Developing Your Business: Six Great Apps to Help You Grow

Incorporating mobil apps into your business plan can lead to serious success. There are thousands of apps out there, so which ones do you incorporate? Here's six apps every business owner should have.

1. Evernote

As a business owner, you’ve got plenty of ideas. Chances are, your mind is full of ways to advance your company and improve your products or services. Evernote keeps all your thoughts in one place. Organize notes, pictures and documents easily. No more losing scraps of paper that detail your business strategies!

2. Square

Gone are the days of giant cash registers. Now all financial transactions can take place on your phone or tablet. Once you have the small Square reader and download the app, you’re ready to accept payments anywhere.

3. Paypal

If you take payments online, Paypal is a must. The app is secure and safe and most people you do business with will have a Paypal account.

4. Google docs

Whether you’re coming up with great ideas for your next project or creating a sales page for next season, you can keep all of your documents in one place. Collaboration is part of doing business well. It’s easy for multiple coworkers to  revise documents simultaneously. This way, everyone’s on the same page when you commence working on a project again.

5. Aweber

You want to keep in contact with your customers and potential customers. Set up a marketing campaign that incorporates email. Aweber is an email marketing service that helps you keep your customers up to date with what your business is doing. Send out information that matters to your audience so they know you’ll be there to solve their problem when they’re ready to buy.

6. Hootsuite

More and more users are getting updates from their favorite businesses during the day from their social media outlets. Businesses are using these platforms to spread news about their company. However, most business owners have so much to do each day and not a great deal of time to spend on their social media accounts. Hootsuite helps you manage all of your accounts so you can spread the message to all your followers in less time.

It's easier to create a business when you have great tools by your side.
