How can funding help beauty apps – Booker sets an example!

 

With app development processes taking center stage, a number of applications are being developed. Be it shopping for clothes, shoes, groceries or other services; everything can be taken care of with the help of an app!

The present times are witnessing an increase in the numbers of beauty salons, with a huge clientele. This has further given an impetus to the app development industry – beauty and grooming apps in particular. The beauty and salon industry is doing great and is expected to grow to 87 billion US dollars in 2023 from 69 billion US dollars from 2016.

It is of utmost importance to survive the cut-throat competition and make services unique. Therefore, salons have considered the digital way and it has proved highly beneficial for them! 

The digital marketing techniques are helping all kinds of businesses aim for a notch higher and reach notches higher. So, without further delay, let us discuss beauty salon apps and their fundamentals.

Let’s get started already!

The importance of beauty and grooming apps

  • They help manage customers list on one screen

By opting for such a platform, grooming businesses can easily manage and maintain a record of their customers – wait for it – on ONE screen!

  • They help in reminding customers through notifications

Customers love an app and shower it with their love too. But everyone’s schedule is super packed in present times. Therefore, they need to be reminded of their favourite applications, right! 

Push notifications automatically send reminders to customers. This not only works to keep the users updated but also aids an impressive notification system. In addition, to better target the customers, geofencing technology can also be used.

Essential updates and information, this way, can be shared with customers regularly. The salon business can thus ensure continuous revenue flow!

  • They are time-saving!

Of course, they are! The essentials of an entire business, from booking, calls, sessions, grooming, etc. – all fit in one small tool. Therefore, it is bound to save time for both the business owners and the clients! 

Such applications offer real-time information and also enable their clients to schedule appointments as and when they like. The long queue for waiting, is a bygone tale now!

  • Increasing brand reputation becomes easy

Applications work as wonderful representatives for any business! The brand starts getting recognised by a greater number of people as an application increases the reach – it isn’t territorially confined to a particular area. So, steadily, the brand image improves and gets stronger with time. 

Therefore, an app is a must-have ingredient for a successful business recipe!

What happened with Bookr – a Kuwaiti beauty application?

Bookr is a Kuwait-based platform that helps users to find and book spas, beauty salons, freelance make-up artists, etc., that are nearby. It also offers all beauty service providers an all-in-one SaaS solution as it facilitates the management of the inventory, financial data and clients’ appointments.

Zaina Al Bader founded it in 2018. It is a beauty-focused venture and positions itself as a mediator between salon services providers and clients.

Bookr targets the rapidly growing beautification market globally. The salon industry is growing at a CAGR of 9.4% in the Mena region and Bookr aims to bank on this! 

Recently, because of its promising future, this platform managed to raise a whopping $1 million in a seed funding round by Desert Ventures.

HOW TO AVOID HIRING A ROOKIE FOR YOUR APP DEVELOPMENT PROCESS



An app making justice with the millions of mobile apps in the app market pool needs something extra to bear the competition pain. If you need an app which translates your business requirement in a way to carve out a successful path for your revenue generation ahead, then you need to secure a one extra step that could define the app development a deserving journey for your business domain. Undeniably the journey initiates and continues to bring more good for your business, through the hands of an app development company majorly, which you choose for developing the mobile app fitting the goal of your business requirements.

It’s always better to lay down the strong foundation for your app development, in order to avoid the horror of app failure from any corner of the world. It’s nothing uncommon to hear the stories of unsuccessful mobile apps failing to mark their presence felt in the app store, due to the wrong choice of app developer. I concur with you that to get a right app development partner for your app development process is a risky and challenging task, but not impossible at all. When you plan to initiate with your app development process, little you know, that what all intricacies are involved in the selection process, so today we have accumulated and scribbled the do’s and don’ts of hiring a top mobile app development company for your app requirements and not the naïve in the app development field.

Red Flag #1

Experience Counts

The way the quality of fabric counts, when it comes to buying your desired clothing piece, in the same way for any mobile app developer their experience in developing mobile apps counts. If you feel that any Tom, Dick and Harry from the corner of your street or from the ocean’s distance, would justify your app requirement with their experience bucket, then no you are wrong, because distance factor does not help anybody to portray their experience in any ways, but what matters most is to know that how your app development company would handle your app requirements and combine it with your end-users need. Work with the app development company which holds rich experience of catering to various industries, this will help you to try the various features suiting your app requirement and fitting their experience window. 

Red Flag #2

Let The Cost Decide Your App Fate

We all love to play frugal, at least at the places, which are under our control, but at certain place we should always let the cost factor, take the back seat and let the quality and experience act as the key drivers. Pricing is the most sensitive and discussed topic in the app development process, where a quite many of the business owners pick their future development partner, on the basis of their cost arrangement system, which is not so ideal..Wonder…lemme grab an example for you… app development process works on technology and any company giving you a fixed rate of app development can never be accurate, since the pricing may vary and can go up or come to average line, on the basis of integration of different app technologies. If you are looking for a successful mobile app for your business, then not let only the cost factor do the talking, but consider other aspects, which would make your app a rocking app in the app world. 

An app development company can give you a rough order of magnitude about the cost, if it fits your budget, then proceed else you can eliminate the not-so-required features in the first development phase, to make it worth and fitting your business requirement, but solely picking a mobile app development company on the basis of the cost factor, is not a smart choice, which would only bring more harm than any good for your business. 

Red Flag #3

Lack of Exposure

Even though the mobile app development company has developed considerable mobile apps, yet look out for the variety of exposure it has gained in the different industry category and which variety of features and functionalities have been integrated in the app development process. The calculation is very simple here, do not hire an app development company for your restaurant business, who has never catered to food and beverage industry, because they will have limited exposure and thought process in offering the services to your app requirement and there would be a risk of your app lacking in the design (UX), which would lead to destructive app quality and presentation to your end users, affecting directly on your business goals. 

Red Flag #4

App Developer Directly Jumping Into Coding

Many business owners would feel blessed, if they ever get to hear from their prospective app development company, that they would initiate the coding right from the start and believe that they are tech-freaks, who can visualize the coding just after looking at your app requirement. If you ever get to hear this from any app developer then run for the life of your business and its reputation, since any app cannot begin directly with the coding, but needs a proper channel of requirement analysis of your target audience, before commencing with the app coding, else the coding no matter how good it has been done, but would be proven futile. Opt for the app development company which gives a systematic approach to your app development process.

With a myriad of mobile apps existing in the app market, the mobile app development industry has become much wider and diverse, so as a commoner, it’s hard for you to do justice with app development company selection, while hiring a perfect match for your requirement, go ahead with the above mentioned flags and save yourself from the app disaster for your business. Just to narrow down your search filter, I would like to mention a top mobile app development company – Techugo, which has strong experience channel of developing mobile apps for different industry verticals efficiently. Techugo team is full of experienced app designers, who have the rich experience of catering to the world’s top class brands and has helped the numerous startups to achieve their deserving recognition through the mobile apps crafted specifically for them.

PITFALLS OF MOBILE APP DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

Mobile App Development Process
Mobile app, this word strikes a balance of technology and innovation within us, but this balance can bring disaster if not followed appropriately. As a user, before downloading a mobile app, we go for thousand more other ways to satisfy our pool of requirements and check the feedback/reviews, star ratings before downloading. Undeniably, the app stores are flooded with different mobile apps, and you name a service and an app related to it, is available on the app store, but there has been a bigger number of mobile apps available, which are not even downloaded for a long time, although the app developers had put efforts on those apps and also the reason for which those apps were developed were never met. The crux of the talk is, if mobile app development process is not picked carefully, then your mobile app can never see the sunshine of the success. I don’t mean to scare you; rather I meant to get yourself prepared. Prepared for the betterment of your mobile app future and survival, many a times an app is developed and get extinct without being noticed by anyone in the app market. There are certain methods, if followed religiously can turn the game in your favor.
App Platform Selection
Every app developer needs to understand one common app platform can never fit the need of every user. Only by considering that Android would work for the mobile app requirement, then let’s get the confusion clear, that users of every app platform exit in the market, so you need to develop your mobile app on more than one platform, depending on your targeted audience demand. So research and check which mobile app platforms are mostly used by your audience, accordingly pick the suitable options, don’t make your decision on the basis of your last client’s choice or your choice, because every business has its own set of requirements.
App Needs To Meet The Demand of Customers
We agree, its way too hard than thought of, to keep the users hooked to your mobile app. If users don’t get what they want, even though your mobile has the best UI/UX, your users will never be attracted to your mobile app. The formula is simple, when you walk in the market and you don’t get what you want, and then rest of the stuff, even of the superior quality would never catch the glimpse of your eyes. Every user downloads an app for a reason behind, if that expectation does not come across after the downloads, so it is very much obvious that your app would be uninstalled and would get a bad word from your users. The app functionalities/ features must be made only after sifting down their demand and proper planning channel should be created to meet that demand in the most constructive way of mobile app.
A Well-Planned Version is Required
I will share my personal example, my 8 year old niece downloaded a cooking game, but the app had no proper way to showcase the information, the menu buttons were hidden inside the guide section, for sound settings, the game had to be re-started and many more other problems. Once she complained this to me, I found the game app functionalities very tricky for 8 years old, so I deleted the game instantly and downloaded the other options available in the app store. The same can happen with your mobile app as well, if users will find no systematic approach within the app and would quit the usage of your mobile app. Remember, users have a huge demand, they want the mobile app to serve their purpose and should have a seamless interface, where they don’t need a help of a third person who can decode the usage efficiently. Ensure that your app offers the information easiest way.
Don’t Overload
Many app developers flaunt their unbaked knowledge and integrate millions of different features within one mobile app only, which force them to neglect the required concentration on selected and few features. What they fail to understand that unless the app has a clean look and have less features, it can never be successful. Other features need to be introduced to your mobile app gradually with the app updates. Just for an illustration, WhatsApp on its launch had minimum features, which helped the users to get accustomed to its usage and existing functionalities, later stages WhatsApp received many other features, on the basis of users demand and expectation, had they launched all the features with the first version of the mobile app, then the app would never have gained such a huge chunk of user base which is increasing at every second. Do not implement the unnecessary features in the first go, rather study your user’s usage and demand and accordingly make the feature integration in the upcoming app upgrade.
App Icon
The app icon is your brand image management tool, users see your app icon on their phone screens and it works on their psychology to remember you as a brand every time they click on your app icon. Your app icon should be created precisely to create a global identity for you, do not pick the design randomly but let it be carved out to attain the perfection, avoiding it would be a disaster for your mobile app in the long run.
An app development process begins with a concept, but completes with app developer’s efforts, skills and experience. You need to ensure that you have picked a right mobile app development company for your product/service, failing to do so, can create a major problem in the mobile app existence. The perfect strategies picked for your mobile app development help in the ‘Survival of the Fittest’ in the app market. At Techugo, we take pride in developing the mobile apps for the  leading brands to startups and our mobile app development team  has the expertise to create a unique  variety of mobile app solution for your business needs, which would help you to showcase your idea, goal and dream in the most informative and engaging way.
