Why Are Mobile Apps Considered So Essential For Business?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Mobile apps have undergone a truly incredible pace of growth and acceptance over the last decade. It\u2019s tough to believe, but apps have only recently found their place in mainstream life. Ten years ago, apps were a niche product that only Apple were predominantly toying with– now apps are considered absolutely essential tools for every business owner.<\/p>\n

There are always trends when it comes to business tools; new ideas and innovations that everyone is encouraged to try, but then fizzle out to nothing. Apps, however, have found a staying power that is truly impressive, integrating with modern life and justifying their position as the essential tool for businesses.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have an app, but you do have a successful business, you may have wondered what all the fuss is about. You will likely have read numerous articles that insist that an app is essential for a modern business, but have dismissed them: if your business is doing well without an app, then why do you need to go to the time and expense of creating one? Why is everyone so obsessed with the importance of apps when it\u2019s clear that businesses can function just fine without one? Here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n

#1 – The change in user behavior<\/strong><\/p>\n

For many years, a company\u2019s sole presence online was a website<\/a>. If the website worked when viewed on a desktop computer, then they didn\u2019t need to concern themselves with much else. Getting ranked on Google was easy, because there were fewer sites to choose from, and advertising just meant the purchase of a few banner ads.<\/p>\n

In 2018, the landscape has changed, and this change is almost entirely user-driven. The first change is how people use the internet; mobile viewing is becoming more and more popular, to the point where it threatens to eclipse standard web browsing entirely.<\/p>\n

Secondly, advertising online is becoming more and more difficult. Users are more savvy than they used to be; most won\u2019t click on ads, and some will go to steps to erase ads from their online experience altogether by using an adblocker.<\/p>\n

Apps have become more popular due to a combination of these factors.<\/p>\n
