For new business

Page 10: Marketing Plan for Mobile App

Smartphone – The Ideal Platform#1 Mobile Apps Offer Better PersonalizationPersonalization is about offering tailored communication to users based on their interests, location, usage behaviour, and more.#2 Ease of Sending NotificationsInclude push and in-app notifications. They both are exciting alternatives for communicating with app users in a less intrusive manner.#3 Making Use of Mobile Device FeaturesMobile apps have the advantage of utilizing features of a mobile device like camera, contact list, GPS, phone calls, accelerometer, compass, etc.#4 Ability to Work OfflineEven though mobile websites can use caching to load web pages without an internet connection, they can only offer limited functions.

Page 11: Marketing Plan for Mobile App

#5 Freedom in DesigningEven with all the technological advancements in web designing, mobile websites have to rely a lot on browsers to perform even the most elementary functions. Mobile websites depend on browser features like ‘back button,’ ‘refresh button,’ and ‘address bar’ to work. A mobile app can be designed with a lot of elaborate functions, based on advanced gestures like ‘tap,’ ‘swipe,’ ‘drag,’ ‘pinch,’ ‘hold,’ and more.#6 Users Spend More Time on AppsMobile users spend 86% of their time on mobile apps and just 14% of the time on mobile websites.

are in the actual product and its features. Not all features may be desirable to the

consumer. In addition, it is vital to use this information to understand whether the

user will actually be willing to upgrade to premium.
