As the new year begins to accelerate, many companies will likely be fully focused on maximizing every opportunity that crosses their path. Along with that come new digital strategies for increasing revenue, given recent restrictions and the widespread shift to online and mobile commerce. No matter your industry or scale, investing in a quality app for your company creates a variety of new opportunities to generate leads and make sales. Here are five reasons why a mobile app is a wonderful tool and invaluable asset to any business’s marketing strategy.
1. Availability
As a business owner, you may feel like you work nonstop, but there will certainly be times when you or your team are not available to take orders or engage with clients. However, through power of the Internet and a business application, 24/7 communication is possible and practical. Mobile apps can serve as a catalogue, online store, and valuable resource for those searching out and preparing to purchase products or services. They are almost always accessible, can continuously market your brand regardless of time or location, and highlight a clear route to more sales.
2. Boost Brand Loyalty
Convenient and available on demand, mobile apps are generally familiar to most consumers. We use them frequently to help us seize the day, so they’re an easy way for businesses to foster loyalty by maintaining relationships. Building a simple rewards program into your app, such as offering rewards points with each purchase, or perks for recommending a friend or sharing a social media post, can all help your customers to remain loyal to your brand. This is something that must not be overlooked if companies wish to remain competitive moving forward.
3. Streamline Ordering
Your app can make it easier for users to find out important information, monitor available stock levels, or easily book an appointment with you. If you have a brick-and-mortar location, your app can be used by consumers to check inventory in their closest location, thereby driving offline sales, as well. Associated services, such as curbside pickups, could also be integrated within the app to drive foot traffic to your place of business, again helping to increase overall sales.
4. Improve Customer Experiences
One of the basic foundations of a quality customer experience is ensuring that you’re providing consumers what they really want, when they want it. Your app can be a treasure trove of useful data in this regard, allowing you to see what users interact with most and the types of information they seek. You can use this knowledge to refine your offers to satisfy your customers, bolster sales, and build relationships.
5. Build Strong Relationships
What is so transformative about the rise of online stores is that anyone, from transnational corporations to mom-and-pop shops, can gather and utilize valuable analytic data about their customers. Small and large businesses alike can acquire even more data about their users via mobile applications. For example, businesses can often access a user’s location data, something one can’t do with a website alone.
On top of the feedback users typically leave for you on the application (complaints, comments, reviews), you can analyze behavioral data, such as what users search for most often, which FAQs they consume most, and how long they stay on different pages within the app. If analyzed properly, this information can lead to insights that you can leverage to create better products, coordinate advertising campaigns, and level-up user experiences.
