Assuming you have a mobile business app, would you rate it a success up to now?
Many small businesses thinking of going the app route for one reason or another end up not doing it. As a result, they can be missing out on opportunities to sell their brand.
If you’ve decided to move forward with a mobile app, where will you begin?
Making Sure You Get Good Reviews
Whether only starting out with an app or you’ve had one around for a while now, you want to make sure it gets good reviews.
With that in mind, know that there are companies out there whose sole job is to review business apps on a daily basis. As such, you’d want to get a good review, correct?
Whether getting a Bismanonline app review or from other companies, here’s why good ones are key:
- Brand notoriety – While you never want to stand out for the wrong reason, notoriety for the right ones is big. That said a strong mobile app game is important for your brands success. Having that recognition can not only help you keep business, but also land new customers.
- Customer experience – Good reviews help build a better customer experience. If a consumer has your app at or near the top of their phone, there’s a good chance you’re going to do regular business. Although many still shop online via desktop or laptop computers, more go the mobile route. As such, you want to make sure they have the best customer experience possible each time out.
- Socialize the process – With a mobile app, make sure your business is as social as can be. Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and other such sites are important to promoting your brand. Your app can offer relevant industry content, coupons, and of course consumer feedback. With a solid social media game on your app, reviewers will be apt to give you the thumbs up.
- Staying ahead – Last, you want positive reviews to stay ahead of the competition. Remember, most competitors will always be looking for ways to upstage you. As a result, you can’t assume they are not investing much time and money into their apps. The chances are they have in fact been investing time and dollars towards their apps (see more below).
Did You Design the Best Possible App?
Whether you did your mobile app in-house or reached out for help, did you come up with a good one?
In the event you are not happy with the current app for your small business, don’t settle for mediocrity.
Take the time and money if necessary to do better. When you do, your mobile app should garner more interest from consumers.
Last, don’t be afraid to see what competitors have done with their apps.
Never copy them down to the last detail. That said don’t be afraid to look at their ideas and how you could put in place one or more in your own manner.
If your app is not scoring points with consumers, it is time to restart the game.
