Opt-In (Getting Subscribers)
Before you can communicate with users via push notifications, you need to get their permission first (they need to opt in, or subscribe). Opt-In Rate is one of the most important metrics - the success of your marketing communications depends on how many subscribers you have.
To get more subscribers, show in-app messages to your new users, explaining the benefits of receiving your push notifications. Also, allow users to choose the topics they want to be updated on. This way, they will see the value of your messages and know that they won’t be spammed with irrelevant content.
