Moreover, E-commerce businesses that use push notifications effectively have witnessed a 278% increase in engagement rate and a 7% increase in retention. 💼

So what is a push notification? 🤔

A push notification is a message that pops up on a mobile device or desktop. App publishers can send them ANYTIME, even if the users are not actively using the app or browsing the website.💻

Here’s how you can use push notifications to increase your brand’s engagement and retention rate:

1. Interactive Polls and Surveys:
A retail app can send push notifications to users, inviting them to participate in interactive polls or surveys. This engages users and provides valuable insights for the business to make data-driven decisions.🗳️

Example: The clothing retailer, ASOS, used push notifications to engage their app users by sending them interactive polls to vote on their favorite outfits. This allowed ASOS to gather customers and offerings accordingly.👗

Takeaway: Engage users and gather valuable insights by using push notifications to conduct interactive polls and surveys.📊

2. Personalized Recommendations and Alerts:
An e-commerce app can send push notifications with personalized product recommendations based on user preferences, browsing history, and purchase behavior. Additionally, businesses can send alerts when a desired item is back in stock or when there is a price drop on a saved item, creating a sense of exclusivity and urgency.🛍️

Example: You can use push notifications to send personalized product recommendations to users based on their browsing and purchase history. They also send alerts when items from a user’s wishlist go on sale or are back in stock.💡

Takeaway: Utilize user data to send personalized recommendations and alerts, enhancing the user experience and driving conversions.🛍️

3. Virtual Events and Webinars:
Businesses can use push notifications to promote and remind users about virtual events, webinars, or live streams. This can include sending notifications with event details, speaker line-ups, and exclusive access codes. By leveraging push notifications, businesses can increase event attendance and engagement.🎤

Example: TED, the renowned conference and speaker series, uses push notifications to inform their app users about upcoming TED Talks, providing them with a convenient way to access inspiring content and stay connected with the TED community.🧠

Takeaway: Promote virtual events and webinars through push notifications to increase attendance and engagement.🤝
