Summary
• The majority of branded apps fail• They’re hard for consumers to find• They often don’t have enough utility to become one of the 27 regularly used apps used by consumers
However...
There are exceptions to the rule
• Nike+ Fitness – Plan and manage your workouts• Dominos Pizza – order and track your pizza• Citi Mobile – manage your financial accounts and deposit checks with phone camera• British Airways – book and manage your flights
All of these apps offer high utility which are supported by extensive and costly promotional campaigns
So what can you do?
Most brands will get better results with:
• A highly effective, mobile-responsive website • Advertising within apps consumers already use• Mobile enterprise apps
What are mobile enterprise apps?!
