With push notifications being a proven revenue driver, it’s important to learn how to leverage this feature. In this article, we will walk you through how to incentivize users to subscribe to your push.
Creating your Opt-In Prompt
Your push opt-in prompt is one of the first things your customers will see upon opening the app for the first time. A banner will display at the bottom of your home screen to incentivize users to subscribe to your push notifications. It’s important to use FOMO messaging within this prompt to create a sense of urgency for users to subscribe.
Pro-Tip: Offer app-exclusives within this messaging!
How to Customize Your Opt-In Prompt
Steps
- In the dashboard, select ‘Settings’
- Under ‘Store Settings’ scroll to ‘Push Notification Opt-In Prompt’
- Customize copy up to 85 characters
- Select ‘Save & Update’ and you are all set!
Pro-Tip: Turn on the ‘Push notification opt-in re-engagement’ setting. This will automatically re-engage users who deny push notification access every 45 days.
Considerations
While focusing on the growth of your mobile app, it’s important to have a constant growth campaign. A great way to do this is by consistently creating app-exclusive campaigns, whether this is early access to a sale or an exclusive collection drop. You want to create campaigns that are attracting users to the app.
Leveraging your existing email database and social media following is a great way to get started.
