It’s no longer a question if businesses should go mobile; the question is when, as the mobile-first trend is here to stay.
With nearly 5 billion mobile users and 27 billion connected IoT devices across the globe, businesses can no longer avoid the mobile development trend. Moreover, time spent on mobile devices now outstrips time spent on PCs/laptops, so a mobile-first approach to design and development is becoming more and more popular among leading businesses worldwide. With a mobile application, businesses become more accessible and user-friendly, providing continuous interactions. This way companies can dramatically increase customer satisfaction and reach a larger audience.
More users and customers. It’s no secret that the more communication channels a company offers, the more customers it gets. With a mobile app, a business is always there for its customers.
Great customer experience. Mobile apps are faster, more responsive, and more accessible than websites. An app is always within customers’ reach, providing an immersive user experience that increases brand loyalty, customer satisfaction, and profits.
Brand awareness. With a mobile app, a company’s well-designed logo is always somewhere on their customers’ smartphones. So even if customers don’t use the app every day, they still see it all the time. Add push notifications to this and your business will be ringing a bell in your customers’ minds every time they think about your service or product.
Analytics and personalization. Mobile apps are great for gathering analytics about users and offering personalization based on location, general user info, historical data, etc. Businesses can send customers special offers depending on their recent activities or can send push notifications when customers are near a store. All this can take customer engagement to the next level.
