Apps for OFFLINE businesses

13 years ago

Yup, I have mentioned that apps are doing well for me right now.

I would say a good medium for creating a app should be $500 plus a monthly retainer fee. You can include the fee in your monthly services.

I use a simple point and click online app builder that was made for small business in mind.

PM me if you want the link.

Hey Jerry I can't PM yet but I am very much interested in that link you have. I'm trying to focus my offline biz around mobile (SMS, mobile web) and I would love to add simple apps to my list of services.
If u can email at greatzen at hotmail that would be very much appreciated. Thanks

  No prob.
  
  Some great selling points are:
  
  *In app push notifications
  These work like SMS text messages BUT with out the fees! Users can send unlimited in app messages to the app users. So, daily deals, events, etc. can be sent out.
  
  QR Code Coupons
  Users scan qr codes that allows "check ins" to business with the option to share via twitter & facebook. If a user can scan and receive a deal, they can also share the deal they got via FB & twitter.
  
  Just some examples, there are more like online reservations, online ordering etc.
  
  Good luck.

Hi Jerry,

Can you tell me, is the AppBotic monthly pricing structure per app or can you develop multiple apps on the one account?

Cheers

Thanks

It's per client/app. I'm sure you would have to create a new account for each business app.

I've hinted at it to some businesses. I don't think all would benefit from a mobile app though. Places that already have a kind of big following could benefit from it, but a place that has low to medium following might just be wasting time in my opinion.

Depending on the complexity of the app, I would say probably anywhere from $1000-$35,000 for an app, plus a monthly maintenance fee.

If the business doesn't have a large enough following for a mobile app, I would suggest doing mobile in app advertising as a stronger alternative. In app advertising is already projected to be the new wave of advertising in the next year or two, so you might as well.

Thanks

True BUT you can also increase a following by offering a flyer with a QR code to download the app. It should be included with each purchase. It could be the size of a coupon, cutting printing costs.

Kind of like an email opt in.

Good idea.

Thanks for sharing this Jerry! Mobile websites is definately something many small local businesses such as restaurants will not have! So this is something to look into. I'll have to look around the AppBottic site to learn more about the development and how it works and how companies to make clever use of it etc. But looks good thus far. Cheers again!

Oh if you have any insider tips, feel free to throw them into a PM my way

Thanks
