  • Send relevant content 

Send contextual notifications to users by segmenting them based on their on-site behavior and interests. Users can be sent different notifications based on location and timezone as well so that you reach out with the most relevant information according to where they are and at the right time.

  • Reach out at the marketable moment

Reach out to users at the time they would likely to take an action. For example, nudge users when they leave an article unread, or abandon a tab, ask them to resume a video they did not complete watching. Or inform users when a new product has arrived, or announce about a commence of a sale to encourage users to return back. 

  • Cap on frequency

Do not bombard users with a lot of notifications. Remember, you are not the only brand that is sending them a notification. Send notifications that are relevant and important for them to receive.
