The popularity and fast paced development of mobile apps by Google, Blackberry and Apple has created an environment where a vast majority of companies can reach huge numbers of existing and prospective clients in minimum time with little effort or cost. Mobile applications are ideally suited for small and medium businesses to keep clients informed of company information and broadcast promotions, events and sales. Mobile apps also allow for real-time customer reviews and responses, thus providing clients with a more personal relationship with the company.

There are many reasons your company should consider mobile app development, but two of the main reasons are; customization and wider information distribution.

1. When thinking about building an app the first time that enters a person’s mind is money. Being able to customize an app to only have features that you are interested in is the best way to keep costs down. For example, some Apps from Apple focus on niches like works completed only by Van Gough; these niche apps are clearly a labor of love for the creators.

2. Mobile apps can also be developed cross-platform. There are several app platforms such as Apple, Blackberry and Android, the ability to develop low cost apps allows the creation of multiple apps that will work with each of the individual platforms, thus being available to more people. Each of the three main platforms also have their own ‘app stores’ which act as a central hub for distribution, thus saving you more money by not having to host and maintain your own websites to allow customers to download your apps.
