Use push notifications within your event app

Push notifications have become one of the most successful strategies for capturing and keeping app user attention. In fact, 44% of phone users have slept with their cell phone by their side so they didn’t miss a notification, signalling that they are open and ready to receive the right kind of messages¹.

Studies have shown that users that receive a push notification within the first 90 days after their first app open have 3x higher retention rates than those who do not!¹ But there’s still room for improvement: When asked if push notifications are helpful, only one in five respondents agreed.² Reason enough to have a closer look at the right methodology and best practices for push notifications.
