Web Browser Push Notifications

Hey all,

Question from a site that is just starting out. My site just recently went live and I'm intrigued by the idea of utilizing web browser push notifications.

I've noticed them from time to time in the past, but hadn't considered the potential power of them until recently. Apps have found great success, conversion-wise, utilizing push notifications already, why not browsers?

I'm running them against a traditional email opt-in form, so I guess we'll see.

Anyone having any success with push notifications? If so, how are you utilizing them?

I can see the obvious value in pushing them out with new articles posting to a blog and running flash sales, but I'm guessing others have figured out even more creative uses for the notifications.

  • I think most people are annoyed by this, and tell the browser to never again allow it.

    Same for a browser requesting your location.

    There's a strong pushback again this these days.

    It was only acceptable for most on the phones, and phone apps -- not web browsers (mobile or not).

    • The annoyance factor was definitely a thought, but is it any more than an email opt-in? Thanks for the feedback!

    Ditch the link in the post for website as it would come across a self promotion

  • Sorry, not sure of the protocol around here yet! Done.
  • I am growing my PUSH subs nicely.

    I have strong posture though; most folks FEAR annoying folks or see things thru their own annoyed, afraid filters, but I know folks who want to gobble up my blogging content, and feel clear on this. So I add hundreds of subs to my PUSH subscriptions list in addition to my email list which grows pretty quickly too.
