Investing in a mobile app is a significant decision for any Trinidad and Tobago business. Understanding the return on investment helps you make an informed choice.
How Mobile Apps Generate ROI
Increased Revenue
Apps create new sales channels. Customers can browse and purchase at any time, not just during business hours.
Customer Retention
Push notifications and loyalty features keep your brand top-of-mind. App users are significantly more likely to become repeat customers.
Operational Efficiency
Internal business apps automate manual processes, reducing labor costs and errors.
Reduced Marketing Costs
Direct communication through push notifications costs a fraction of traditional advertising.
Data and Insights
App analytics provide valuable data about customer behavior, preferences, and trends.
ROI Scenarios for T&T Businesses
Restaurant with Ordering App
A restaurant processing 20 orders per day through their app at an average of $150 TT per order generates $3,000 TT daily in app revenue. Without paying 25% commission to a delivery platform, that's $750 TT saved per day — over $270,000 TT per year.
Retail Business with Loyalty App
A retail store with 500 app users seeing a 15% increase in repeat purchases can generate significant additional annual revenue through improved customer retention.
Service Business with Booking App
A service business eliminating no-shows through automated reminders and easy rescheduling can recover thousands in previously lost revenue.
Factors Affecting ROI
App Quality
A poorly built app that crashes or frustrates users will have negative ROI. Quality development is essential.
Marketing
An app needs users. Budget for promoting your app through existing channels.
Maintenance
Apps require ongoing updates. Factor in maintenance costs for the full picture.
