Why Did Brenton Go with an App?

Brenton Ford’s Effortless Swimming has a platoon of various and valuable content. So, why use an app?

One app can put all of ES’s free content in one place for customers and fans alike to easily access in a single location. Before the app, Brenton says that all of their content was scattered a bit everywhere—from the website to the podcasts to all of their social media platforms.

The Effortless Swimming app allows a user to browse through all of the latest videos, podcasts, and events in one place.

Apps are great for efficiently bringing all content together from various platforms.

With Facebook alone, you’re fed the latest experiences and testimonials from ES users as well as current and upcoming events. ES’s Instagram page showcases pictures from happy customers with inspirational images and quotes from other swimmers.

Combining social media platforms alone is reason enough to get an app dedicated to streamlining content.

The ES website also carries a huge database of blog posts, success stories and testimonials, free tips, and information on the various courses and clinics available for users. Imagine all this information you need right at your fingertips.

With this in mind, Brenton wanted to make the process of browsing and selecting content seamless for membership owners.

The App Match integrated ES’s needs in a single app. All while using ES’s current setup and software, the App Match made an app that wouldn’t require any added steps or requirements to use on the members’ part.

Someone who is subscribed to your app no doubt is exposed to your content more often and more consistently. Compare that to someone who’d have to make their way to your site every time they remember or have time to check it out.

You’ll definitely get much more customer loyalty from a subscriber!

On your members’ end, they have easy access to what they want and will become more and more familiar with your content and style. This makes them more likely to buy and appreciate your valuable content now and in the future.

This a definite win-win.

Also, giving an incentive to download your app definitely makes for more users!

The way ES goes about offering incentives is by placing a banner on the site as people are browsing through it on their phones. The banner encourages them to download the app by offering to include their name in a raffle for a free gift. Brenton also includes this banner throughout ES’s social media.

Once your prospective browsers get the app, you can then work to earn trust by giving them value. A single download can bring you that much closer to loyal and happy customers.

Brenton Ford’s Experience Working with Jarrod and The App Match Team

When working with The App Match to create the perfect app for Effortless Swimming and their users, Brenton Ford simply had to send Jarrod what information they had on their operating systems as well as what they were looking to accomplish.

It took a simple initial consultation call between Jarrod and Brenton to get the ball rolling. Jarrod was right away able to send a few templates that he thought could work and that Brenton would like.

Brenton actually selected a few different components from each of the templates. Talk about a really customizable product and personalized experience. The App Match created ES’s very own unique app.

And, voilà! The Effortless Swimming app was created.

App development is quite extensive and usually carries various stages to its development. Needless to say, it can get pricey… But, Brenton was able to budget this project with Jarrod as The App Match simply offered a flat rate.

That’s where The App Match came into play. Jarrod and his team were able to create an app that best suits Effortless Swimming and its followers.

Everything they need – all in one app.
