Economical Apps for Small business owners by Appsbar of Shawn McNamara

Thanks to his work with Appsbar, Shawn McNamara was able to make a small business owner’s dream come true.

Launched in 2011, Appsbar opened up the mobile marketing category for small and medium-size businesses by allowing them to develop and distribute mobile apps for free using the dynamic app building template at appsbar.com.

The service has since proven to be a boon for all users that were previously locked out of the mobile space because of budget constraints and lack of technical ability. Independent artists, local mom-and-pop stores, and even parents looking to consolidate soccer schedules have all benefitted from Appsbar’s app building tool.

To increase awareness of the tool Appsbar, Shawn McNamara, and the publicity team created the “Small Business App Challenge.”

The Small Business App Challenge encouraged owners and operators to get into the mobile space.  The customizable apps were developed with Appsbar’s free and easy-to-use app builder and allowed the user to upload photos and videos of products and services for a custom app.

The $100,000 Grand Prize winner, Kailani Surfboards, was determined by activations.

“We decided to create an app in order to be able to have easier display models and information for the customer,” business owner Julio Nurse told a surf magazine. “At that time, Appsbar was having an open competition for who could design the best app.”

Appsbar’s user-base has grown internationally and in 2015 surpassed over one million subscribers making it one of the most popular app building platforms in the world. In 2013 Appsbar added mobile capabilities to its offerings, allowing users to create, edit, and publish apps directly from a smartphone or tablet, making it the only app building platform with mobile build out capabilities.

The addition of a mobile version signals another innovation by the Deerfield Beach, FL firm which has been awarded 14 patents by the United States Patent and Trademark Office for mobile application development systems, the most recent coming this month for a specialized app development platform.

Apps for small scale industries by Shawn McNamara of Appsbar.

With Appsbar, Shawn McNamara was hoping to empower small business with the latest advances in mobile technology.

Mobile apps had become ubiquitous. But for many, the ability to develop a small business app came down to know-how and money.

How could it be possible for a small business to develop its own mobile app and interact with clients via their smartphones?

With Appsbar, Shawn McNamara was able to provide a solution to this problem.

This is a fully functional application builder that anyone can use. The wizard at Appsbar.com takes you through the app building process step-by-step. It is very simple to use and the results are viewed in real time in a preview frame.

There are pre-loaded app “types” for different sectors like Entertainment, Business, or Non-Profit. Pick your sector and build from there. Appsbar has made the templates easily customizable by allowing users to upload photos and logos.

At Appsbar, Shawn McNamara and his team realized that just building the app was really only half of the battle. To make the platform truly “turnkey” there had to be an opportunity to publish the app to the available app stores.

The back end work of creating the app and submitting it to the marketplace is all part of the free service.

As Appsbar continues to grow its user base, it has become obvious that users have taken the opportunity to develop and publish apps to new heights.

Artists are publishing mobile apps with their work, small businesses are developing acts to promote and sell their wares, bands are publishing apps with their song files and videos.

It is the small business apps that have Appsbar most excited.

The company was committed enough to the potential for small businesses to capitalize on the mobile app explosion that it created the “Small Business App Challenge.” The contest offered $100,000 to the small business that developed the best app.

Thanks to Appsbar, Shawn McNamara was able to fulfill his commitment to the small business community.

Potential app builders can locate the service online.
