#1 Market Outreach
A mobile app will help you establish your presence among the 2.7 billion smartphone users in the market. This serves as an additional medium for customers to instantly access your business content and thereby help you increase your overall Return on Investment (ROI). Customers are much likely to download an app to avail services, rather than go through the time-consuming route of using a laptop/ desktop to search for information. You can convert the 2.7 billion “potential” customers to “purchasing” customers using a mobile app alone!
#2 Brand Recognition and Value
Imagine that every time a user visits the Play store or Apple App store, they see your brand’s logo. This not only increases your brand’s visibility but also makes the customer aware that if they ever need a similar service, your app is available for them. Having an app also establishes a sense of credibility in the customers mind, ultimately adding value to your service.
#3 Improved Customer Interactions
A mobile app will provide a convenient way for your customers to interact with your business. Whether it be product purchases or registering grievances- an app is a faster medium to do this. Live chats integrated within the app can help your customers get instant query resolutions. A mobile app will allow you to instantly notify your customers through push notifications and instant messages. A 24∗7 customer service available through the app will imply improve customer satisfaction.
#4 Boosting Business Profits
Customers can be introduced to loyalty points, bonus, reward programs, etc. that can help boost the sales of your product. In-app purchases of products and services is another strategy that can contribute to your overall ROI. A great example of this is the ‘McDonald’, Dominoes app that allows people to order food efficiently and quickly. Their special offers available only through the app have led to a boost in their sales!
#5 Analyzing Customer Related Statistics
A Mobile app will help you gain information regarding your customers. Your business will be able to make smarter choices through collected information like customer demographics, geographical locations, preferences, behavioral patterns etc. Data trends that can be derived from this information is a well-established method of boosting sales.

She uses her app to quickly ‘add to cart’ , ‘checkout’ and ‘pay online’. Three tasks – done and dusted instantaneously!
#7 Faster Customer Query Resolutions
If your customer wants to know more about your service, or get a query attended to a mobile app will be very handy. Instead of booting up a computer, accessing the website through a browser and then checking your website for a solution, a phone app will require minimum effort and give instant resolutions. Customers will also be provided quick resolutions to queries or feedback/grievances that can be simply registered through minimal effort on the app
#8 Personalized Content for Customers
Customers appreciate highly tailored content as per their needs. User-centric personalization can be based on a user’s interest, behaviors, location, demographics and other factors. Mobile apps make it easier to cater to personalized experiences- all the while contributing to customer satisfaction
