3. Tip#1: Know The Mobile App Market
• It is important for application developers to realize that
it is not enough to have a great idea for a mobile
application. It is equally important to understand the
mobile app market, the best type of apps available, and
what sets these apps apart from others in the market.
• Take time to analyze similar mobile apps or apps from
competitors that belong to the same industry. Check
customer reviews of these apps to see how you can
address the needs of customers or solve their problems
by developing a mobile app.
4. Tip#2: Understand The End Users
• App developers should understand the needs of
customers in order to develop useful apps. Identify the
usage patterns of end users and develop an app that will
be interactive and intuitive to anticipate the user’s
reactions and behavior. App developers should create a
mobile app that is useful and valuable to customers.

innovative features from mobile apps. Creating an
average mobile app with simple functionality will not
suffice. Mobile users will choose to ignore these mobile
apps in favor of better and more innovative apps.
5. Tip#3: Integrate Your Mobile App With
Social Networks
• A majority of mobile phone users are active on social
networking sites and often share content on these sites
with their friends and contacts.
• It makes business sense to integrate social media
features and share icons for content in these mobile
apps. This will encourage mobile users to share content
on the social media sites by using these mobile apps.
6. Tip#4: Update The App At Regular
Intervals
• A great way of keeping customers engaged in the app is
to regularly update the app with fresh content.
• Another way is to request feedback from customers and
keep a check on what the competition is actually doing.
7. Tip#5: Reward App Users For Their
Loyalty
• Business owners can also reward app users for their
loyalty. Offer loyalty points in the form of redeemable
coupons or vouchers to encourage them to continue
using the app and for successful referrals of the mobile
app.

investing in a mobile app to grow their business. The tips
