How do you help customers to use your product more often?
What if you could get them more engaged with what you have to offer, increase user satisfaction and make people want to stick with your service for, like, forever?
The answer is on your mobile phone, in the icons that, tile-like, adorn your screen.
What your business needs is an app.
If you’ve never considered an app for your business, there are very good reasons why you should.
First, everyone uses them. Anyone who owns a smartphone has apps that they go to on a regular basis. An app makes your product accessible like nothing else, putting it in people’s pockets and literally at their fingertips.
Second, you don’t need a particular kind of business to have an app – apps can be made to suit any product or service.
And third, the benefit you stand to gain in terms of customer engagement and retention far outweigh the cost of having an app made, especially with current advancements in the technology involved.
To get a better idea of how significant app usage is in the current market, let’s take a look at the numbers.
In 2017, the number of mobile app downloads worldwide was 178.1 billion. In most markets studied, the average smartphone user had 80 apps on their phone, 40 of which they used in a given month. Consumer spend on apps, in the meantime, exceeded $86 billion, a growth of over 105 percent since 2015.
How do you go about getting an app?
TheAppMatch is an app creation service that takes you through three distinct steps: consultation, project management, and launch.
- Consultation – This is where the AppMatch team look at your audience and find out more about them. What problems do they have? What interests them? What do they have in common? This info will be used to recommend app concepts that will provide solutions, promote community, create connections, share your message and excite.
- Project Management – During the process of production and rollout the team will be in communication with you, walking you through the steps and managing things so that you need only concentrate on doing what you’re good at – providing value to your audience.
- Launch – TheAppMatch don’t just make your app, they help you market it as well. As early as the development stages and up until release, they’ll lead you through a proven process that will build excitement and anticipation in your audience, using social media, webinars and more.
We had TheAppMatch create an app for the SuperFastBusiness paid membership, and the result is an attractive interface that makes it super convenient for members to access and use the resources provided by the community.

This looks like a great service! It’s great that they offer consulting along with build and design, unlike most firms. Do you think having an app built for a business just starting out is beneficial? Or is this best for more established businesses?
