Business Intelligent Push Notification

Grocery app push notification

Business intelligent push notifications can entice your users even when your app is not being accessed by them. This type of notification can be personalized for a group of customers whose buying patterns or preferences are similar.

Managing these intelligent notifications are made simple for store owners with plugins. You may automate these push notifications for the smooth landing of your customers on your enticing offers.

Choose Sample While Ordering

We saw push notification engages the customer when the app is not active. While choose sample feature is to attain customer delight – read on to know how. We have seen shop staff offering samples in retail outlets for promoting the products – this will also encourage spot and quicker purchasing decision. 

Now how do we translate this strategy in mobile app shopping? While the customer is browsing for a particular product encourage him or her to choose a sample of a new brand similar to the products he purchased. If you fail to catch his attention at that point – you may try again during the checkout by giving sample options to choose from. 

Look out for returning customers buying those products offered in sample or for their feedback on the sample. Use this data to understand the buyers’ preference and also to make your purchasing decision.

Deep Linking

The Deep Linking feature helps you to improve the time on your app for each visitor. Weave deep links through banner, promotional messages, influencing conversion and so on to keep the app user engaged throughout the time they choose to spend on your app.

This feature also enables the user to navigate within the app smoothly and land on desired product information. This makes navigation seamless and impacts the shopping experience positively.
