Cyber Monday, which celebrates its 14th anniversary this year, is the biggest day for online shopping and it’s right around the corner. 
What used to be a day for tech and electronics is now for every eCommerce and is part of a weekend (BFCM) which marks the start of the Holiday shopping season 
Mobile continues to prove itself as a critical channel for engaging holiday shoppers. In 2018, from Black Friday through Cyber Monday, the US recorded its highest online sales ever: $7.9 billion in e-commerce revenue over the weekend: 54% visits and 35% of that revenue came from mobile devices.
So how do you stand out in the crowd and compete with the big deals from the big brands ?
Think mobile first. If you are just starting as an ecommerce with your GoodBarber Shopping, it is a great time to make your entrance on the market as more and more customers are turning to their mobile to complete their holiday shopping.
Your Shopping App gives you an edge on other retailers. Retailers who have a Shopping App register 3X more conversions than their website.

GoodBarber Shopping App is here!
Visionary retailers can now be present on mobile commerce with a powerful and intuitive Shopping App.
Mobile sales statistics set new records every year and according to Flurry, shopping apps usage grew faster than any other category of apps. The development of e-commerce business has shaped the online shopping behaviors of both clients and retailers, opening new possibilities for business expansion while offering a smooth customer experience.

Here are 5 reasons why you should start creating your Shopping App today.

Today, we are launching GoodBarber Shopping App, the premier App Builder 100% dedicated to the creation of eCommerce apps. 

Mobile sales statistics are setting new records every year.. 
When you shop, it's from your smartphone. For those born with the Internet, this is the norm. For others, it's amazing.. except when the user experience is not up to par. 

We have all had disappointing shopping experiences on our mobile phones: the need to login again, poor display, long and tedious checkout process, a lot of data to enter on a small keyboard, etc. When the user experience is so discouraging, we give up and head for a merchant who allows us to shop easily.  

GoodBarber Shopping App was born from our desire to equip all e-merchants with the technology that makes mobile shopping fun and powerful. 

With your app published on the Store (App Store and the Play Store), you are one step closer to your goal. However, it’s not the time to stop working. You must now focus on promoting your app to boost your audience. 

In order for your app to be successful, you need to think of all the details from the day you start creating it (or updating it).

In this article we will go over the best practices to increase your downloads.

Today the mobile app market is expanding rapidly as our society relies increasingly on smartphones and digital technology. 

According to Statista in 2017, 178 millions apps were downloaded, and this number is set to reach 258 billions by 2022. There’s clearly a high demand for apps, which renders the mobile market highly competitive.

But it’s not easy to create an app. It takes time, expertise and is usually expensive. Often people make the mistake of diving straight in instead of taking the time to analyse their ideas and understand the different steps necessary to build a successful app. 

Whether you are creating an app to complement your website, to reach a new audience for your business or simply have a great idea for a new app, in this article we will explore each step starting from your idea to the publication and upkeep of your app.  

As you know, we have made it a point to improve GoodBarber day after day, and your suggestions are a great source of inspiration for us.

This month we have developed two novelties that you have been many to plebiscite:

• A new confirmation screen for the Form section : You now have the option to display to your users a summary page of their answers before the final submission of the form.
• New types of links for the Contact section : you can now add links towards Instagram, WhatsApp and Skype in your Contact section

You asked us, and now it's done : links towards Instagram, WhatsApp and Skype are now available in your Contact section.

To set them up, go to Content> Sections> Contact> Edit content. Choose the type of link you want to add from the drop-down menu and enter the requested information.

User side behavior will differ depending on the type of link chosen:

• Instagram: the user is redirected to the web version of Instagram, on the page you have entered, he will then have the choice to stay on the web version, or to open the page in the app, if the latter is installed.
• WhatsApp: If the user owns the WhatsApp app, a pop up will ask permission to open the chat page in the WhatsApp app.
• Skype: A pop-up will ask for permission to open the Skype app. If the user does not have it, he will be invited to download it.

The Form section can have multiple uses in your app. Polls, orders, surveys, customer feedback etc... The potential for user engagement is enormous.

As you know, we strive to constantly develop our features, especially when they come from your suggestions. 

Today we present a new feature for this section, which you have been many to plebiscite: a new confirmation screen before sending the form.

Phuket is a renowned island in Thailand, which was in need of an app that gathered all the main attractions, beaches, restaurants and events not to miss during a visit. The app offers privileges such as discounts up to 25% in the best restaurants of the island. 
Unlike other systems, the app doesn't take in considerations reviews or ratings in order to not influence the users.
