What is Notifications (push/in-app)?

Definition, examples, and more

Definition

Messages delivered to users either outside the app (push) or during app sessions (in-app). These are key channels for driving re-engagement, promoting renewals, upselling, and nudging users toward key lifecycle milestones like trial start or upgrade.

Example

A language app uses push for re-engagement ('Your 14-day streak is at risk!') and in-app messages for conversion (after a lesson: 'Premium unlocks 200+ advanced lessons'). Together they lift subscriber conversions by 35%.

Why Notifications (push/in-app) Matters

Notifications are the highest-reach, lowest-cost channel. Users with push enabled show 35% higher weekly activity and 22% lower churn. Contextual in-app prompts after completing core actions convert 3x better than random timing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What push opt-in rate should I aim for?

Which notifications drive the most revenue?

Trial expiration reminders, payment failure alerts, win-back offers, and engagement streak notifications. Personalized, time-sensitive messages perform best.
