You may think having a mobile website is enough, but without mobile apps, it is more difficult to engage with your clients and potential customers. Knoxweb explains that mobile apps allow you to talk to your users in real time.

If you follow the Knoxweb blog, you will know that there are more mobile than desktop users. Using mobile apps effectively will attract new customers giving your business or organization a heads up on the competition.

What to Consider

Budget is one of the first things to put on your list. You need to determine if the cost will be effective in your marketing strategy. Other things to put on your list include usability, features and your demographic.

Recent studies indicate that users now prefer a mobile app to a mobile website.

Below are a few more reasons to build a mobile app for your business:

Better personalization-When you personalize your app you are tailoring your communication to your customers location and their usage behavior. With a mobile app, your users can set up preferences at the beginning based on customized content. Mobile apps also observe and track your user’s engagement offering updates and user recommendations. A mobile app can also identify user location in real time allowing geography specific content. Personalization can also improve your conversion rates.

Notification Made Easy-Email used to be the best tool for business, however because of overuse, email may not be as effective as it used to be with open and click rates dropping. Ease of notification is one of the biggest advantages when it comes to mobile apps.

Using Mobile Features

A mobile app has the advantage when it comes to utilizing mobile device features such as making a phone call, finding a location with GPS, or accessing your contact list. Mobile features also make user experience fun and interactive.

If forms or photographs need to be submitted, the camera can be used within the mobile app allowing the user to capture and submit a photo. This feature also makes it easier to perform simple tasks in a shorter amount of time boosting your conversion rates.

Work Offline-One of the biggest differences between mobile websites and mobile apps is the ability to work without an internet connection. Although the app itself may require connectivity for the majority of tasks, basic content is still available offline.

Design Freedom-Although web design is certainly more advanced than it used to be, mobile websites still relay on browsers when it comes to elementary functions. A mobile website depends on browser features such as an address bar, a refresh button, and a back button. Mobile apps do not have these restrictions. Knoxweb can design your mobile app with elaborate features that are based on gestures such as pinching, holding, dragging, swiping, and tapping.
