2021 Stats-

“The global app market broke its all-time record for spend again,” App Annie says. At $34 Billion, the 2nd quarter total was around $7 billion up on the 2nd quarter total for 2020 and $2 Billion up on the 1st quarter for 2020.

By these stats we can really see the direction our world is moving on the digital front, all this progress is generating huge revenue and making our lives faster, more efficient and instant gratification is what we expect.

But what does this mean for us as individuals and business owners, well it can be good and bad, a double-sided sword if you will.

Balance is key, we need to keep up with technology but at the same time we cannot leave humanity behind, it is important for us to keep up and stay connected and progress with new technology, but as business owners, service providers, and individuals, we cannot lose our human touch, our face-to-face connections our personal interaction and non-automated responses.

Life is all about balance and vision.

Here at SBS we believe in progress and technology, but we will never lose the personal touch we have with our clients, that is why you have a broker, so that you can rest easy with peace of mind that you have the best personal, hands-on service when it comes to protecting your assets.

At the end of the day people to business with people, not Apps.
