Why PWAs (Progressive Web Apps) Are Set to Dominate in the Future

Image
  If the tech giant, Apple, was intimidated when the popular online video game Fortnite tried to bypass its App Store, it will surely not be happy when PWAs thrive. Progressive web apps obstruct Apple’s granular control over the App Store as they deliver app-like experiences without requiring the users to download a real application. While these are designed for daily website users, they offer numerous features exclusive to native applications only. Even though many businesses are “really” into the idea of developing native apps, to tell the truth, this approach can be a struggle for the developers. Building a native application comes with many responsibilities, including updating them regularly, handling user reviews, drawing downloads, paying a 30% share of each sale (including in-app purchases and paid apps) to most stores, which makes sense. In 2020, Apple earned over $64 billion from the App Store, according to reports. This is part of the reason why the search giant Google is...

Impact of the COVID-19 Lockdown on Creative Concepting

Image
While it is not uncommon for the creative teams to work remotely away from their office confines, being mandated to stay home-bound could be restrictive for a process that heavily depends on team chemistry. Moreover, with a continuous flow of stories about selfless service, human sufferings, and the fragility of life as a whole, presumptions on human behavior probably need to or are being reconsidered, particularly when it comes down to creative thinking. The big question here is – in this restored focus on “pure creative thinking,” has a notable change taken place in perspective and approach towards ideation? Is there a need to polish some meta-skills and to have a deeper connection? According to Agnello Dias, Co-Founder Taproot Dentsu, and Creative Chairman, DAN, the frantic churn for newer creative that decreased the lifespan of every piece of creative to a couple of weeks might and should (honestly) slow down. He believes that the race to get something “new” out there often outweig...

5 Tips to Improve Digital Security for Small Businesses

Image
Digital security is just as crucial as it has always been as businesses are increasingly looking forward to continuing remote work after the Covid-19 pandemic. Just like an organization would make sure to keep their doors locked and building under the surveillance of CCTV cameras, securing online business transactions and confidential information about the employees is equally essential and deserves attention just as much as any other business operation. As the world is shifting towards digitalization, it is vital that companies understand the kind of damage a little carelessness can cause. A cyberattack is capable of creating chaos and disrupting the whole organization. Hackers are always searching for new targets, but they are not just targeting big firms with lots of money. The small businesses are equally or even more susceptible to cyber threats. Data is too valuable, and protecting it at all costs is the first step to securing your online business and assuring your customers that...

Digital Marketing Trends That Are Going to Have a Long-Lasting Impact

Image
As a result of the Coronavirus pandemic, customers have adjusted to the increasing environmental, economic, and political landscape changes. Like Google summarizes in its Covid-19 Ads Playbook; currently, we are seeing three major changes: Shock change – A sudden change in customer behavior that is not likely to sustain over time (such as an increase and decrease in searches around phrases like “Schools closing” when quarantine orders rolled out.) Step change – An unexpected change in behavior with the ability to stay (such as searches related to workout at home.) Speed-up change – A stimulation in behavior with the ability to stay (such as delivery related searches.) As we navigate a reforming landscape, marketing teams must adapt all these types of trends in their digital marketing strategies to become successful. It is essential to realize that these rising trends are going to have a long-lasting impact on planning future strategy, especially in markets that have longer purchasing c...
