Give your push notifications the voice it deserves with Insider’s Push Amplification

Why do brands need Push Amplification?

While timing and content play a major role in how push notifications are perceived (either as relevant or intrusive) by users, there are certain OS/Device level restrictions that prevent push notifications from reaching a user’s notification tray. 

The OS on most Chinese OEMs are tuned to kill background processes that cut off the device from the push gateways such as GCM/FCM and APNs — this is usually done in an effort to reduce battery consumption. 

What this means is that you may never see a push notification delivery rate above 90%. Most benchmarks put the average delivery rate for push notifications at around 65%. With these Chinese devices accounting for 33% of the global smartphones, marketers lose a chunk of their push notifications as they remain undelivered. 

How does Insider’s Push Amplification boost push deliverability?

Insider devised a novel way to help overcome this challenge that acts as a fallback to standard notification gateways and delivers the notification directly to a user’s phone when standard delivery fails.

Insider’s Push Amplification assigns a unique ID for each device which is used as an alternate delivery gateway.

This works with a pull-back mechanism that is based on Insider’s servers that tracks undelivered notifications and triggers them back directly to a user’s smartphone. 

Benefits of Push Amplification

Push Amplification has been proven to improve delivery rates by as much as 25% to 30% across most Chinese OEMs. This further translates into improvements in other metrics for marketers such as retention, improved CTRs and better conversion rates.
