Step 3: Push notifications
What are push notifications?
Picture this: You’re running your errands, sipping your latte, when you hear a ping! Your phone lights up with a notification. It’s not any notification - it’s a tempting offer from your favorite Starbucks, enticing you with a limited-time deal. It captures your attention right away.
And you know what? That’s exactly how push notifications can work their charm for your boutique’s customers as well. They lure them in with irresistible offers and keep them engaged with all your store has to offer.
That’s why push notifications are so effective. They catch your customers' attention even when they’re not browsing your store.
So, what exactly are these push notifications? They’re short, pop-up messages sent to mobile devices that trigger immediate customer engagement.
They include everything you need to be convincing:
Title
Message
Media
Logos
Your boutique’s URL
You can send push notifications for instant updates about new products, marketing promotions, sales events, and more.

So, when you target segmented customers, you’re hitting the bullseye with your marketing efforts. You’re reaching the right people with the right message at the right time.

This means, sending super-customized push campaigns to first-time shoppers, high-value customers, retarget high-intent visitors, etc.
Automate push notifications
You’re the proud owner of a boutique, where every piece of clothing tells a story and every customer is like family. But running a boutique isn’t just about curating the perfect collection, it’s also about delivering customer experiences that keep them coming back for more.
That’s where automation comes in.
Automated push notifications allow you to set up triggers based on specific events or actions taken by users. Such as when someone adds an item to their cart or makes a purchase. By doing this, you’ll send notifications at the exact moment when they’re most relevant and likely to create an impact.
When a customer adds that beautiful scarf to their cart and then gets distracted, you can step in with a gentle reminder. It’s all about engaging with your customers at various points in their journey, ensuring that your boutique stays on top of their minds. With Vajro, it’s possible to send automatic push notifications to recover abandoned carts, welcome new users, and revive inactive users. You can also automate push notifications by creating dynamic segments that update automatically. This ensures that anyone meeting the specified criteria in the future will receive the relevant notification.
