As more and more small businesses lose market share to larger brands with more sophisticated digital platforms and infrastructures, experts are recommending that small businesses foray into the world of mobile apps. More than just the ‘next step’ in digital marketing, mobile apps have become a solution to the dynamic and evolving needs of small businesses in a mobile world.

We know that YOU want to be at the forefront of technology that helps your business grow — but you also probably have concerns such as how much an app costs and how you can build one if you don’t have technical experience. Luckily we’ve found a solution — the Como app maker.

Let’s take a look at how Como helps build a business app in four simple steps.

Why Your Small Business Needs an App

The technology tides turn quickly and while great importance is placed on having a responsive website that caters to mobile users, experts are recommending that businesses go a step further and create their own mobile app. Creating an app for your small business can reap many benefits, including:

Building brand awareness.
Growing customer loyalty with built in digital loyalty programs.
Increasing revenue with coupons and a mobile store.
Creating an additional mobile marketing channel that creates a closer connection to customers.
Standing out over your competition who haven’t embraced the technology.

Why Como

Como is the world’s leading mobile app maker solution, powering more than one million small business apps around the world — with 4,500 new apps created every day. Their app maker platform allows anyone, regardless of technology skill level, to create a customized, professional app for their business. With their platform you can build an app completely from scratch or use one of the pre-created templates then customize it for your business.

The best part is that the Como platform is so simple, you can get started in just seconds.

Creating an App with Como in 4 Easy Steps

One of the reasons that Como is such a popular and effective choice for those looking to build an app, is the ease of their platform and how simple they’ve made the app creation process. You can literally build an app in four simple steps.

First, choose a “Name” for your app.

Second, you’ll be asked to connect to either your Facebook account or a Facebook business page. If you connect to your Facebook account during this step, your app is created right away.

If you choose to not connect to Facebook, you’ll be prompted to choose the type of app you are creating.
