- Push notifications are short messages sent to mobile devices or browsers outside of app/site sessions. Senior operators only — no juniors.
Why Push Notification matters
App push requires app installation. Browser/web push requires opt-in. Engagement rates 3-5x email but fatigue quickly — limit to 2-3 per week.
Common mistakes with Push Notification
- 1
Allocating budget by historical performance instead of incremental lift. Holdout tests show many "winning" channels are stealing credit.
- 2
Mixing brand and performance metrics in one report. Each needs its own lens and target.
- 3
Treating organic and paid as separate. Brand search lift drives paid CPC down — they compound.
How to improve Push Notification
Run quarterly channel mix reviews using incrementality data, not last-click. Reallocate based on incremental lift.
Build a portfolio approach: 1-2 mature channels at scale, 1-2 in optimization, 1-2 experimental. No more, no less.
Measure brand vs performance separately with separate budgets and separate KPIs. Mixing them produces fuzzy decisions.
