8. Why do I need this if I already use email and social media?

12. What if my customers don’t shop online?
The app isn’t just for online shopping. It helps customers explore your products, participate in loyalty programs, and receive notifications about events and promotions. For those who do shop online, the in-app shopping feature is an added bonus.
