An average person spends 174 minutes on mobile devices every day. 60% percent of millennials buy products on their smartphones. Based on a research done by Morgan Stanley, 91% of adults have their mobile phone within arms reach 24/7.

Whether you are a florist, a retail store or a fish monger, your customers still need to reach you. Gone are the days of traditional advertising where you open shop, put an ad in the newspaper and wait for customers to come to you. People are transacting on mobile phones more than ever. Small businesses should have their own mobile app to grow their business. By 2017 mobile search will generate 27.8 billion more queries than desktop search. If you are a small or a medium company, group or an organisation and don’t have your own mobile application, imagine what you are losing out on?
