No business is too small to benefit from an app!

Apps suit every industry. Whether you are a club or an insurance company, sell clothes or run an emergency plumbing service – everywhere, an app is a service that makes doing business easier for you and your customers.

We have put together four examples from different industries:

Hospitality:

Whether you own a restaurant, a bar or a bakery, offering your guests the service of an app benefits both sides. Your guests can, for example, look at your food and drinks menu directly and find your location, your opening hours and special offers. You can offer your guests direct ordering with delivery or collection. This is ideal for pizza delivery services, for example, or for pre-ordering bread rolls or cakes at the bakery.

Services:

If you offer services, you can tell your clients in detail about what you do and about your personal expertise. Your customers can also make appointments through the app, and you can even let them book specific services with you. At a beauty salon or a hairdresser’s, for example, a manicure or a cut and colour could be booked in advance directly.

Retail:

Whatever goods you sell, you can, among other things, present your range to potential buyers in detail with pictures and descriptions. You can set things up so that your customers order and pay through the app, and the app can even let your customers know automatically when an order has been dispatched. Spontaneous promotions and vouchers can be announced and also redeemed through the app.

Clubs:

Clubs can reach all their members instantly at any time, which makes it easier to organise group meetings and plan events. You can also set things up so that your members and sponsors can donate or pay their membership fees through the app.

One more tip:

When creating your app, remember that it should not only be useful to you as the business owner – for example because appointments and orders no longer have to be entered separately – but should also be a useful service for your customers.

Give your customers as much information as possible about yourself, your business and your products or services. Also ask your customers for feedback on the new service. That way you get useful information on how to keep improving your app, to win the attention of your existing and new customers and to improve what you offer.
