Small Business Trends: Mobile Apps For SMBs – All Business
Lisa Barone’s mobile apps that SMBs should care about include some for social media marketing, such as Bump, and others that can help improve productivity such as Docs To Go and Shoeboxed, an expense tracking app.
“While seated at Albany’s 5th Annual Small Business Day this week, I had a chance to hear from a Verizon Wireless representative from my area. He was there to talk to business owners about the opportunities that lie in the area of mobile applications. He let us know that 52 percent of the phones he sold last week were smartphones – Web-enabled phones that customers are using to access information on the go. And that number is only going to grow, especially as Google continues to become further and further entrenched in the space.
When it comes to mobile applications, not all apps are created equal. But for every iBeer and PhoneSaber, there’s a business-focused application that can help you engage, build your brand and even help you make smarter business decisions. Below you’ll find a handful of mobile apps that provide big SMB benefits.”
