Needless to say, this realm is of course plagued with intense competition, and it often becomes a debatable topic whether it is monetarily worthwhile to invest in mobile apps for marketing, despite its various challenges. Here’s a quick look at them:-
Challenges in Mobile Apps Marketing
Choice between a site or an app
The biggest question while designing the mobile strategy is if you should go for an app or a mobile site to promote your business. Many players fail to take consumer behavior into consideration when implementing their strategy.
Delivery of mobile content
The content that is delivered through mobile apps or marketing should optimize the user experience. The biggest challenge is when the sites are not compatible with the screen size of the device that can mean loss of business.
Privacy concerns
The marketers using the mobile platform need to be extra sensitive towards the privacy of the users. They must seek permission before they involve the users in any promotional activity.
Tough Navigation of the content
The mobile screen has a small size with no external hardware like a mouse which means that the navigation can be a bit of a challenge. Some of the ads may not even be viewed because of the hassles involved in screening the content.
Myriad Benefits and Scope
