Apps offer unique ways to engage with your best customers, including connecting through social and gaming. Apps can aid the offline experience, driving e-commerce and loyalty.
Apps have been a successful channel for various verticals:
Some companies rely primarily (or only) on their app as their customer engagement channel. King has built a huge business (as have Supercell, Machine Zone, and many others) by creating unique games. Many social apps (e.g., Line), rideshare (e.g., Uber), and travel (e.g., HotelTonight, AirBnB) have also seen tremendous success by offering a tailored mobile experience leveraging unique app capabilities such as sign-in/authentication and phone features like camera or GPS.
We have seen several brands successfully leverage their app to develop deep and meaningful relationships with their customers. For example, Starbucks drives in-store loyalty by awarding “stars”, facilitating mobile payments, giving personalized offers and messaging. Other interesting examples include Walgreens which facilitates pharmaceutical refills by taking pictures, Walmart that uses a ‘Savings Catcher’ for price comparison, and Target which uses the “Cartwheel” app for personalized offers.
The largest challenges for promoting your app is driving discovery and installation, driving engagement, and driving conversion of your most valuable customers. Below we’ll discuss these challenges in more detail and review the best solutions for overcoming them.
