How Can Small and Medium Businesses Benefit from Having Their Own Mobile Application?

In today’s digital age, consumers expect fast, easy, and constant access to the products and services they use on a daily basis. They want to grab the smartphone they always have at their fingertips, open an app, and get things done. This need has led many small and medium-sized businesses to explore creating their own applications to help their customers manage their lives in a way they prefer – a mobile one.

Clothing stores, kindergartens, housing cooperatives, libraries – businesses which are, at first glance, not related to each other. They fulfill different roles and have different target groups. What if I tell you there is one thing that connects all of them? One small factor that makes them look alike. Can you guess what we mean? It’s a mobile application. They all have their own mobile apps dedicated to their customers, participants, and people related to their offer. 

Well, even when thinking about it for a long time, we can’t even find a kind of business that is not able to have its own app (or doesn’t have the potential to get it). This is because of one reason. Mobile applications are universal. They can meet every business’s needs, provided that when you create your application, you know your target group perfectly, you know what the app’s goal is, and you have a strategy for launching it.

Every business has the potential for having a mobile application

In order to not be groundless, let’s analyze some of the examples of mobile apps for various kinds of businesses from different categories. Who are they? What products or services do they offer? And most importantly, what benefits do they get from their own application?

Let’s take a closer look at some of the real-life examples.

Unlocking the Potential of Digital Publishing: A Guide for Magazine Publishers

The debate about the changes, trends, and direction of growth in the digital publishing industry is not a discussion about books and magazines. It is a debate about the development of technology or, to be more specific, about how it has changed our daily lives. This impact is much greater than we think.

It comes to your attention when you observe kids. Have you had a chance recently to see how a few-year-old children open and use a notebook or a book today? If not, prepare to be shocked. One of the recent reports shows they are trying to swipe or tap pages like a smartphone or tablet. 

We can not blame them. These kids were born in a world full of interactive screens which were put in their hands from an early age. They treat every paper-page thing in the same way as devices, reflexively and intuitively. 

For such a tech-savvy generation (and each next one will be even more agile), traditional publications will be unattractive and simply boring. It’s like someone would order you to communicate with them by writing a letter on a typewriter instead of sending a message on one of the popular channels.

You can do it, but to what end?
