‍

Here's where things get interesting:

OneSignal reports that using segmentation results in 83% higher engagement rates and "Notifications sent using Intelligent delivery perform *better* than notifications that are scheduled for a specific time".

Aampe, on the other hand reports that, by using our AI timing and content optimization layer on top of OneSignal our users are seeing:

📈 250-330% increase in conversions‍

📈 1100% increase in app sessions‍

📉 50% reduction in user churn

‍🤯 All WITHOUT having to set up segments or user journeys! 🤯

...and this is OVER AND ABOVE our customers' baseline metrics (which used segments and intelligent timing).

(Also, Aampe users are also able to draw more useful metrics like app activity rate, add-to-cart rate, and even attributable revenue per message, so you don't have to primarily rely on CTR. 🛒)
