Why Social Media Should Be Used For Corporate Communication

Nowadays the vast majority of target groups can no longer only be found “offline”, but rather online. Especially in social networks like

• Helo
• Facebook
• Twitter
• YouTube
• Xing
• LinkedIn
• Instagram
• and Co.

messages, opinions and viral content are exchanged. Companies also make use of the possibilities of social networks and introduce appropriate corporate communication.

Social media networks have established themselves in many everyday lives - whether at work or in private. Many companies already have social media experts or PR managers who at least know about communication in social networks and actively use it. Most companies are also aware of the legal situation and the style required in the respective network.

What many companies lack is the right social media strategy. This is exactly where you have to fall back on an experienced expert who taps the potential of the networks. Experts also have access to the tools they need to carry out systematic analyzes and identify clear criteria for success.

Generally speaking, a professional SWOT analysis should be carried out in relation to social media

Cost of Developing Mobile App

The costs for app development cannot be determined as a flat rate. You cannot call up a flat rate for an app. No app is the same as the other and even if apps appear similar at first glance, the costs can be extremely different. 

• Some definitely incurred costs:
• The workload of the developer per hour
• Developer account at Apple
• Developer account with Google
• Percentage fee to Apple / Google
• Server / hosting costs vary depending on the need and cannot be determined across the board

Costs That Depend On The Type of App:

• Simple apps that only run locally on the smart phone (calculator, flashlight, household book etc.)
• Apps that retrieve information from a server (news apps, weather apps, information apps with dynamic content etc.)
• Apps that retrieve information from a server and send information to a server (messenger apps, social media apps without login etc.)
• Apps that retrieve information from a server and send information to a server including login (social media apps with login etc.)
• Complex apps that require a login and retrieve a lot of information from servers (online shops, flight bookings etc.)
• Apps with complex 3D elements (games, 3D editing programs, video editing programs etc.)

The Operating System is Crucial:

In addition to the app category, the operating system is also decisive for the cost of an app. In general, it can be said that the development of a native Android app is on average 20% higher than the cost of developing a native iOS app. The reason for this is that the variation of Android devices is significantly greater than that of Apple devices. If you rely on native apps, each app has to be developed individually, as each app is developed specifically for the operating system. So-called hybrid apps offer an alternative. These are only developed once, can run on iOS and Android and are significantly cheaper to develop and maintain. 

The design of the app also affects the cost of app development. If a complex, unique design is to be implemented, the effort for the implementation of the app increases. If complex animations are also to be integrated, the effort increases even further.
