The world has moved to smart phones. Over 2 billion smart phones heart our lives. Consumers are accessing the Internet on these devices. Android and iOS are the largest platforms with over 5 million apps between them. Seems like a good number, only till you realise that there are over 1 billion websites as of 2014! Making the apps / website ratio less than 0.5%.

Creating an App is Tough

Creating an app is way more complicated than websites.

  • It’s expensive
  • Time consuming
  • Complicated
  • Consumer download issues
  • Regular maintenance

Most businesses want to create an app but these issues stare them in the face. Many large brands have created their own app only to realise that they have to spend millions to bribe customers to download their app. Even after that, consumers uninstall their app at the blink of an eye. Downloading an app is a lot more commitment than visiting a website. Unless the usage for your service — and therefore your app — is high, you won’t stay on the consumer’s phone for long.

How about a Mini App?

Imagine if I told you that you can get something that’s better than an app and:

  • Is 1/1000th the cost
  • Takes just 5 minutes
  • And has 10+ stunning features

Wouldn’t you be interested? Well, 1000s of businesses are now creating a Mini App and aren’t facing the issues they would’ve faced had their created an app of their own.

Create a Mini App. They are the Future.

Mini Apps are ready-made business apps. They are power-packed with some of the best functionality any business would want in their own app:

  • Product / Service upload
  • Price List
  • Chat with Customers
  • Online Payment Gateway
  • Reward Points
  • Real-time Analytics
  • Offers Module
  • Other Ready-made Modules

Mini Apps are the future of apps because they are hassle-free and a business doesn’t need to spend a 1 year to create their app. Goodbox enables businesses to create their Mini App within 5 minutes.

App Download Issues from Customers

One of the biggest issues is getting consumers to download your app. Customers usually prefer downloading apps that help them achieve more with less because of limited storage on their phone. They generally uninstall once they’re done with the utility of an app.

To solve this, we created the Goodbox Mega App. All the Mini Apps of 1000s of businesses are within this one Mega App. Consumers are happy using this because they can access Mini Apps of multiple businesses through one app. This makes it easier for them to use your Mini App as well.

Having a Mini App on the Goodbox Mega App is like having a shop in the mall. Not only can you invite your own customer, but also gain from consumers visiting other shops in the mall. Similarly, every other business invites their own customers to use their Mini App on the Goodbox Mega App. Your business can gain from these customers as well. It’s somewhat similar to Facebook Pages making it easier for businesses to create a website without having to make one. And instead of these being stand-alone pages, they are all accessible from within Facebook. Creating a Mini App on the Goodbox Mega App is somewhat similar to that.

No Commission on Goodbox

Goodbox is a commission-free platform.

You are just charged a fixed fee to create your Mini App inside Goodbox. If you accept online payments, a bank payment gateway fee is charged (rates are similar to that of a swipe machine). Unlike aggregator platforms that suck you dry with heavy commissions, you can feel free to invite as many of your customers and do as many transactions on your Mini App without worrying about paying exorbitant fees.

1000s of Businesses Create an App every Month

1000s of businesses create a mini app every month. It’s very easy to invite your customers from your Mini App. All sorts of sharing features are available to inform your friends, family and customers about your Mini App and to get them to buy from you directly.
