Getting Started with Drip Push Notification Campaigns

Adblocker adoption is shooting through the roof. Display ads are barely clicked on. Email is not scalable. In essence, growth is becoming increasingly difficult to sustain. We get it. It is not just user acquisition, user engagement is becoming equally difficult. Extending a layer of automation is obvious to a marketing tool. Here is a guide that talks about how you can use Drip Notification Campaigns to automate redundant tasks and put them on autopilot.

Automating Engagement With Drip Push Notification Campaigns

Objective behind marketing automation is simple -

  • Avoiding redundant tasks 
  • Investing the time saved on better things such as audience segmentation, optimization, and more.

Depending upon the scale, sophistication involved, marketers can automate most of their end user communication using web push notification. The triggers for pushing out notification can vary. In this post, we will talk about the simplest trigger - Subscribing to web push notifications.

Communicating Too Much or Too Little

We have seen more than often that, marketers often wait long before they send out their first notification. The reason cited is the size of the audience. We have already seen that how not engaging with users at the right time, creates a shock and awe situation, resulting in a high number of users unsubscribing or blocking notifications. What you also don't want to do is communicate too much by pushing them too many notifications and pushing them to block or unsubscribe.
