5 Reasons Your Business Needs an App
 
1. Keeping up with the times
Successful businesses are no strangers to the benefits of mobile apps. According to data collected by Biznessapps, nearly half of small businesses are expected to adopt a mobile app by the end of 2017. Apps provide an innovative mobile experience for customers that can be as unique as your business.
 
2. Solidify your brand
When a business creates an app, they are investing in their brand by improving recognition. Even when users aren’t directly interacting with your app, they see the icon on their mobile device. This serves as a visual reminder of your company which can lead to more sales. Competitors are aware of this and the trend of mobile apps is still on the rise.
 
3.Customers Satisfaction
An app is open 24/7 which means customers can access your goods and services at any time. By learning more about users and their preferences through app activity, you can also better target your audience. Increasing efficiency and catering to consumer needs will make your customers happier!


4. Provide value to your customers
Apps are often designed with incentives for loyal customers. Discount codes or reward points are only one example of how a business can retain their customer base through an app. Making it easy to connect with your brand will also provide value.
 
Apps are created to make a customer’s life easier, make the customer happy, entertained or are usually a tool. All of these things add value to the customers life. In return, through incentives and small surveys/questionnaires on an app businesses can receive feedback on their service as well as help them better understand and target their future audience.
 
5. Engage with your customers
Mobile apps receive a higher level of engagement than regular websites. This is a perfect platform to promote products or services, highlight special deals, offer discounts etc. Push notifications and social media channels through your app also provide additional ways to interact with customers.

Whether you love it or hate it, these tips will make writing content easier and more effective.

1. As much as you don't want to, create outlines. 

Creating outlines can be daunting, but they’re worth the time spent. Focus on these few questions when brainstorming about your future blog article.
  1. What is your primary keyword?
  2. What solutions are you providing to the proposed problem?
  3. Why are readers interested in this topic?
  4. Who is the target audience?
  5. How am I going to visually represent my content? ​

2. Set deadlines and stick to them.

It's easy to lose track of time when writing. In your next session, record how long it actually takes you to complete a post. This will allow you to budget time effectively in the future and work on becoming more efficient. After you have a schedule, shave off a few minutes on each task to challenge yourself.

3. Write about what you know.

Deeply familiarize yourself with a topic to establish credibility with your audience and to provide valuable content. Readers aren't going to waste time on a post if it seems vague, confusing, or inaccurate. Explore online forums to see what topics your direct audience is curious about to create content that is filling a void.

4. Use action words. 

Motivate readers to action by making it easy for them to follow through on suggestions. Avoid salesy language and always be clear and concise. Adding visual content to demonstrate actions can also increase chances of users heeding your advice.

5. Include data and statistics.

It's all about the numbers. Adding stats can help build credibility by supporting your writing with clear-cut facts. They also make great headlines. Grab a user’s attention with some eye-popping stats to increase chances of your post being read.

Now, set the timer and begin writing effectively!
