Why businesses need a mobile Application

A question that all of us ask all the time is

A point of discussion doing the rounds has been if you need a mobile application or a web presence (a web portal or website) is sufficient !?

The answer is simple that mobile application is needed besides a web presence for all businesses and starters. But a very important question is that why has mobile presence become so important.

4. With Push Notifications, you are able to reach out to your users with anything important to you as a brand or anything important to your app users. Hence, a chance to bind with your consumers/users/audiences.

5. The importance of mobile applications can be gauged from the way e-commerce companies are pushing their users to download their apps and giving app only discounts. Global brands like amazon or regional players like Flipkart understand it. They understand the numbers that they would be able to increase their sales with a mobile application.

6. Mobile Applications are like Call to Action buttons for businesses looking to make online sales, without one the sales would be less than the competitors who have a mobile application.

8. With Google being a dominant and the only player with a major market pie in search engines, website and web portal owners have to spend and pay a huge amount for SEO and takes a lot of time to time and effort and marketing and SEO to get user attention, but chances of success would be comparatively less than with mobile apps.
