If you have the budget it is advised to make the app available on all platforms including Iphone/Ipad, Android, Blackberry and Windows. After all you don't want your customers to miss out due to the phone they have. You can add something like a game, social media or something unique to your app to get people coming back. The possibilities are endless and mobile apps can start from £750 per platform depending on complexity and which agency you go to. Metapps Ltd is a very competitive agency.

Mobile apps can also be used in businesses internally. Many restaurants, banks and sales companies use Ipads with their app built specifically for their requirements. Whether it be used for inputting customer data, orders or stock taking for example, a mobile app can increase efficiency in your company.

Social media is another way your customers can interact, this can be included in your website or mobile app. Customer services is even more important in this day and age as it is so much easier to complain publicly via Facebook or Twitter. You will also have to be careful how to respond to customers often it is good to make a public response even to let the customer know that you will contact them directly so that other customers can see that you do take complaints seriously. Also if you get a FAQ (frequently asked question) and respond on social media it can cut down the amount of messages you need to respond to as they can see an answer.
