PushOwl is user-friendly. What I loved was that I didn't have to watch a video or take a course to understand [how it works].

Challenge

Maniology was looking to expand its customer touchpoints to reach its vast audience consistently.

While the team built an engaged email subscriber list and a dedicated social media following, they wanted to fill the gap for shoppers who don’t check other marketing platforms.

I have been aware of this channel for some time, but it was during the Black Friday sale last year that I tried it out. So, I reached for a PushOwl trial ...[]... I was surprised at how our customers took to it, and we were able to build a great subscriber base through that. We liked how easy it is to use, so we added PushOwl to our marketing strategy.

Any way to get in touch with customers is a good touchpoint for a growing e-commerce brand. Just like email and SMS, web push is a unique channel for Maniology, letting them capture shoppers who weren’t subscribed to other communication channels.
