Who knew that a mobile app would make such a difference in any business at all? It's not like a phone number was ever losing popularity. You get your phone, you dial, boom. You're in. For countless years that's how businesses did business. Contact information. And no one ever thought business would get any more efficient when dealing with a mobile app, right?

After All, the Mobile App Back in 2007 Was Nothing More Than a Novelty

Believe it or not, even Apple never intended the "mobile app" to be nothing more than a way for them to boast their pre-installed games. Sure, you can press the app button, and it launches right away. But the convenience at best was minimal, albeit eternal in its making and so reliable that we don't even realize we need those apps on our phones sometimes...

(Ask yourself how many times you've wanted to organize your screen with the apps you love. Don't deny it.)

The real crazy thing is that those mobile apps somehow managed to evolve so quickly into something more than just a way to access our phone features. Believe it or not, but apps have been the corporate wave of the future, and no one saw it coming. Why?

Because There Have Some Businesses Out There Built Literally From the Ground Up—Based on a Mobile App

Impressive. A bit shocking as well when you really think about it. Those certain businesses we're going to talk about not only harnessed the mobile app, but built their entire value around it. The funny thing is we don't realize just how phenomenal that is because we use these apps all the time. Sometimes without thinking about it.

That's writing on the wall: you can imagine other businesses trying to find a way to leverage the power of mobile technology as a way to rejuvenate their revenue and profit, perhaps tackle a sector of their market that's been untouched. It's not easy—but very possible to do, in any market, with a little bit of creativity, ambition, and just a little bit of risk.

These three businesses right here are the reasons why mobile apps are, and will continue to be, the wave of the future. Sure, we've got all those mobile games out there, and social media mobile apps are still always going to be huge. But from a corporate standpoint, when businesses trying to serve customers beyond that of a website or brick-and-mortar building target via a mobile app, one thing's for sure—success is right around the corner.

Uber—This one's obvious for, well, obvious reasons, but let's just see the comparison with the original standard, shall we?

ASOS—Not as well known, but revolutionary from a mobile app standpoint, and here's why.

Domino's—Yep, the pizza place. This one's a true Cinderella story for good reason. Check it out.

And that's just three businesses. There are more out there. These are the most notable in the market leveraging that mobile app tech to true form. Click the links and it will make sense. This isn't just a gateway to the website or even contact info. The mobile app allows any business to do so much more.

If You Run a Business, and You're Trying to Figure Out How to Provide Even More Value Via Mobile....

You simply need to look at your competition and your market as a whole and ask yourself that important question: what do your customers really want from you?

  1. Faster Service
  2. Questions Answered
  3. Payment Convenience
  4. Better Reviews

What have you—it's all up to you. Or it could be all of the above. The amazing thing is the mobile app can accomplish all of this with just a couple button clicks.

Trust us—that's definitely worth money to you.
