A few years ago entrepreneurs used tons of advertisements, flyers, brochures and catalogs to increase their sales. Nowadays you do not need any of those. With the proliferation of smartphones around the world, one mobile application has become equivalent to a newspaper, brochure, catalogue, cash register and even a sales person. We don’t have to stop there because the list can go on and on.
So, how do you increase sales with the help of a mobile app?
Ways mobile apps increase sales
1. Selling faster
The greatest ideas are usually the simplest ones. Find what you need – one click. Don’t know what to choose? Another click allows you to get help and advice quickly. Then just click to make an order and pay. What can be more convenient for your customer? Three clicks, your product is sold and your customer is happy.
Is it real? Take a look at this screenshot of the Bonshine app that we developed.
The user-friendly design makes the ordering procedure transparent and effortless.
“The company has reached thousands of cleanings a month. We have dozens of business customers and thousands of private customers.”

2. Keeping your clients informed
