Much attention is given to ecommerce sites, blogs, and SaaS companies (among others) when it comes to web push notifications, and rightfully so. However, there are many of you in the education sector wondering what options you have for engaging your subscribers. You will be happy to know that you have a lot of powerful options that will engage your audience- from prospective students, to current students, teachers, administrators, alumni, parents, and more.

Today we will be discussing some of the best ways that colleges and universities (and related education organizations) can utilize web push notifications. No matter the industry, web push shines as a cost-effective, highly targeted, fast delivering, option for engaging subscribers no matter where they are. Let’s see how you can harness their power for your website!

Top Web Push Notifications for Colleges and Universities
1. Class-Specific Alerts
For students and teachers who are active in a particular class, notifications specific to class-related activity is a great way to keep everyone informed and engaged. These could be more general class announcements (say if class time or paraguay telemarketing data location changes, or if new grades are posted) or can be more specific or triggered notifications based on activity, like posting a new discussion on the class message board.



With online classes more popular than ever before, effectively engaging students can be a challenge. Web push notifications can help remind students about new messages or discussion posts that could otherwise easily be forgotten about.

Bottom line: Utilize your web push notifications to keep students and teachers organized, informed, and engaged.

2. Triggered Notifications for Tests
Big test coming up? Whether you are a university or a test preparation organization, reminding students about important dates is something you can easily set up with a triggered web push notification.



This is especially important for students preparing for college. Between AP tests, the SAT, and the ACT, there are a lot of dates to remember. A helpful push reminding a student that their test is coming up can be just the reminder they need to finish studying and make plans for test day.

Don’t forget about graduate students as well! Reminders about important exams like the LSAT, MCAT, or GRE are a great way to ensure nobody forgets a date.

If there are big deadlines approaching you can also remind interested subscribers. For example, why not target any subscriber who viewed the SAT sign up page that the last day to sign up for an exam is coming up?

Bottom line: Keep students aware of important dates so that they don’t miss important exams or deadlines.
