With the advent of the internet revolution, the marketing channels used for advertising and targeting potential clients broadened. The rules of the game had to be according to the rules of the arena. Users could now be on the same page with you on a real time basis and that is exactly what the dexterity of the latter depended on.
Among all the channels, the scope of one surpassed all others. The user, most of the times, will access the internet through a browser and if he/she can be targeted for that platform, then half the battle would be won. Web push notifications were devised to address that necessity.
Web push notifications can be delivered anytime, on any site and with any level of personification. Segmentation reached a whole new level with this channel. User engagement including

Personalization also plays a really key role here. If the user is served with a
