Here’s why you should consider building a mobile app for your store.

  1. Mobile Apps are investments that give you great returns

A lot business owners are hesitant to build a mobile app for their store. This is because they assume that maintaing a mobile app might be expensive and difficult. That’s why we developed the J2Store mobile app builder. This helps you create a mobile store your Joomla ecommerce store within minutes. Upload your products and payment options and sell right away.

Mobile apps bring the customer closer to you. You can keep customers notified of new updates regarding their order, new promotional offers and other store events they’ll be interested in. Customers can be up-to-date with your store’s news from anywhere.

They can save products they want to view or buy for later and even buy products impulsively with the easy payment and checkout options.

3) Add more value to customers

A lot of big time ecommerce stores employ this strategy. They encourage users to download the app and get a discount on their purhcases. This nudges users towards using the mobile app. You can also introduce a reward system where users who shop on their mobiles get loyalty points they can redeem.

This becomes an incentive for user to download the app and purchase more.
