In the rapidly evolving world of digital marketing, it's not enough to follow trends — you need to quickly adapt to new browser policies, platform restrictions, and changing user behavior. Classic push notifications, once a standard for re-engagement, are losing ground: users are increasingly blocking them, especially on iOS, and fatigue from constant subscription prompts is growing. Taking their place is a promising format — In-Page Push (IPP).

Let’s explore what In-Page Push is, why it’s gaining momentum, and how you can use it effectively today.

What is In-Page Push (IPP)?

In-Page Push is an ad format that visually resembles classic push notifications (icon, title, message), but appears directly on the website, not as a browser or system-level alert. This means:

• No subscription required

• Compatible with all browsers and devices, including iOS and macOS

• Displayed instantly, while the user is browsing

Typically, IPP appears in a corner of the screen or as a floating message. It’s easily dismissible and draws attention without disrupting the user experience.

Why In-Page Push is the future of Push Advertising

1. Bypasses Browser Restrictions

Modern browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Safari are tightening push notification permissions. Many users block subscription requests altogether. IPP avoids this by operating entirely within the webpage, no permissions needed.

2. iOS Compatibility

iOS never supported traditional push notifications from the web. In-Page Push works seamlessly on iPhones and iPads because it’s displayed on the website itself. This opens up access to a massive mobile audience.

3. Better user experience

Unlike pop-ups or redirects, IPP appears subtly and doesn’t interrupt the content flow. It’s easy to close and doesn’t feel aggressive — this improves user trust and boosts click-through rates.

4. High Engagement and CTR

Since IPP appears while the user is actively browsing, attention levels are high. Combined with targeting and a compelling message, the result is strong performance across many verticals.

Best Practices for Using In-Page Push

Limit frequency and timing

• Use frequency capping to control how often users see your IPP ads — for example, once or twice per session.

• Show the ad with a delay (15–30 seconds) or after user engagement like scrolling to increase relevance.

Target the right offers

• Align ad content with your audience’s interests.

• For example: iGaming offers for gaming users, crypto or investment offers for financial audiences.

Keep the design clean and native

• Use minimalist, native-looking designs that feel trustworthy.

• Avoid flashy animations or misleading visuals. Stay clear, concise, and professional.

A/B Test creatives

• Experiment with different icons, headlines, CTA copy, message length, and positions on the page.

• Small changes can lead to big improvements in CTR and conversion rates.

Monitor device and browser performance

• Performance can vary by OS or browser — track results by segment and adjust bidding and placements accordingly.
