Push notification segmentation that actually helps

Sending everything to everyone is how lists go quiet. A few simple segments — by device, language and how recently someone visited — make every notification feel more relevant.

Updated By the Pusharoo team
In short
  • Pusharoo segments by website, device (desktop, Android, iPhone/iPad), language, seen in the last N days, inactive N+ days, and joined in the last N days.
  • Filters stack; save a segment and reuse it on any campaign or schedule.
  • Start with 3–4 segments; more isn’t better if each one is tiny.
  • Unlimited segments — no plan gate.

One brand

Website = one store, when you run several.

Common mistakes

  • Segments so narrow they reach 12 people.
  • Sending win-back messages to people who visited yesterday.
  • Ignoring timezone: schedule sends for a sensible local hour (Pusharoo stores each subscriber’s timezone).

Put segments to work

Pick a segment when composing a campaign, or schedule it for later. Stats show sent, expired and clicked for each send so you can compare segments.

How big should a segment be?

Big enough that results mean something. As a rule of thumb, aim for a few hundred subscribers per segment before comparing click rates. Smaller lists are fine for targeted news (a local store’s regulars), just don’t draw conclusions from 20 clicks.

Segmentation without tracking

Pusharoo segments use what the browser already tells us — device type, language, timezone, when the subscription was created and last seen. No cookies, no cross-site tracking, no personal data. That keeps it simple and privacy-friendly (see privacy).

Questions

How many segments can I create?

As many as you like. Pusharoo has no segment limit.

Can I target by page visited or cart contents?

Not as a built-in filter today. Use the JavaScript API, events and webhooks to connect your own logic.
