The basic definition of a push notification is that it is a clickable pop-up message that appears on a mobile or desktop device. There are two main types of push notifications. The first is Mobile App Push Notifications. The second is Web browser-based push notifications.

Mobile app push notifications are sent by a mobile app to a user’s mobile device. These are apps that are downloaded from a mobile app store like Apple’s app store or Android Google Play store. App publishers can send mobile app push notifications at any time. Users don’t have to be in the app or actively using their devices to receive them.

Web browser-based notifications are messages sent by a web browser to a user’s desktop or any in some cases, even the web browsers on some mobile devices. Websites can send web push notifications at any time to their subscribers. User’s don't have to be on the brand’s website to receive them.

Push Notifications allow brands to send timely, relevant messages to their subscribers.

This can help a marketer to increase their marketable audience (much like you would grow an email list), grow audience engagement and ultimately drive more conversions for the offers and content you want to get in front of your subscribers.
