In case you didn’t know, applications have a high dropout rate. Most mobile applications stop being use and even get eliminated from the device after a week or two from being download. Sometimes we find that the apps get deleted because it was just a punctual need. Other times our app may be not so interesting. But to get the users to keep the app on their device we need to exploit our strengths. A good way for this can be to focus on excellent content.

Customers get involved and the content and branded undertake.Working the content of our app is to adapt our website to a smaller screen. We can make more of an app and get the user-client engage with the content if this is more attractive using the possibilities of the new mobile way. We must take advantage of the potential of interaction between users and the brand if the experience is smooth, simple and entertaining.

You want more than content, you want experience within your mobile app. Podcasts, computer graphics, augmented reality, share content over networks, using videos, blog content themselves… Are you ready to give it all?

Apps content and “branding”

We can consider such mobile applications as expressly emerged to promote the brand products, but also to entertain and be interactive. Those are apps that create a unique experience offered by the brand. Some very clear and very successful examples are:
