In a period of five years, ever since the launch of the Apple App Store, the popularity of mobile applications in business domains has increased phenomenally. Most businesses across the globe have already introduced the BYOD (bring your own device) concept by recognizing the value of mobile application technology. Today, it is these mobile apps that are being used as a marketing tool to spread word on the business brand. For many business units, mobile apps have become the best means of accessing the internet; emailing & subscribing to reference links are also concluded by the use of mobile applications installed in the mobile devices. To effectively use a mobile app for branding your business, potential clients have to be provided with the three essential qualities of creativity, functionality, and searchability from the applications.

Creativity
The design of the mobile app plays an important role in business branding. The look & feel of the app makes it appealing to customers and in this way attracts several users. The app icon must be visually appealing; it should also be easily identifiable as the company’s ...
... brand symbol. When the user base of the app increases, more customers will be interested to know about the intricacies of your business. Creativity in designing a mobile app is also necessary to create the ‘viral effect’. A viral application ensures the widespread exposure of features, thus directly leading to business branding.

Functionality
Offering a personalized internet experience is the main function of a mobile application. By using apps in mobile devices, one does not have to open web browsers and type in specific web addresses; access to any site of your choice can be obtained just at the click of one button. However, it is the level of a mobile app’s functionality, which sets it apart from the host of other applications available in the mobile market. To enhance business branding, a company must offer such services through mobile applications that will be of direct value to potential customers. For example, if you own a restaurant business, create an app that allows users to view the full menu and get exact information regarding the location and working hours of your restaurant chain. Use interactive mobile applications that will ensure the dissemination of key information regarding your business, thus generating brand value.

Searchability
While creativity & functionality are the two most essential components of a mobile app to boost business brand value, they will be of no use if searchability of the app is not ensured. There are millions of mobile apps available in the market today, therefore making your app stand out among the rest is difficult, but is a step towards generating business brand value. For this, reserving of a name for a mobile application is essential. If the name is not reserved soon, overly specific titles that do not highlight the business may have to be chosen. A relevant name that describes the business type will help promote your business brand & ensure popularity.

Keep in mind the above three factors if you are deploying mobile applications for business branding. Though immediate earnings are not ensured, a business brand value will definitely be generated.
