The Definition of Web Push Notifications – How Can it Help?

E-commerce merchants increasingly use web push notifications to connect with consumers and trigger web push notifications on their website, often on a customer’s device even after the user is no more. The ability for marketers and E-commerce managers to perfectly tailor notifications is a unique opportunity to build a customer relationship.

Web Push Notifications Extend Your Marketing Reach

E-commerce merchants and online retailers that don’t always have their customers in the know about their offerings can risk alienating them and driving them to their competitors. By empowering them to subscribe and engage with updates and notifications, you put the cart before the horse and put the flywheel in motion for more sales, faster.

Here are a few types of web push notifications:

Abandoned Cart Push Notifications

Reach out to customers who have left your website and drive greater user acquisition and conversion rates with new abandonment alerts. The new Abandoned carts notification shows them exactly how long they have to abandon their carts.

Your web push notifications and other marketing channels such as emails, social shares, etc. can all work together to build the customer journey.

In fact, abandoned carts can get you more customers than any other marketing channel but the real question is, are your notifications helping you get your customers?

Product-based Web Push Notifications

Update your customers about the latest products on offer with web push notifications. You can trigger the web push notifications based on the customers who have ‘viewed’ similar products. However, do remember to add an exception to the rule – for those who have ‘added to their carts.’

Post Purchase Push Notifications
