“The Kodak problem is that it didnot move into the digital world well enough and fast enough.

Why?

Answer: The organization overflowed with complacency.

New technology has fierce competitors, low margins and cannibalizes your high margin core business. Kodak did not take decisive action to combat the inevitable changes.”

Great! You have a mobile site. Once you get someone to your mobile site, or your traditional

site, how are you going to get them to come back?

Mobile applications, simply by the nature of their functionality, have extremely high retention rates.

Why?

Because just like the fax machine and email, they provide the desired information faster and easier.

What will make your FREE app successful?If an app is free the user needs a reason to keep it.

1. The app needs to function correctly.2. Need multiple ways for users to interact with the app.3. Need ways the user can customize how they search.4. Need to re-engage the user through the application to

provide more value.

You would rather have 15,000 downloads and 5,000 active users than 50,000 downloads and 1,000 active users.
