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.
Normal Click Rates
Rate | Status | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
1-3% | Typical | Normal for social proof notifications |
3-5% | Good | Above average performance |
5%+ | Excellent | Outstanding engagement |
Below 1% | May need optimization | Consider improving messages |
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
- 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
