Study what takes them in for using the app and what takes them out and then indulge with the actual process.

1. Facebook

The majority of the business and organizations have turned their ways here. Organizations have mobile apps for internal communications also that's referred as enterprise apps. Clients' inquiries and issues can be promptly given the response with messaging apps.

3.Yelp

What you need while you travel? Navigation to your destination, coffee to keep you awake and fresh, food to keep you energized, trendy place to shop, gym to not miss your fitness schedule, luxurious or budgeted places to spend your night at, bunch of popular places to explore, local activities to try, salon to maintain yourself and make you look beautiful in your photos. Well, different apps for all these different activities, too much space blockage in the phone, right? Well, what if a single app can do all these work? Yelp is the thing you are looking for and when you indulge in formulating your mobile marketing strategy, consider creating a multi-purpose app.
