It's not enough to get an app developed, get your customers to download it, and then let it sit on their phones untouched.
What a complete waste of your time and theirs.
Yet, that's what I see a lot of companies doing - as if the mere act of having an app is enough to take care of all your mobile marketing.

Here are a few quick ideas:
- Build customer loyalty. Everyone likes to feel included in something special, so make customers feel like VIPs by offering discounts, coupons, and promotions just for using the app.
- Create viral buzz. Encourage customers to use the mobile app to quickly tell all of their friends about the business using the built-in sharing capabilities of Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, your blog, SMS, and Email.
- Grow customer lists. A mobile app can gather names and email addresses from directly within the app and easily export them into the top email marketing campaign services to be used in additional emails.
- Get instant feedback. Mobile apps allow customers to leave feedback on fan walls, share photos, make restaurant reservations, and send comments in a variety of ways.
