How Applications Can Grow A Business

We understand the importance of technology and social media in the operations of business and how technology can be an aid in our business operations. We plan on focusing our attention on sites like Facebook, Instagram, and other social media outlets to advertise our business which will provide the customer with daily information on specials as well as access to coupon programs we provide. Using social media will provide an outlet for our customers to provide reviews and feedback on our business. Many people feel that bad reviews can hurt a business; we feel that bad reviews provide an opportunity for us to make a new friend and change a process which may harm our business with future guests. Two brothers would also like to develop a smartphone application for iOS and Android which we find is also lacking with many businesses in the Wenatchee valley. This application will also provide instant access to our business as well as letting us track our market. As far as marketing outside of social media we plan to brand our image using items like car clings, bumper stickers, clothing, and sponsorship of local

Moreover, the APP also has some of its own disadvantages. First of all, the use of the APP must depend on the network. That is, it must be used online and not out of the network. It is limited to the business of the enterprise in underdeveloped areas of the network and it is also a common defect of all kinds of APPs. This is limited to the expansion of the use areas of the APP. Because consumers cannot use the network or the cost of using the network is too high in some places, then they would give up using the APP.

There are also very basic applications on Google Play Store which provide some but not all of the features I would include in my application (such as apps which can calculate fuel consumption only but require constant user input on number of miles driven and fuel added to tank etc), these are often free but can have major issues such as accuracy, level of input or effectiveness of UI which make them not practical or convenient for the use of the client. My app will be different in the fact it will combine all the features of these apps into one app with a better UI and easier input methods, it will also be free meaning it will be more attractive to people in this industry who do not have a huge budget for a non-essential piece of software such as this. It will combine the positive features of apps available on the market and the costly trip computer devices to produce a free, or cheap app which offers the most important features of the expensive devices within the price range of the client.

Technology is rapidly changing our lifestyles on a daily basis. From how we entertain ourselves, how we stay in contact with one another, all the way to how we pay our bills. Successful attempts within the world of information technology have significantly changed the way we do business as well. Web and mobile-based applications created a new platform for businesses to expose themselves to new clientele, along with staying abreast to what competitors are using to compete with them. Individual use of these web and mobile-based applications can help a user upgrade his or her own standing in the business world as well, which is what I would like to talk about in this essay. In

The constant technology environmental changes have changed the way companies operate and consumers purchase products. Companies must stay abreast of new ways to advertise their products and make service fast, efficient, and reliable.

We’ve developed a Soft Search Mobile Phone Platform that provides business owners an invaluable opportunity to advertise and promote their products or services directly to pedestrians and commuters almost instantly.

First, let us touch upon what really is a smartphone, and the evolution of the medium itself. Although the mobile phone has been used for many decades, the smartphone has been one of the most successful stories of the last decade with the advancement and complexity. Smartphones are mobile devices that offer not only the basic functions of a phone with having the ability to send a text and communicating through calls, but also being able to perform many advanced functions of a computer. Internet access, high quality camera, exceptional memory, recording devices, geo-positioning systems and more are all included within the smartphones in this day and age. With the creation of simply downloading any app on the smartphone also constructed a dynamic feature for the industry. There is an app out there for just about anything and everything, whether it is for social needs, entertainment needs, or even educational needs. This medium has forced us to adopt this certain culture where we are always connected to our peers, communities and the world. The smartphone has pierced itself into society, snatching a huge number of subscribers from five year-olds learning how to spell and speak with an app, to senior citizens keeping in touch with their family and a safety device in the event of an accident potentially.

In today’s generation, the one thing a new upcoming company or business should remember is that mobile phones are becoming a daily driver for most of the consumer. Thus, creating an app would make the company more profitable in the market. Not having a mobile app is a major downside since most people use social media on their phone while commuting somewhere or when they wake up in the morning. No one would want to turn on their laptop and scroll through. It would just make it a big hassle for people. If you want to be successful in today’s market you have to be different than what your competition is using or you won’t survive. In a world of quick technology advancement being ad-free doesn 't cut it, you need to be different. Competing to Facebook and Pinterest, social media websites that have already established in the market, it would be hard for a startup with a similar idea to get to that level. Most people are already comfortable with and trust the existing and well-known companies rather than someone new and upcoming that isn’t popular.

An other strength to bare in mind is the cost of the application: free. This attractive costless characteristic is advantageous by reducing a substantial risk: not having enough users. Something ‘free’ attracts people, and people attract people. Undoubtedly, the success of the business will highly depends on it active user numbers. The more the app is used, the better it will work.

Managing such a business can, however, be tricky and rocky. I, therefore, conducted research in other mobile businesses and looked into methods that helped them.

Any business with a marketing team will find this application useful for sharing information and enhancing overall company performance.Salesforce is

Few technologies have had the disruptive impact of the smartphone across all industries, and especially in the area of enterprise software sales and service. The company Salesforce.com, has created comprehensive online product demonstrations that illustrate how effective the Apple iPhone and its larger counterpart, the iPad are in simplifying the complex aspects of Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Sales Force Automation (SFA) and Partner Relationship Management (PRM) (Limbasan, Rusu, 2011).

SaaS-based CRM development techniques Salesforce.com uses makes their applications easily used across thousands of users in enterprises who only need their smartphones to access, update and sell to customers using the software. Apple estimates that the iPhone is now the most commonly used smartphone in enterprises globally today, with approximately 68% market share as of fiscal year 2011 (Apple Investor Relations, 2012). The intent of this analysis is to evaluate how smartphones are leading to exponential growth of SaaS-based CRM applications including Salesforce.com and others (Katzan, Dowling, 2010). The continued growth of smartphone adoption in the enterprise is
