Mobile Apps Business Strategy Short Marketing Analysis of the Mobile Apps Market Every modern business needs its own mobile app in order to attract new customers and drive away the competitors without their own mobile apps. 36% of construction companies utilized more than 5 mobile business apps in 2014 (Business-Apps, 2015).

Some apps are cross-platform, and some are not. Free software offering can be a smart move for attracting new clients. Software-as-a-service (SaaS) offerings help avoiding app management and development costs. The websites such as salesforce.com and Microsoft Dynamics help solving problems related to mobile relationship management (CRM). Salesforce's monthly subscription costs $125, and Microsoft Dynamics CRM's monthly subscription is $65. MobileFabric enterprise apps subscriptions cost $80 monthly for up to 10 apps. Subscription for the unlimited apps worth $150. Kony's subscription worth $29 for 5 apps monthly. Paradoxically, but the free games must be the most profitable mobile apps (Mirani, 2015). The point is that users start playing games for free, but then they purchase additional items/coupons within the games. Nearly 93 percent of the mobile games are free at the beginning (the so called “free-to-play” games (FTP)). These games eventually generate about $220 billion annually while pre-paid mobile games generate only $10 billion, or 4.55 percent of the free-to-play market. As a conclusion, every mobile app must have its clear audience (students, employers, businessmen, software developers, jobless,
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.

There is a large market for the selling of APP that the public want or are interested in, such as “Mark Zuckerberg in 2004, aged 19 and studying at Harvard University, Zuckerberg created "Facemash” to let users vote on which the two students were the more attractive. He then developed TheFacebook.com, aimed only at US colleges; new colleges were only added once a certain level of demand was reached. That became Facebook, which opened to the wider world, went public in 2012 and is worth about $14bn)” (Arthur, C, (n.d).
The costs for creating an app are high and may not be received back by the business if the app is not successful.

This model is heavily dependent on the newer generation of users flooding the pockets of mobile game publishers like King and Zynga.

There are 47.25 million unique U.S. visitors to the Facebook app on iOS, 72.25 million unique visitors to the Google Play app on Android, and an average of 230 minutes spent monthly on Facebook users in the U.S. There is also multiple graphs about what kind of revenue these mobile apps make that is astounding to me. One graph shows the percentage of revenue from the actual payment of the app. In 2011 85.6% of the total revenue was from the payment of the app itself, 82.8% in 2012, 75.9% in 2013, 69.5% in 2014, 59.5% in 2015, 47.5% projected in 2016, and 37.8% projected in 2017. This shows that as the years go on, these apps will be making more and more money from the advertisements and in-game purchases. Another graph shows the worldwide mobile app revenue. In 2011, the worldwide revenue was 8.32 billion, 18.56 billion in 2012, 26.68 billion in 2013, 34.99 billion in 2014, 45.37 billion in 2015, 58.21 billion in 2016, and 76.52 billion in 2017.
