DRIVE CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT

WHAT AN EFFECTIVE PUSH LOOKS LIKE

Let’s start easy. Here are three tips to consider before writing a push notification.

• Keep it Short and Simple: Write clear, concise, and impactful messages to avoid overwhelming users. Use CareCloud AI chatbot Abigail to write stunning text that will interest customers. Like: “New arrivals just in! Shop now for the latest fashion trends.” or “Don’t miss out; only limited stock of trekking boots is available.”
• Segment Your Customers: Use segmentation to send the most relevant notifications to each customer. For example, segment your customers based on their favorite categories, brands, or price range. 
• Ensure Mobile Push Notifications Align with Your Overall Marketing Strategy: Integrate push notifications into your overall marketing strategy to provide users with a seamless omnichannel experience. 

BOOST ENGAGEMENT WITH PUSH

Not every message is suitable for every communication channel. Here are four of the most effective messages that are perfect for push notifications.

• Informative Messages: Send important and time-sensitive information, such as orders or reservations. Informative messages help users stay informed and feel connected to your brand. For example, “Hi! Your order #12345 has been successfully processed and is on its way. Track your package now for delivery updates.”
• Location-based Triggered Notifications: Utilize geolocation data to send targeted alerts and offers based on the user’s location. For example, a special promotion at a nearby store can significantly increase engagement and drive foot traffic to your stores.
• Re-Engagement Campaigns: Let customers know you haven’t forgotten. Whether it’s a reminder about items left in their cart or a notification about products back in stock, re-engagement campaigns are an effective way to bring users back to your app and increase sales.
• Promotional Messages: Create excitement and urgency with push. Whether it’s a limited-time discount, a flash sale, or a seasonal promotion, promotional messages help drive sales and encourage users to take action. For example, 🌟 Flash Sale Alert! Don’t miss out on incredible deals – limited time only! Shop now before it’s too late. 💸🛍

QUALITY OVER QUANTITY

Last but not least, the three most important things to check before sending push notifications:

Personalization: Customers expect messages tailored to their interests. By analyzing user data such as past purchases and shopping behavior, you can create personalized messages that resonate with your customers. Personalized notifications grab users’ attention and enhance their shopping experience, increasing engagement and loyalty.

Timing: The timing of push notifications is critical to their effectiveness. With automated workflows, you can schedule notifications to be sent at optimal times based on user behavior and preferences. You can maximize their impact and drive higher conversion rates by delivering messages when users are most likely to engage.

Relevance: Push notifications should be used sparingly and only for important and relevant messages. It’s crucial to prioritize quality over quantity and only send notifications that provide real value to the user.
