Push Notification Best Practices: 90% Open Rates
How PushBird clients achieve 90% open rates with timing, personalization, and segmentation strategies. Industry average is 7%.
Average push notification open rate: 7%.
PushBird clients: 90%+ open rates.
The Secret: Relevance + Timing
1. Segment Your Audience
Don't blast everyone. Target specific groups:
- "Users who visited in last 7 days"
- "Customers who purchased premium plan"
- "Cart abandoners"
2. Timing Matters
Bad: 3 AM notifications
Good: Send at user's local time based on timezone
3. Personalization Wins
❌ "New products available"
✅ "Hey Sarah, 20% off your favorite brand"
PushBird Results
Gym client:
- Before: 12% open rate (generic reminders)
- After: 87% open rate (personalized class reminders)
Retail client:
- Before: 5% conversion from push
- After: 34% conversion (cart abandonment + discount)
Technical Implementation
// Segment: Last active 7 days ago
await pushbird.send({
segment: {
last_active: { gte: 7, lte: 14 }
},
message: "We miss you! Come back for 15% off",
link: "/promo/comeback"
});
