Low engagement: Notifications show but no clicks

If notifications appear but visitors aren't clicking, improve message text, add compelling call-to-action buttons, test different positions, adjust timing, and ensure notifications are relevant to the page content.


Low click rate is normal (1-5% is typical). Improve by: Better message text, clear call-to-action button, relevant redirect URL, testing different messages, and ensuring notifications are relevant to page.

Why Low Clicks


  • Visitors may just read and not click
  • Notifications serve as social proof (don't always need clicks)
  • Message may not be compelling enough
  • Button/redirect may not be relevant


How to Improve Clicks


1. Better Message Text:

  • Create urgency ("Just bought", "Limited time")
  • Use specific details (product name, location)
  • Keep it short and clear
  • Test different messages


2. Clear Call-to-Action:

  • Button text: "View Product", "Buy Now", "Shop Now"
  • Make button visible and clickable
  • Use action-oriented text


3. Relevant Redirect:

  • Redirect to product page (if showing product)
  • Redirect to collection (if showing category)
  • Make redirect relevant to notification


4. Message Type:

  • Use "Text + Button" or "Text + Image + Button"
  • Text-only notifications aren't clickable
  • Button makes it clear it's clickable


5. Targeting:

  • Show on relevant pages (product notifications on product pages)
  • Match notification to page content
  • Better relevance = more clicks


Testing


  • Try different messages
  • Test different button text
  • A/B test campaigns
  • Monitor click rates in Events page


Best Practices:
  • Don't expect high click rates (social proof works even without clicks)
  • Focus on Messages Shown (visibility matters)
  • Optimize for engagement, not just clicks
  • Test and iterate


Next Steps:

  • Review your message text
  • Check button and redirect settings
  • Test different messages
  • Monitor click rates over time
  • See "How do I customize my notification message?" for tips
