Have Your Own App
Apps give your business a competitive edge
Get an App to interact with your customers
Reaching people through an app is an exciting new way to communicate.
Web sites are a great way to attract new business - Apps are a great way to keep them!
Over 75% of new phones sold in the UK are expected to be smartphones and apps are the things smartphone owners want on their smartphones.
For your customers with smartphones, having your app on their phone will give you a line of communication that you didn't have before and give you an edge on your competitors.
Benefits to you
You can send messages to everyone that has your app, without you knowing their phone number, their email address, or without even knowing their name.
When a customer installs your app and accepts push notifications, they can receive alerts from you, which are visible even when they aren’t looking at your app!
E-mail shot effectiveness has an average 5% read rate in the UK
Push notifications can help you to communicate instantly and effectively with your customers about an offer, product launch, event details or announcement.
Want to update the content of your app?
With LimeTime apps, you can do that - no need to resubmit the app to the app store, just update it across the Internet from our easy to use control panel, with no programming knowledge required!
Want people to follow you on Twitter or Facebook?
Many establishments say 'follow us on twitter but how many people actually find you that way or remember to look once they leave your premises? Your app can focus your social media presence so your customers have a unified place on their smart-phone to learn more about you direct from your app.
Already have a website?
Our apps can integrate your existing on-line content.
Communicate Benefits to your customers
You already have customers, but maybe they don't come in as often as you would like.
Give them reasons to, by making it easy for them to see what you are doing.
Your customers can choose products and services direct from your app (up-datable by you whenever you want). They can make bookings or reservations with you from their smartphones or communicate with you by Email, phone or text at the click of a button with no names or numbers to look-up elsewhere.
Give your customers more reasons to use your app
Have special offers with vouchers that appear only on their phone
Pubs, clubs, gyms, restaurants, music venues, bands, sports clubs, hair salons & schools are examples of businesses that can benefit from a LimeTime smart-phone app.
LimeTime can create a custom app for your business that allows you to do all of these things at an affordable price.
Standard package
Our standard product is for an app built to an existing framework model, for up to 20 pages of content, plus any of our standard phone specific features.
Our solution includes up-f
ront costs to develop the app and all ongoing fees for maintenance, internet hosting and licensing costs for the first 12 months. After the first year, the price drops to cover ongoing maintenance, hosting and licensing costs.
Optional extras
Push Notifications – we use an external bureau that routes the messages. Our current bureau provides a million notifications per month, based on the number of apps in circulation. E.g. if you have 10,000 copies of your app downloaded you can send 100 messages/month within your allowance. The additional charge covers the setup-costs and on-going fee.
Second Target Device – With our Appbuilder solution, we can build apps for Apple (iPhone, iPod or iPad), or Android. Our basic package is for one device, we can do the second type as an optional extra. Building a second app can share elements of the build process for the first, but the release process is different.
Bespoke work
If the app you are looking for does not match our framework, we would be pleased to provide an estimate.
As part of the design process, LimeTime help and provide guidance on layouts to suit the message and content for your business.
Our philosophy is to group your content in easy to follow format and help your customer reach the content you want to communicate in a simple and easy way. Pop over to our Apps section to see examples that may be suitable for your business.
