Push notification is a worth-considering marketing tool since it doesn’t require complex treatment like email marketing or SEO. You just need to create good content so that your new visitors will have a reason to be your loyal visitors.

Push notification also doesn’t require complex technical settings. A push notification plugin will ask your new visitors to accept the subscription request. Once they do, the plugin will send push notifications to their browser/device until they block it.
