Why Ayia Napa–Paralimni businesses are investing in mobile commerce apps
Ayia Napa–Paralimni is a commercial centre in Cyprus, and one of the places where we build mobile commerce apps for local businesses.
Businesses here work in hospitality, tourism retail and seasonal services; many are based around the Nissi Avenue resort zone and the Ayia Napa marina.
Logistics are supported by The A3 motorway from Larnaca, which matters when you promise customers fast delivery.
Cyprus has SMEs make up 99% of all businesses in the European Union (European Commission). Cyprus is an English-friendly EU market with a strong services economy, international business community and tourism. Local brands use webshops to reach the Greek-speaking diaspora and visitors.
For a business in Ayia Napa–Paralimni, the opportunity is to own the customer relationship: your own shopping app keeps your margin, your data and your brand, while marketplaces and social channels become additional sales routes instead of the only one.
