While mobile responsive websites ensure that the customers get to know and understand about the business, there is no personalization. Also, a website does not offer any additional feature than showcasing of one’s business and brand. A mobile responsive website is just a projection of the desktop version of the website which is compatible with the consumer’s mobile.

Direct Marketing: All information regarding a product or service is at the consumer’s fingertips and with additional features like push notifications, they can always be updated about the latest offers, discounts, flash sales, etc. All these based on a personalized level of analyzed interests and previous searches made in the application. It is like getting to know each of the customers using your product or service on a personal level. This is of very high significance in the marketing world and makes a lot of difference in brand promotion.
Value Addition: Customers always love getting more out of what they spend. Isn’t that why loyalty cards and reward points never go out of fashion? Mobile apps nowadays come with a reward system for every purchase made, which can be redeemed online via the mobile app. This not only increases brand loyalty and makes sure that customers return, but also increases the customer base and brand-awareness through word-of-mouth. Nobody forgets a good reward, right?
Brand Promotion And Increasing Brand Awareness: A website says a lot about its target audience. Likewise, a mobile app design speaks volumes about how much the organization wants to connect with its customers and increases customer engagement. It is more personal than just understanding the customer’s last product search. A well designed and user-friendly mobile app design connects with the customer and keeps them involved and interested in their brand. Like the advertising mantra goes “you buy what you see”. Advertising is nowadays more than just making the customer see an advertisement and promoting their business. It is about building a connection with them such that they are inclined to buy the product or service. With so many options and so many competitors in the market, it is essential to stand out from the crowd and be able to showcase what one’s business can offer and why choosing them would benefit the customers. It is all about reaching out.
Making business user-friendly: Consumers today are busy and want quick fixes for everything. They require a service which will make their online interaction less tiresome and more exciting. It is good if a business is available on call or mail 24/7 for customer’s queries and needs, but it is great if a customer can just get his/her product or service need satisfied with just few clicks in the personalized application. The difference between good and great is what will matter for an organization to be a step ahead than the rest and grow. Companies must ensure that they stay updated with the market trend with a customer friendly mobile app for business growth.
