Comparison of the best web push notification solutions

Web Push Notifications, a powerful tool?

Why is this a powerful marketing tool?

Push notifications allow you to engage and retain visitors after they leave your website.

You can send targeted personalized messages to users and get them to return to your website afterwards. These can be blog post notifications, product announcements, abandoned cart reminders, etc.

Push notifications are sent directly to the user’s web browser or mobile device, which means they have a much higher engagement rate than email.

Many large sites use push notifications. However, most small businesses have yet to realize their power.

If you are still hesitating about push notifications, now is the perfect time to get started, and get ahead of the competition! 

In this article, we make a small comparison of the best push notification tools you can try.

OutPush is a company that has just launched on the French market of technologies for website publishers. OutPush helps blogs, media and other content sites to monetize their activity through web push notifications.

These notifications, which are sent to subscribers when they leave the site, allow publishers to send targeted communications.
