Creating Memorable Meetings with Smart Phones and Apps

As a meeting planner, one of your main objectives is to create an unforgettable experience for people. Whether the meeting is a corporate convention or an incentive travel reward, you want people to leave the event feeling happy and appreciated, and that their time (and money) was well spent.

Should I Stake My Claim in the App World Now?

If you look at the types of apps currently available in the app stores, you can see that most of the companies developing apps are focused more on the present than the future as they design their apps. The majority are creating simplistic and basic apps that don’t take into account a broader set of present and future needs and that certainly aren’t designed as enterprise level apps.

What Are The Apps of Tomorrow?

While creating apps with a mass-market appeal is good (such as apps for organizing files or creating action lists), few companies are thinking about the evolution of apps and what the next generation of apps will be.

Is an App Necessary For My Business?

No one can deny that the original telephone Alexander Graham Bell invented in 1876 has changed significantly. From a luxury item proudly displayed as the centerpiece of the home to something small, portable, and powerful that people keep within arm’s reach 24/7, the humble telephone has evolved into a mini personal computer capable of much more than traditional voice phone calls.

Creating Your Own Vision and Making Money with Apps

In my last blog I introduced you to the easy to use Complete Foreclosures app. A user simply clicks the “Nearby Foreclosures” link to see a map indicating nearby distressed homes. Click on a point of interest and the app shows the details of the listing, along with a photo of the property.

The Defining Niche of Apps For Smartphones & Smartpads

If you look at the many categories in the app stores, you’ll see that most of the companies developing apps have a narrow view of what apps can be used for. They’re currently creating simplistic and basic apps, such as foreign language translation, to do lists, airport gate information, currency conversion, etc.

The App Revolution

No one can deny that apps for smart phones are revolutionizing the way people not only use their phones, but also how they function in daily life. From apps to help you relax to those that simplify to-do lists or teach you a new skill, there’s an abundance of apps in virtually every category imaginable. In the iTunes store alone there are over 125,000 apps, and over one and one-half billion downloads have taken place.
