Only an app can help you to make a genuine and sincere approach to your customer of your product/service. Offer your app users exclusive discounts, content or direct access to your business which keeps them engaged and feel important. A more favourable behaviour is expected out of customers when they know that you are just a tap away and this cultivates loyalty towards your brand.
