Mobile App for Plumbers
Plumbers are mobile friendly. Research shows that 94% of Adults own/use a Mobile Phone in the UK. And they aren’t just using their Smartphones for texting or watching YouTube videos or Facebook. 95% of users have searched for local businesses and services and the majority act on the information that they find with an hour. When they are searching for Plumbers and Emergency repairs on their Smartphone what will they think of your company? Is your company unique and have a mobile App to call you directly?
Let’s start with the basics. What is mobile app? Mobile app is a small piece of software that is installed on your mobile phone; crucially in a format that is legible, readable, functional and approachable. That means you can scroll through it easily using your thumb, you can read the text without pinching and zooming and you can ring by clicking a button on the homepage. Plus as an added bonus you can send pop up messages to the customer with special offers or messages.
A mobile app will do at least one of 3 things:
-
Sell – fitted bathrooms, kitchens ….
-
Capture enquiries details – so you can respond to them and promote to them on an ongoing basis
- Get them to contact you – get your phone ringing, your inbox pinging with enquires and customers walking through your plumbing shop door. And it’s a key channel for social media communication if you use that too!
The top three pieces of information that consumers expect to see on a mobile app according to Google are:
-
Directions
-
Opening hours (this includes the times when your phones are answered)
-
A telephone number – so they can call and details of the products that you sell.
