Here's what the data revealed (
drumroll please.) Within 8 weeks, I achieved nearly 20% of the annual target for increased click through rate. Engagement skyrocketed and I discovered that the most effective notifications were highly specific to the user, providing relevant context and demonstrating a deep understanding of their interests and in-app behavior.
A clear picture emerged. Users craved notifications that were:
- Relevant: Tailored to their individual preferences and in-app behavior.
- Actionable: Provided clear instructions and value propositions.
- Timely: Delivered at the right moment to avoid disrupting gameplay.
- Concise: Easy to understand at a glance, without overwhelming users with unnecessary information.
Example 1: Try [Game Title] because you've enjoyed similar games like [Similar Game Title]."
Example 2: "[Friend Name] has [App Name]. Join them in VR!"
