Push notifications with images get way more engagement.
It’s as simple as that. The real question right now is…
How do you send push notifications with images? It’s actually really easy. And that’s what this article is all about.
Every push notification has two types of images:
- The site image
- The large image
The site image is typically your brand mark. It helps your subscribers recognize your brand when they receive your push notifications. The large image, on the other hand, is meant to make your notifications more “click-worthy”.
In this article, we’ll show you how to add both types of images to your push notifications. We’re going to do it using PushEngage in this article. PushEngage is the #1 push notification software in the market. But it’s more or less the same for any vendor you use.
