It Allows You To Show And Not Tell

Too many businesses flounder simply because they tell of how great they are and how great all the work that they do is, but they show no evidence to back these words up. They flounder and fail because without showing this evidence, how can they be trusted? 

How can a customer trust them enough to bring them their custom? How can a customer trust them enough to ask them to do a good job for them? How can a customer trust them enough to do a job worthy of payment? The answer to those questions is that they can’t, and it is for this reason why customers are always going to be tentative to bring their custom to a business that only ever tells and never shows.

But, you can avoid being one of these businesses by embracing mobile technology; once such area of mobile tech that you should embrace in order to show and not tell is that which allows for the easy recording of videos, and then the easy uploading of these videos to suitable platforms. 

For instance, by embracing the Samsung Gear 360 camera you would be able to record a 360-degree video that is both memorable and shows your business off in every angle, light and shade possible. What this would mean, once this video was in fact uploaded to a customer-reaching platform such as your social media sites or your business website, is that your customers would always have the chance to see what your business does rather than only hear about it.

It Allows You To Stay In Their Pockets Long After They Leave

A customer is not just a customer when you are doing work for them, a customer is a customer for life. The sooner you realise, get to grips with and embrace this, the better. What’s more, the sooner you start to make actual strides forward in trying to retain a customer or lure them back to your business at a later date once they are gone, the better your business will ultimately be and become. And, you can do this by embracing mobile technology.

You can do this by embracing mobile technology, specifically by interacting with your customers via this technology, because you will give your business the best chance possible of staying in the pockets of your customers long after they leave your business behind, simply because their phones will always be in their pockets. 

This could mean emailing them, direct messaging them on their social media sites or even text messaging them — the point is, by staying in the pockets of your customers you stay in their point of view. And, as long as you are in their point of view you stand yourself in good stead of seeing them return to your business one day with more custom. 

So, make sure you are doing it! And, if you want to take this even further than sending a few messages out to your customers’ phones every now and again, why don’t you seek to develop an iOS app for your business? By doing so you will provide your customers with something to remember your business by on their phones that is memorable, fun and different, and these three factors are massive when it comes to trying to induce more custom from a customer.

It Allows You To Get Rid Of Paperwork

Thanks to mobile technology, and the world in general, let alone the world of business, is slowly but surely getting rid of all that annoying paperwork that just seems to pile up and get in the way. Yes, these days there is no need for copious amounts of paper to be drowning your desk. There is no need for mountains of paper to make your office look unprofessional should a client walk in there.
