So what is influencing this transition from Wordpress, email, and other social media to apps? This is the case because social media and email are simply not enough. Currently there is not a specific app for professionals to chat, which is quite problematic in today’s day and age. Another thing is that social media and email do not incorporate gamification tactics, which are extremely necessary. There is also no ability to customize your app, there aren’t in app purchase or subscriptions, there aren’t ownership options, and there is a low open rate as it’s only 2% for email marketing versus the 70% for App sharing.
