Small Business App Features
If your app is installed onto a phone this means an icon with your logo is added to their phone too. The average user looks at their phone 150 times a day so consciously or subconsciously, your logo, business name and brand will get ingrained into their psyche. Guaranteeing that they will never forget your business again!
Just As Important As Your Shop Window
The image you create when the customer visits your business is just as important in an App as it is in the real world. This is why Appy Monkey spend a great deal of time and energy, fabricating a beautifully designed welcome screen to greet visitors when they first open your app. This will further strengthen your business name, logo and brand.
