2.    Outpace Competitors – All of your competitors may have web sites, but how many have mobile apps or mobile sites?  Leading companies are moving fast to be the first to market with an iPhone app in their industry. For example, CIBC created the first iPhone banking app in Canada and promoted this in TV Ads (YouTube) and as a key benefit to their larger SWITCH campaign (Yahoo! Finance).

3.    Go Social – If you’re aiming to build buzz and transform your customer base into a community, consider the social networking opportunity of a mobile app.  What if your customers could share their recommendations, tips, or stories with other users and friends over Facebook, Twitter, or email?

4.    Measure Results – Mobile apps are a great means of collecting data from your customers, especially if your products are typically sold through indirect channels.  Capture key metrics on application usage, user reviews, and surveys to better understand your customers, and track conversion through e-commerce transactions or mobile coupons.
