Does your business need a mobile app? 5 signs
A mobile app is a serious investment and it doesn't pay off for everyone. Here are five signs your business should think about its own app.
1. Customers buy from you regularly
Food delivery, cafés, beauty salons, pharmacies, corner shops: if a customer comes back weekly, an app with order history and bonuses noticeably increases repeat sales.
2. You need push notifications
A phone notification gets seen far more often than a newsletter or social post. It is a free channel for promotions and reminders.
3. You have couriers or field staff
A dedicated app for couriers and technicians with a map, statuses and payments brings order to logistics and saves dispatchers time.
4. You want a loyalty programme
Bonus cards in an app beat plastic ones: customers always see their balance and you see purchase statistics.
5. Your website already brings in orders
It's best to launch an app once demand is proven. If you don't have a website yet, start there.
When a Telegram bot is enough
If order volume is still small, a Telegram bot with a catalogue and cart costs a fraction of an app and launches in a week or two. Many customers in Tajikistan already use Telegram every day.

If you recognised your business in two or three of these points, an app will most likely pay off. We'll assess your idea for free and suggest the best option: app, bot or website.
