Why Your Business Needs a Mobile Shopping App in 2022

Mobile apps have become a dominant trend among today’s digital-first generation, yet many business owners still underestimate their power to drive sales and deepen customer relationships. 

Social networking and shopping apps are no longer just add-ons—they’re essential tools in the new era of commerce.

Do You Really Need a Mobile App for Your Online Store?

For some, the idea of running an online business entirely from a mobile app still sounds far-fetched. But mobile is no longer a secondary channel—it’s the primary screen for consumers.

According to recent surveys, 92% of internet users spend more than four hours per day on their smartphones. 

Even more telling, mobile users spend 92% of that time within mobile apps, not on web browsers.

What Does This Mean for Your Business?

Mobile apps have become the leading path to product discovery and purchases. However, building your own app can be expensive and complicated. 

That’s exactly why Shopping App was created—a free, code-free channel that helps EasyStore merchants secure valuable space on their customers’ smartphones.

Why Use a Mobile App for Your Store?

Here are key benefits you should know:

1. Increase Customer Stickiness

Customers shop both online and offline, but they always carry their smartphones. A mobile app makes your store more accessible and keeps it top of mind.

2. No Coding Required

Developing an app is complex and time-consuming. 

With Shopping App, EasyStore handles everything—from development to maintenance—so you can focus on selling.

3. Better Shopping Experience

Your customers can browse your product catalog quickly, and check out with saved details—no need to re-enter information every time.

4. Stay Ahead of Competitors

Most small businesses still don’t offer mobile shopping apps. This gives you a unique chance to stand out and provide a better shopping experience.

5. Boost Repeat Purchases

The easier it is for customers to access your store, the more likely they are to return. With your store in their pocket, your brand stays closer than ever.
