Web Push Notifications Drive Higher User Engagement

Web push notifications have proven to be more effective at driving a higher level of user engagement than other forms of online advertising, this is especially true among younger consumers (18-34). If web browser push notifications aren't part of your online marketing strategy yet – they need to be!

Decreasing open rates for email

Now compare that to email. According to MailChimp, one of the world's leading email service providers for business, who literally send billions of emails per month, say compiled statistics looking at open rates across industries.

E-commerce had a dismal open rate of only 16.75%. Retail wasn't much better at only 22%.

As you can see from the above statistics, you can double your ability to get messages to your subscribers using web push notifications.

Younger people favor personalized web push notifications

In the important demographic of younger consumers, web push notifications are favored over other types of advertising.

"Behavior-based push results in open rates 800 percent higher than immediate blasts."
– Leanplum

Personalized web push notifications have shown an amazing increase in open rates, and are far beyond what can be achieved with email marketing. When you send relevant and well-timed messages to your subscribers, they are much more likely to read your message and engage. Rather than sending an "broad blast" to a number of users, instead, you can set your web push notifications to be triggered by subscriber behavior.

You can pre-design the content of your message to be related to a specific user-event. Events such as visiting a particular webpage, downloading a free item, post-purchase, abandoned shopping carts and more can be targeted. You can also target specific product interests or user preferences with related personalized messages.

Best of all, you can target your subscribers with these personalized messages whether they are on your website or not. Your message is delivered in real-time, as soon as they take whatever action you have specified to trigger the sending of a web push notification.
