Using push notifications in your app marketing strategy can transform your business. This small but mighty tactic has the power to boost retention and increase engagement rates at an unparalleled level.

There’s a lot of information out there on how to set up a push notification campaign but let’s go through some of the essentials.

1. Set your objectives: think about the goal of your campaign. Do you want to increase engagement, boost retention, or increase revenue? Having a clear target is the key to any successful campaign.
   
   
2. Identify an audience segment: use demographic, behavioural, geographic, and psychographic data to target users who will find your message valuable.
   
   
3. Personalise your push: go beyond a first-name basis with your users and you will reap the rewards. You can include location, devices, behaviours, timing and more to make each message personalised.
   
   
4. Add relevant media: Images, GiFs, video, and emojis can all make your push notification more engaging.
   
   
5. Add a Call-to-Action: nudge a user toward the desired action with a well-crafted CTA; inject momentum and urgency into your notifications.
   
   
6. A/B Testing: focus on one variant at a time to nail down what type of message works best for your audience.
