Push notifications cited as the ideal tool combining mobile marketing’s unique benefits
PORTLAND, Ore., – October 24, 2013 – Urban Airship, the global leader in mobile solutions to build relationships with connected consumers, today announced its inclusion in the October 2013 “Push Mobile Engagement To The Next Level” report by the independent research firm Forrester Research, Inc. Multiple Urban Airship customers were featured, and the company’s best practice advice and educational initiatives including its recently published Bad Push Booklet were mentioned.
According to Forrester Research, “Push notifications are the ideal tool to combine mobile marketing’s unique benefits: intimacy, immediacy, and context … Push notifications are less interruptive than SMS, and consumers have the ability to view messages now or later. They also face less risk of being lost, like emails, in a spammed inbox … Push notifications are now a mainstream phenomenon among most European online smartphone app users: 89% of iOS app users receive push notifications, while 83% of Android app users do” (Push Mobile Engagement To The Next Level, Forrester Research, Inc., 10/17/2013).
