5 reasons to have a shopping app

According to Criteo, 70% of clients prefer the shopping apps experience. Once a user has built a certain level of engagement with a brand through their site, they will switch to their mobile app for the actual shopping. Compared to the shopping experience on a mobile browser, shopping apps offer more convenience, speed and stored settings. Indeed, no need to remember a URL or to login every time.  
Speed is a crucial element too. Apps are generally 1.5 times faster than mobile sites as they don’t need to fetch data from web servers. 

With GoodBarber Shopping App Auto-login feature, your clients only need to login once and are always recognised when they come back to your app. They can easily resume their shopping where they left off without having to go through the tenuous task of entering their details again. 
 

Shopping Apps help drive repeat usage and build loyalty. According to Statista, 32 % of users returned to an application 11 times and more.
Marketing tools using the phone built-in features offer the opportunity of a more personalized message (push notifications, geolocations, sharing features).
Push notifications are a proven way to engage your clients and bring them back to your app: they have 50% more open rate than emails and a 40% click-through rate.
With GoodBarber push notifications you can communicate directly with your clients and offer better deals not available on other channels. When your clients click on the notification they will be sent back exactly to the correct page and will be able to easily resume their shopping. 

 You’re also starting with the advantage that clients who decide to download your mobile app initially show a higher level of investment in your brand. The simple fact that the icon of your shop is already on their phone will make them more inclined to shop in your boutique. 
According to Criteo, mobile app users are twice as likely to return to your shop within 30 days compared to shoppers who access your website in a mobile browser.

The quality of the user experience offered by a mobile application is one of the main reasons you should build a shopping app for your business. They offer a better shopping experience with an improved UI and added functionality using the native functions of the devices. They allow you to create a more personalized online experience simplifying your clients decision making.
