8 reasons to Invest in a Branded Mobile
App for your business.
1 -A Branded Mobile App is powerful, low-cost advertising platform.
Can you say FREE ADVERTISING?
Once your Branded Mobile App is downloaded onto a smart phone you have an ADVERTISING PLATFORM that you can use to send notices, coupons, and specials to your customers AT NO EXTRA COST TO YOUR BUSINESS.
Even better, since the customer agreed to download your App they basically have said YES, PLEASE SEND ME MORE INFO AND SPECIALS AND COUPONS about your business, PLEASE.The more people that have your Branded App on their phone the bigger audience you have for your business.
2- A Branded Mobile App will decrease your dependency on print advertising.
If enough customers have your App on their phone you may be able to stop print ads completely!
Imagine never having to run another ad in the newspaper, or the Yellow Pages, or a local magazine. With a branded Mobile App on enough smart-phones you may be able to get rid of print ads for good! Imagine the savings to your business!
It all depends on how many people download your Branded App. If it's a sizable sum (which, granted, may take some time and patience) there would be NO REASON to use print ads because enough people would be seeing your promotional material on their phones. For FREE.3- A Branded Mobile App can provide measurable data on your advertising and promotional campaigns.
Tracking and compiling important data has never been easier.
With most forms of advertising there is no way to measure returns except to keep a record, diary style, at your place of work. Not very simple or convenient.
With an App you get a powerful tracking platform for your business. Track when, where, and (most importantly) who is responding to your promotions. Tracking is simple and practically instantaneous.
Imagine what you could do if you knew which ads were hot and which were not. The best time of the month, week or even day to run your ads. What type of customer was responding and from where.
With a branded App you can do that, and more, with ease.

4- A Branded App will build customer LOYALTY and brand recognition.
Your customers will keep coming back if you give them the right incentive.
With a Branded App you have valuable real-estate on your customers cell phone, and they constantly see your Icon and your brand. Communicate with them correctly and with great deals and they will look forward to hearing from you.
Wouldn't that be a nice change? Instead of seeing your ads as a bother or a nuisance your customers would look forward to seeing your business pop-up on their smart phones with great info, great deals, and great promotions.
Before long the competition will be a distant memory.
5- A Branded App will capture attention for your business in your market.
Give your customers something to talk about.
A well designed App can do many things for your business and one of the most powerful of those is its inherent ability to draw attention to itself.
People like new things, especially when it's new technology. Pair that with a great promotion and people will share your App with friends and family, talk about it with co-workers, and even show it to strangers in the mall!
Building your business for you at extra charge. How great is that!
6- A Branded Mobile App will increase repeat customer visits.
Keep them coming back for more. And more. And more.
Imagine that Tuesday is your 'slow' day. Not much happening, no customers, no money coming in the door.
Now imagine the same day, but this time, with your Branded Mobile App and a great promo, you've got them lined up down the block!That's how powerful an great Mobile App can be, enough to turn your 'slow' day into your 'WOAH!' day.
Repeat visits will go through the roof when you have a Branded Mobile App doing the promotions for your business, and so will revenue. Also, your smile will find a permanent place on your face.
7- A Branded App gives your customers a fast, easy way to contact your business.
They call it '1 Tap Calling'.
Just 1 touch of your Icon and they are giving you a call.
It may sound trivial at first but think about it; What are your customers looking for, really? EASY solutions to their daily problems.
If your business is RIGHT THERE, ON THEIR PHONE, who do you think they are going to call first? Answer; YOU. Why; Because it's EASY.
With competition so fierce even something as simple as fumbling around, looking for the right number to call, can lose you a customer.
So give them what they want. The rewards and revenue will be well worth it.

8- A Branded Mobile App will give you the ability to promote when YOU want to and when YOU need need to.
It's called 'Just in Time' marketing, and it can save you money while it brings in customers.
When it comes to print ads, whether newspapers, magazines, yellow pages or whatever, there is always the need to coordinate your marketing program weeks, even months in advance.
Problem is, if the market changed or your plans change the print promotion CAN'T CHANGE after a certain time, usually weeks before the actual promotion takes place. That means time, money and CUSTOMERS lost.
With a branded App your promotional plans can be made days or even hours before the promotion takes place. Have too many widgets? Send out a widget promo TODAY. No need to wait until the newspaper says they're ready, or the new yellow pages come out.
Promotions are now in YOUR power. Feeling powerful today? No? You need a Branded Mobile App.
