Push Notification Marketing

Push notification marketing is an advertising strategy whereby marketers inform their target audience about services and products via browser notifications on an array of devices. SendPulse offers free web push service if your database has fewer than 10,000 subscribers.

Push notifications are a common advertising format that works for any service, product, and CPA offer. Marketers send both promotional and transactional messages. Transactional notifications notify clients of their order status. With promotional notifications, brands advertise their goods, increase brand awareness, and maximize sales. It’s a great chance to inform users about the latest news, communicate useful information concerning brand apps, new features, and more.

• Better outreach. The number of smartphone users is forecast to reach about 2.5 billion in 2019. Thus, when businesses use push notifications, they showcase their products and services to a more significant section of the smartphone-using market.
• Security. Google API controls push notifications; thus guaranteeing user information is safe and preventing the selling of customer data.
• Higher engagement. Push notifications enable brands to increase app engagement by 88 percent. Moreover, they allow businesses to drive visitors back to their website. Some of the ways brands can engage with subscribers include sending relevant information, reminders, and regular updates.
• Useful insights. Push notifications provide valuable stats regarding open rate and CTR to improve your strategies.
• Cheap communication channel. With push notifications, you can promote your brand at a more favorable price. However, push service is an entirely free feature with SendPulse if your database is fewer than 10,000 subscribers.

Push notifications can be broadly classified into two different types. These are:

Mobile notifications

A mobile app sends these pop-up messages to users. Similar to browser push, mobile push notifications can be used to send news, offers, and sales alerts, events reminders, prompt users to perform a particular action, and so forth. A mobile user should install your app to receive mobile notifications.

Browser notifications

These are browser alerts that a visitor gives their permission to receive while visiting a website. Marketers send them to notify users about sales, news, events, and promos. This type of push alert allows brands to enjoy the benefits of push notifications without an app. SendPulse enables websites to quickly set up personalized browser notifications that stand out on multiple browsers, including Google Chrome, Firefox, and Opera.
