6 min readNov 2026

Push notifications are the main reason many brands launch an app. The difference between a message customers welcome and one they mute is usually relevance and restraint.

Adapt the examples below. Replace placeholders and only claim what is true, such as real stock levels or real discounts.

FAQ

How often should I send push notifications?

Start low, such as a few per week, and watch opt-out rates. Transactional messages like order updates are separate from marketing.

What is a good push notification length?

Short enough to read on the lock screen. Lead with the benefit.

Do emojis help?

Sometimes. Test with your audience and keep them minimal.

Can I personalize push messages?

Most builders support basic personalization such as name or product. Check your plan.
