The holiday season is a busy time of year. The ideal time for apps to help you and your customers cut down on the work and maximize the fun.


1 Let the music get you in the swing of things.

Listen to festive tunes on your morning commute. Collaboratively create a playlist for the office party. Music streaming apps make it all simple.

Many brick-and-mortar retailers offer apps that create enhanced, real-world shopping experiences—as if the sales weren’t fun enough already.
