Mobile application is a term used to describe Internet applications that run on smart phones and other mobile devices. It helps users by connecting them to Internet services more commonly accessed from desktop or notebook computers, or helps them to surf the Internet from portable devices.
A mobile app may be a mobile Web site bookmarking utility, a mobile-based instant messaging client, Gmail for mobile, and many other applications. These applications entertain, communicate and provide useful information - It can be a minute to minute weather forecasting message service, updates, scores and schedules of sporting events around the world or even trading and portfolio management of financial portfolios for individuals.
More importantly they provide a very powerful vehicle for brand communication.
Mobile Apps for Marketing
There are several specific reasons that mobile apps are especially well suited for advertising and marketing, but fundamentally it is because they can provide a richer and more compelling user experience.
For brands, mobile applications are a unique way to engage consumers and plunge them into a branded environment in which there will be more sensitivity to the brand messages.
A Wide Variety of Applications
Taking full advantage of these features has enabled brands and agencies to come up with applications that are very popular with specific customer segments. There are several ways that mobile apps are being used for advertising and marketing.
Some apps are "branded applications", where the application provides entertainment or a service, and also carries a brand message at the same time. A good example of this would be the "Get In There Tools" from Lynx, or the F1 mobile game from PUMA. Each of these provides entertainment to the consumer, but also includes branding.
"When consumers play a great F1 java game on their mobile, and they see ads around the track, they are receiving a brand message while having fun. This is extremely valuable!"
Think of it as a browser on the phone dedicated entirely to your company's brand. An application that resides in the phone with only one destination-- yours. Your content. Your interactive campaigns. Your customers connecting directly to you. Handset-resident applications provide a more elegant experience that, again, consumers use throughout the day. They might combine fresh streaming video and music with image galleries, life-style information, news, blogging, offers, and interactive features that survey consumers and help sell products-- such as coupons for merchandise
In some other cases, the application itself can be completely about the brand. For example, Chanel has released a mobile application that allows consumers to keep up to date with everything related to Chanel – the fashion shows, store openings, art exhibits, etc. It lets a consumer that is very interested in fashion build a strong attachment to the brand. As important interactive applications become "advertainment" for consumers, who form an affinity with the brand, consumers view their cell phones as an extension of themselves and these applications as part of their personal lifestyle.
Also, many mobile apps can be used even when there is not a data connection. This allows the consumer to interact with the brand in more places and at more times. A sponsored mobile game would be a good example of this kind of mobile app.

Relevance in today's market
Text-message marketing campaigns are a good first step in mobile marketing and -- due largely to their relative novelty -- produce much higher response rates than internet-based email campaigns. However, text-message campaigns carry limitations. They generally elicit a simple, one-time response from the consumer. As a result, the marketer is unable to re-engage with the consumer and advance the relationship
Mobile app development for your business is becoming a must if you want to have global presence as well as give your products and services that extra edge.
A consumer-brand company that offers a complete mobile application gains a continuous interactive relationship with the consumer. A direct connection to the consumer is attained each time he or she uses the application. Interactions with the consumer take place gracefully within the application, avoiding more cumbersome and limited text messaging.
Consumers can easily download an interactive application over the air to their cell phones or find the application already resident on their handsets. Handset-resident applications are well suited to reaching the over-30 demographic, since adults are less inclined to use or respond to text messaging than teens. In addition, interactive applications have website-like graphical user interfaces that adults are familiar and comfortable with.
Smart phones have immense potential to increase your business, as it's easy to use, handy and most importantly it has the mobility.
