The massive growth of the mobile market mainly results from the fact that people are looking for a myriad of services that smartphone apps can, and should, deliver. No matter how unusual, where there is a need, there are also people seeking to meet that need with just a few in-app touches on the screen – and if that app does not exist yet, then it is time to create it. Following this reasoning, in case your company, product or service can address a specific demand, then you should provide that solution through an exclusive app.
Success, however, does not come overnight. Here are some tips that may help to turn your service into a major success:
- Write a good business plan, including cost projection and growth strategy, as there is a long path before a great number of people learn about, download and use your app. Do not let yourself be disappointed if it does not hit # 1 in downloads in the first week.
- Does your app provide a solution to a large demand or just a passing whim? Ensure your target audience actually needs what you offer, otherwise, your app’s success will be fleeting – people only keep apps that provide short-term solutions to ongoing problems.
- Are there other apps in the market that provide the same solution you are considering? If the answer is ‘yes’, then your journey to success will be A LOT harder. Even if your future service is much better, users are already loyal to the first arrival. Sometimes, it is worthwhile pursuing another idea instead of perfecting something that serves everyone in the market so well.
- Do you have a pioneering idea instead? Then do not waste time and immediately execute it, because someone else (definitely) had the same idea and is doing the same thing.
- Design and usability. Having a visually appealing and easy to navigate app is crucial – anything less than perfect in these two aspects will give your service a bad name before people even have time to find out if the app indeed delivers what it promises.
