There are a lot of online digital agencies working as a social media app builder to cater the rising need of social media app development.

There is a reason why brands and businesses are approaching social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter for marketing. As we have said earlier, Facebook has 1.5 billion users, which is a huge target audience, moreover, brands like to engage and interact with the users the way they like. And Facebook and Twitter is the way people are interacting these days.

I have seen several brands and businesses looking to create an identity over social media platforms to engage new users to turn them into loyal fans. IGN, a famous entertainment website needed to promote an upcoming Hollywood blockbuster movie Parker, they chose a social media platform to promote the movie. The Facebook app designed by social app development company plays trailer of the movie for users along with registering them for a sweepstake which offer cash prizes. The results were astonishing, the trailer was played more than 100,000 times while the sweepstake engaged more than 500,000 people.

Social app development is a trending way for social media promotions and several brands and businesses are approaching this with creative social media ideas. We may see a lot of beautiful social media apps in the year 2015.
