How to Reach New Users and Monetize Web Push Notifications with ReachMobi

When it comes to building an audience and brand for yourself, you have a lot of options. This is something online businesses, bloggers, and content creators have to struggle with all of the time — finding out which is the best method of content creation, outreach, and monetization for them?

As the internet continues to move in different directions and new technologies allow for even more direct contact with audiences, it’s important to always stay ahead of the trends and make sure your business is adapting to it. One such movement as of lately has been in the world of ‘push notifications’ and the process of delivering engaging messages and content right to your audience.

Today we are going to take a look at how ReachMobi is making the process of building, engaging and monetizing mobile audiences through push notifications more effective than ever before.

How ReachMobi is Helping Brands Engage with Mobile Audiences

We all know mobile is quickly becoming the go-to platform for pretty much everything. Search engines and social networks are still drivers of massive traffic, but the massive swing in mobile growth is just taking over like nothing else. If you are still relying on other platforms and not fully focused on mobile marketing, you are already leaving way too much money on the table.

Everyone has their mobile device on them at all times, and whenever a new notification, phone call or text comes in… you know it’s getting checked right away. This is something that can’t be said of other forms of marketing, like social and email.

ReachMobi has created a solution where brands and marketers can connect with audiences no matter where they are or what they currently doing online — which is ‘web push notifications’. Web push is the new hotness. I can’t stress enough how much money you’re losing by not giving ReachMobi’s Web Push a serious look.

More often than not, you will likely have noticed a new form of popup notifications on some of your favorite websites and blogs asking if you would like to receive notifications of future promotions or site updates. You will likely have also noticed that they don’t ask for your email, and instead ask a simple YES or NO — this is where the value in push notifications come in.

ReachMobi has created a solution that allows anyone to create a campaign to push real-time notifications to users, making them perfectly targeted at the right time at the right place.

With monetization and engagement always in mind, this is a dream come true for any marketers, brands or content creators looking for that next big step in boosting conversions and ROI. Not only is it a new channel for marketing, it’s also a method of contact that has a huge engagement rate — while also being permission based.

Getting the Most Out of Push Notifications

Even if you aren’t actively using push notifications for your online brand or business, you are likely already using them on your mobile device. Everything from Facebook notifications, application updates and game notifications can all fall into this category.

This can tell us two things about push notifications — the first being that people are now used to them and are willing to accept them through their mobile devices. The second is that such notifications need to provide value, or they will quickly become annoying and removed or unsubscribed to immediately.

Since we are all familiar with the concept of mobile push notifications, the way they work for online brands or businesses is quite similar, except that they are pushed through a web browser. (Web Push Notifications) As a user is browsing the internet or on their computer, they may receive a notification that appears on the top right of their screen (maybe on the latest article that just went live on their favorite blog).

You can see a screenshot below on some of the most important elements to consider when creating an effective push notification for your site or brand.

Again, quite similar to the way notifications are displayed on a mobile device, ‘push notifications’ will have an image, title, message and link. As always, you would want to set these up so they are not only providing as much value as possible but also to grab the attention of the user in as limited space/characters as possible.

How ReachMobi Does Push Notifications Better

Just like setting up a mailing list or newsletter for your site, you are going to need to have a list hosting provider. When it comes to setting up and hosting a push notification on your site, ReachMobi acts as that solution.

Here are the three things ReachMobi’s web push notification solution does for your business:

• Grow Your Audience: As an advertiser, it can be difficult to get to the right user at the right time with the right message. Web push notifications overcome these hurdles, giving you the chance to reach out and form meaningful, long-term connections with your prospective audience. ReachMobi already works with such top brands as Car and Driver, Cosmopolitan, and Elle.
• Re-Engage Your Audience: Loyal users are hard to find and even harder to keep. If you have a rich media website and someone has been reading your content, ReachMobi allows you to re-engage that audience to keep them coming back. This way, a one-time reader can turn into a lifetime subscriber.
• Monetize Your Audience: This is the thing that ReachMobi does that nobody else in the industry is doing. ReachMobi enables you to monetize your users by serving advertisers within your specific content vertical.

Because of their long-standing relationships with their advertisers and search partners, ReachMobi has been able to insert content specific advertising into web push, which is something nobody else is offering. This alone makes ReachMobi #1 in web push innovation.
