Choose between audience-based and behavior-based targeting
There is a time and a place for broadcast messaging, but if you’re aiming at the highest efficiency of your communication, you have to opt for targeting selected audience segments formed by user behavior or attributes. Pushwoosh Customer Journey Builder allows you to do either with its:
Targeting a segment based on user data may be no less effective. For example, residents of a particular city may respond positively to the local news a media app delivers. At the same time, subscribers of a streaming service may enjoy the “You may also like” content recommended in a push notification.
EXTRA:
Apply even more granular segmentation — use Segment Split to divide your initially targeted audience into narrower segments. By doing so, you can test how different groups react to the same message or, even better, send customized communications to each group.
Leverage the most effective messaging channels for your use case
Modern customers are very selective about the communications they receive from brands. An occasional mis-hit — and they unsubscribe from your messages for good. So you may have to craft a thoughtful communication strategy to avoid losing your engaged audience. Pushwoosh Customer Journey Builder can help you with that.
Coordinate the must-have channels:
Engage your customers with on-point mobile and web push notifications. Choose from the Presets you prepared in advance or customize your content right in the Pushwoosh Customer Journey Builder interface.
Send emails to your subscriber list: use your Presets and optionally personalize them for recipients based on the events they have triggered or not.
Explore the must-try personalization options available in Pushwoosh
Continue your out-of-the-app communication with in-app messages. For example, expand on the details of the offer you pushed or develop an independent activity that will engage your active users.
EXTRA:
Use Webhooks to enable SMS and WhatsApp message sending — deliver transactional alerts and marketing communications via the most user-friendly channels.
You can send SMS right from the interface of Pushwoosh Customer Journey Builder too! Please contact our Sales team to get access to the feature.
Switch between the channels to convey your message effectively
One day a customer is still subscribed to your push notifications; the next day they may opt out. The same may happen to your email subscribers. To avoid sending messages into the void, do a Reachability check: see if it’s even technically possible to contact your target users via the chosen channel — push notifications or email. If they are not reachable by one means of communication, leverage an alternative channel to convey your message.
Track if a user has opened or ignored your push notification or email. Plan two options for further communication: for example, those who have opened your push may receive an in-app message with more detail and those who haven’t clicked on the notification may be sent an email with the same offer.
To increase your odds of getting more conversions, ensure your message has reached every user. Send your push notifications simultaneously to all the devices connected by UserID. With this feature, you can deliver mobile pushes to the phone and the tablet belonging to the same user. In addition, you can convey the message in a web push and, thus, reach the user while they are working with their desktop devices.
Avoid sending too many messages to the same user
When several campaigns run simultaneously, a single user may receive too many messages within a short period. Maybe they have triggered a few events, or they make part of various audience segments — whatever the reason was, the customer might be annoyed to hear from you again and again. To avoid overwhelming users with your communications, set Frequency Capping. Prevent opt-outs and increase your messaging efficiency with a couple of clicks!
Enjoy the benefits of omnichannel messaging
In Pushwoosh Customer Journey Builder, you plan, execute, and receive statistics on omnichannel campaigns all in one place. See the entire picture and coordinate your messages to ensure their highest efficiency.
Personalize your communications
Modern customers expect brand experiences to be tailored to them, and communications are no exception. Therefore, personalization is a prerequisite for your message to break through the noise and nudge your audience to action. Here is how Pushwoosh Customer Journey Builder allows you to achieve this step by step:
Keep user attributes and behavior data up-to-date
Take note of how a customer behaved at a certain point of their journey or what new information you have obtained from them — Update User Profile to make sure you base your segmentation and message copies on the up-to-date user data.
Send your messages at the most relevant time
Specify the moment when your message should appear on users’ screens — use Time Delay to:
- Set a period of time a user will wait before moving to the next stage of your campaign
- Schedule your next message sending for an exact time in the future
- Time your communication to whatever is noted on a particular user’s profile — for example, the date and hour of their next (or past) appointment or the moment when they have triggered a specific event in your app
Messages arriving in the middle of the night can irritate users and make them unsubscribe or even uninstall the app. To avoid losing your audience, pause your communications sending with Silent Hours.

If you are an absolute beginner in the tool, you may appreciate help from our new Assistant.

The tool won’t leave you alone until all the elements of your flow are set up correctly, and you’re ready to launch the campaign.
Among other things, Assistant will remind you to add the Exit from Journey element. Pushwoosh users would often forget to put it at the end of the flow, which prevented campaigns from launching and irritated many of you quite a lot. Now there will be one less thing to be annoyed about in your day as Pushwoosh Customer Journey Builder will remind you of that closing element, so small yet so important.
