Gone are the days when mobile
apps were mainly used for games, productivity, entertainment and social
networking. Recent market trends show that the tech savvy generation is now
relying heavily on mobile devices to purchase products online, ranging from
groceries and prescription medicine to clothing and cinema tickets.
Nielsen reports that
smartphone ownership grew almost 100% from 2008 to 2009, with forecasts that by
2015, smartphones will be the primary device consumers will be using for online
shopping. Wouldn’t it be great to grab a share of this growing market of mobile
users? Well you can, by creating your own mobile app.
With your own app, your
customers will better enjoy their mobile shopping experience. Here are some of
the great features you can offer with a custom mobile app:
- If you’re a mobile retailer, you can push updates to your customers and tell them where and when you will be setting up your food truck, kiosk or stand through your app.
- Customers can conveniently make payments using your app to order food, pay bills, book a flight or have flowers delivered to loved ones with a few taps or clicks on their mobile device.
- Use your app to send flash updates to customers about your promotions and sales. And since people love special treatment, give mobile users a perk like giving them special access to a sale one day ahead or offering priority service when they shop.
Wherever your customers are,
whether they’re on vacation or just lounging around at home, with an app for
your store, they will be able to make purchases any time, anywhere. Give them
the convenience and simplicity only a mobile app can offer so they can spend
more time doing the things they love to do.
