The growth of ecommerce has led the online business owners to expand their reach through mobile apps. Android and iPhone are the most commonly used platforms by the customers of today. According to Tech Crunch, $771 million revenue was earned from mobile customers on the Thanksgiving Day. Such researches prove that if you want to promote visibility and sales, having an ecommerce website is not enough. For several reasons, mobile apps are a better option as compared to the websites browsed on mobile and desktop.

Why Should You Develop a Mobile App for Your Ecommerce Store? Why you should have an ecommerce mobile app

Given below are some of the reasons why you should get mobile apps developed for your ecommerce business.

Easy to access retail stores with apps

As apps provide a better performance and improved user experience, consumers prefer to use apps over browsers. Also, as the apps are getting smarter, they display products based on the choice and preferences of customers. A report by Adobe revealed that 67% mobile shoppers use apps that belong to their favourite brand. Hence, by providing an intuitive app, you can build a loyal customer base. Retailers can also provide benefits to their customers through discount coupons and deals which attract customers and keep them engaged with the apps for a long time.

Push notifications that work

Sending a small notification through your app like - Weekend sale! Get 50% off on all the products; can prove to be highly effective in boosting your sales. Your customers can take a look at these notifications even without opening the app. Such tailored applications work great if used wisely. Over sending notifications can also agitate the customers.

Control over user-experience

Creating a customized application can give the freedom to your developers to build something that provides with a powerful and unique experience to your customers. Apps also enable the developers to customize the user-experience according to the device and helps them to go beyond the limitations of responsive web design. They can also work on a user preferred platform i.e. Android or iOS.

Social sharing made easy

If you want your loyal customers to spread the word about your brand, you can also provide the social media sharing option through your apps. Whenever you launch a new product or service, your customers can share and alert their friends through social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc.

The abandonment rates vary based on what industry you’re operating in. The statistics shows that 7 of 10 leave without buying. You should learn about shopping cart abandonment reasons and make your best to avoid them.

E-commerce stores need to invest in mobile app development because of the growing popularity of smartphones and other mobile devices. It has become a must-have rather than an option. Smart devices such as cell phones have surpassed static screens such as desktops.
