Why You Cannot Get Ahead Without a Mobile App in 2015
Why You Cannot Get Ahead Without a Mobile App in 2015
Webmasters and
keen followers of the news will all have been aware of the latest update from
Google, which was launched on 21st April. The new algorithm, dubbed ‘Mobilegeddon’ by many sceptics, was put in place to
ensure that sites which were optimised for mobile devices ranked higher on
Google’s search engine results pages.
While it is one
thing for a website to rank highly on Google thanks to a mobile site, it is
another thing altogether to incorporate one’s own app into a business. Whether
your business is well-established or you’re just starting out, here are a few
reasons why you cannot be without a mobile app in 2015.
Mobile apps are 24/7
Imagine a world
where you can guarantee top class customer service around the clock, without
having to rely on cumbersome call centres. Of course, this is not to discount
the obvious benefits of human contact, but the advantages of a mobile app are
that a customer can log on at a time that is convenient for them and research
and eventually buy a product in which they are interested, wherever they are
and whatever time it is. Naturally, a mobile app driving sales throughout the
night will require a bigger sales and distribution team, but with improved
access, you’ll doubtless see your profits go through the roof.
Mobile apps are universal
Contrary to
popular belief that apps only work for tracking fitness or ordering pizzas,
advances in technology have given many industries the ability to take advantage
of app capabilities. For example, the gaming industry is now going more mobile
than ever before, with sites like Coral’s poker app for smartphones, iPads and more. You may feel that your business is not interactive
enough to warrant an app, but you would be surprised at just how much more
custom you will receive from investing in one.
Mobile apps are simple
One of the biggest
incentives for creating a mobile app is the simplest one – they are just
simple! How often do you hear of customers tirelessly trying to crawl their way
around a website with poorly designed search bars, misleading headings and
more? With the handy ‘burger’ function of a mobile app, customers have easy
access to a menu which points them in the direction of exactly what they want.
What’s more, it also promotes speed, allowing customers to save payment details
and process their order at the touch of a button.
Investing in a
mobile app may be a frightening concept at first, but just as these apps are
easy to use, they are also easy to create! For more information on just how
