of a mobile app as a mini advertising billboard. It’s colorful and creative.
