    The Web Push channel in Mapp Engage allows you to send personalized web push notifications to those of your contacts who have opted in.

    Key Benefits

    • Reach & Engagement

      • send web push to all or to selected contacts

      • reach website visitors who are not yet your contacts

      • increase engagement - nudge people to visit areas of the site that are of special interest to them, and draw their attention to new relevant content

      • always reach real people - as web push is browser-based, there is no room for fake email addresses

    • Usability:

      • quick and easy set-up process - no support from technical teams is required

      • time-efficient - no special design elements are involved

      • easy to manage - you can create, edit and delete web push messages anytime

    • Cost effectiveness: Web push is one of the most cost-effective channels, since no additional external services are involved.
