Sendbird Notification Center – the highest performing customer engagement UX

Today, digital businesses worldwide rely on Customer Engagement Platforms to engage with customers at different stages of the customer journey across different channels such as Push, Email, SMS, and WhatsApp. While marketing teams are aiming to target the right user with the right message at the right time, the efficacy of the channel in which the message is delivered ultimately determines the quality of engagement and business outcome.

Marketers and Product teams are on a continuous search for better channels for their messages that can drive higher engagement and intended desired actions. Today, customer engagement platforms use Push, Email, SMS, and WhatsApp. While each of these channels has worked in the past, they are past their prime and rapidly losing effectiveness in an evolving digital world:

• Push notifications – With numerous apps vying for customers’ attention – where an average smartphone user receives 46 push notifications a day – it can make it easy for users to dismiss notifications from the lock screen, making important notifications easy to miss. Because push notifications are fleeting, once dismissed they are gone forever.
• SMS – While SMSs persist on users’ mobile devices and have higher open rates – SMSs are not categorized and give way to a cluttered user experience, placing the burden on the user to find the right message to act on at the right time. Increasingly, SMS has also become rife with phishing scams and spam raising concerns over its effectiveness as a marketing channel.
• Email – Average email click rates have dropped to 1.39%, forcing marketers to rethink their channel mix and consider new channels to allocate their spend on.
• WhatsApp – While WhatsApp has relatively high open rates, WhatsApp inboxes have also increasingly begun to get flooded with spam messages, as multiple brands vie for user attention, creating channel fatigue.

With so many options to deliver notifications, the question still remains out at large – is there a better way to engage customers in a user-friendly, and memorable way that inspires action?

Now there is.
