MAYNARD, MA — (Marketwired) — 07/15/13 — An increasing number of companies are using advanced new mobile apps to ensure their sales teams are engaging customers and prospects and measuring the effectiveness of marketing materials, according to , a leading provider of interactive 3D product marketing applications. This is a significant shift from the use of static collateral, presentations and website content that is simply viewed on mobile devices.
With mobile marketing on the rise, businesses are turning to mobile apps to drive customer engagement and increase customer loyalty. Investments in tablet technology and mobile apps are among the top priorities for digital marketers in 2013 and a new breed of mobile sales enablement apps are emerging that are intended to change the way B2B companies interact with, and show products to customers. However, as companies start to roll out new apps, many of their sales teams are “downloading and disengaging.” Research shows that 25% of business apps are deleted after their first use, and there is a significant drop-off in usage over the first 90 days after a mobile app is installed — on average, only 35% of users are still active.
“Mobile marketing apps have the potential to radically improve sales effectiveness and marketing efficiency if they are done right and leverage the interactivity that a mobile device offers to customers,” says Gavin Finn, Kaon Interactive-s president and CEO “In this competitive marketplace, organizations must provide personalized, engaging apps that deliver a smarter mobile experience, resulting in the relevant transfer of knowledge and enthusiasm for a company-s products to the customer.”
