WHY YOUR RETAIL STORE NEEDS A MOBILE APP

The shift in consumer behavior towards mobile is making a big mark on the retail industry. Modern day shoppers are using their smart phones to readily access product information at any time. The consumer goods industry is responding to the rapid adoption of mobile and focusing on ways to accommodate their changing customer base. By leveraging the power of mobile shopping apps, retail stores are able to successfully manage their customers, keep them well informed, and provide value-added extras such as customer loyalty programs.

Mobile apps present a significant opportunity for both online and in-store retailers. A wealth of features can be harnessed to ensure customer loyalty and boost point of sale opportunities. For example, a mobile shopping cart allows a store to sell its merchandise and receive payment directly through the app. Push notifications can be used to send direct messages to customers with new offers and the latest news regarding a store. A mobile loyalty card can be employed to encourage customer retention and increased purchasing. Making the investment in a mobile shopping app is crucial to the future success of any retail store.

At Cluvis Apps, we strongly believe that a solid mobile marketing strategy is a must for today’s retailer. We take pride in providing a simple and cost efficient way to create a customized mobile app and mobile website that can be managed through our user-friendly content management system.

BUSINESS OWNERS! TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PUSH NOTIFICATIONS!!

Push notifications are a powerful marketing tool used for connecting with your customers on their mobile devices. When you send out a push notification, any customer that has downloaded your application and chosen to allow push notes will receive your message. For instance, let’s say you own a restaurant or bar. You are introducing a new happy hour to help increase customer traffic during a particularly slow season.  Sending out a push notification will immediately let these customers know about your special and help to increase traffic at your establishment!

Below are a few highlights of push notifications for your business:

• Push notifications allow you to send direct messages to anyone that has downloaded your application
• Push notes can contain up to 128 characters, leaving plenty of space to generate a compelling message for your customers
• In most cases, push notes show up right on the front of the user’s phone, and are required to be clicked or dismissed
• Sending a push notification with Cluvis Apps is free, whereas a text messaging program typically costs between $0.02 - $0.20 per send.
• Receiving a push notification is free for the user, while a text message program would require the user to have a messaging plan or pay per text message received.

Push notifications are included free when you create an app with Cluvis Apps. The video below will show you just how easy it is to incorporate and send push notifications using the Cluvis Apps Content Management System. Call us at 888.728.8884 or visit www.Cluvisapps.com to get started today!
