Traffic is high. But it also consists of flyby visitors. Suddenly the number is not something to be proud of. To put the publisher flywheel in motion, Smart Parenting was on the lookout for a channel that would engage users effectively.
Once visitors come to the website, a few of them drop off, but a few are willing to stick to your website to consume information. This is where push notifications come in. The push notification prompt encourages readers to subscribe so that the readers get relevant updates, keeping them informed. Constant contextual engagement builds reader trust and builds a loyal audience base, thus improving lifetime value. iZooto is helping them do exactly that, providing them more revenue down the line.
Janine Christine, Conversion Data and Analytics, Smart Parenting, was thrilled to start off with web push notifications when Kristi, Associate Director Account Management, walked her through the features iZooto had. They started acquiring from the very first day, exciting the team at Smart Parenting. They put the Welcome Your Subscribers Playbook to start engaging the subscribers they built, right away.
Smart Parenting observed that though people landed on their website, they tend to drop off. To bring users back to the website, they made use of iZooto's Recover Abandoned Tab Playbook to nudge people to return to the website and complete the read. The team at Smart Parenting was thrilled and was looking forward to exploring the tool more.
Smart Parenting was clear in its approach from the very beginning, to only send relevant notifications to readers. They went ahead and created segments based on subscribers active in X days to reach out to for specific campaigns and have also created segments such as ‘Subscribed in the last 7 days and 15 days to keep them engaged.
When iZooto released its Content Recommendation Playbook powered by Kepler AI, they were excited to try it out. With the Content Recommendation Playbook, personalized notifications were sent to readers based on their previously read articles, at a time they are more likely to click.
The result they saw blew their minds. They retained 22% of readers even in the 12th week, surpassing organic (0.49%) and paid (0.29%). What is interesting is that there is a sharp drop in returning visitors when compared to organic traffic in the very next week. Whereas for notifications sent through Kepler AI, readers’ return rate is 14X times more than organic visitors.
In the mid-week, it goes up to 40X better than organic. By the 12th week, the number of returning visitors went as high as 44X coming in from Kepler AI, compared to organic.
To reach out to readers where they hang out the most, they started using iZooto's Messenger Push notifications. Not only were they able to reach out to readers, but also engage and interact with them effectively. With constant engagement, Smart Parenting saw that the click and retention rate was mind-blowing.
iZooto helps increase returning visitors, creating a loyal subscriber base, which in turn increases the lifetime value of a reader.
