Mobile Apps for Small Businesses

February 2, 2017 by Ray

Delaware mobile apps Bring your customers back for repeat business!
Mobile Apps offer small businesses an inexpensive tool to compete with larger competitors and national chains. For a small, fixed monthly marketing budget item, you’ll see results and your customers will feel more connected to you.

Download Attraction LLC App
I created an app that I use to demonstrate most of the available 20+ features that can be included for as little as $59/month plus the affordable one-time set-up cost. On your smartphone, download Attraction app or call me to set up a time for a live demo. You’ll score your first reward in my loyalty program, just for downloading it. That’s a great sample of how you can entice your own customers to see the value in downloading your app. But you’ll need to publicize it by having a page similar to mine on your website, along with prominent links on Home page or all pages to download your app. I create that page for my clients, along with a poster that they can display in their storefront window, at their front desk, handed out directly, or even emailed. Some examples of what you’d highlight:

Restaurants & pizza shops can offer online food ordering or reservations.
Salons & fitness centers can allow appointment scheduling and display photo gallery.
Non-profits and associations can list events and make donations easy.
Real Estate Agents can offer one tap access to property listings and send timely push notifications.
Bars & Clubs & Coffee Shops can offer Loyalty coupon programs & event schedules.
DJ’s and entertainers can show lists of events, newsletter opt-ins & photo galleries.

small business mobile apps Each feature has a number of options. For example, a pizza shop can include delivery, pick up or dine in or any combination of those. They can accept credit card payment via the app, accept cash, or either one. Either a custom ordering system or an existing third party platform such as grubHub, olo, yelpEat24 or iMenu360. A custom delivery radius can be set up around your location so that people out of your area will only have pick-up option. Delivery charges, optional tips and other conveniences are included to make it easy for people to place orders. Once they’ve ordered once, the likelihood of repeat business increases dramatically.

More Repeat Business, More Referrals

Show your customers all of the features and tell them to watch for app-only specials! Send periodic push notifications with value, such as discounted meals or services or menu items. The loyalty rewards feature allows several different promotions to run simultaneously so there is something for everyone. For example, a pizza shop could give rewards per slice of pizza or per pizza or both.

The “open-rate” for push notifications is astronomical compared to that of regular email messages or newsletters. You can even target different geographical areas or pre-schedule them to send at a later day or time.

Posters & Wall Art Website Re-Designed

January 11, 2016 by Ray

Posters, graphics and wall art are a popular item to purchase online, either for personal or business purposes. I re-designed a website I originally built 8 years ago to sell posters and prints online through my affiliate relationship with AllPosters.com, the world’s largest poster store.

My new website is mobile-responsive and is a great example of how anyone can monetize a personal blog or website, or add an income stream to an existing commercial site by placing text ads or banner ads to items that are related to the main theme of your site. Visit http://PostersandWallArt.com to see how I optimized it with my own keywords so that I had a chance of ranking in Google search results. Buy a Wilmington DE motivational poster or a cute kittens poster or funny poster while you’re there!

Contact me anytime if you’d like to brainstorm how to incorporate affiliate advertising or other income streams into your own business model. Of course, it’s easier to add these types of links to personal sites where you’re not as concerned with distracting your visitors from the main goal of buying your products or services. For example, the first website I ever built (shortly after Al Gore invented the internet) was my http://WorldofBeerBottles.com. That’s where I first gained experience with adding affiliate advertising banners for beer posters, “Beer of the Month Clubs”, beer themed books and even unrelated items such as flowers and travel.

Speaking of that, I’ll soon update Travel USA & World, which I specifically built as a shopping mall of major travel providers such as Travelocity, Priceline, Hotwire.com, Hotels.com, car rentals, online airline tickets, and other travel links. To improve SEO and to make it visitor-friendly, I include valuable information such as travel tips and other useful information for travelers. Wilmington DE travel! There are even articles submitted to me by other websites who were happy to provide me with business & pleasure travel ideas in exchange for links to their own websites.

Remember, you can’t just borrow some text and images and put up a junky site. You neet to treat it as a business and put effort into quality content and search engine optimization including title tags, meta description, image alt tags, submitting to search engines and all of the other little jobs I include when building a website for a customer in Wilmington, Delaware or anywhere else in the USA. Adding travel posters helps me cross-market!

If you have a special interest or hobby to write about, let me help you share it with the world and you may be able to work in some affiliate links to websites to earn some revenue!
