Ask What's the right mix of promotional and value-added push messages for affiliate traffic?

[Daniel084]

Finding the right balance between promotional and value-added push messages is important for affiliate traffic. Promotional messages, like discounts or special offers, directly encourage clicks and sales. However, sending only these can feel repetitive and may cause people to ignore them. Value-added messages, like tips, guides, or helpful information related to the offer, build trust and keep users interested. A good mix might be sending more value-added messages, say three out of five, to engage users, while using the rest for promotions to drive sales. This keeps the audience informed and excited without overwhelming them with sales pitches. For example, a message about "Top 5 ways to use a product" can pair well with a later discount offer. Experimenting with different ratios and tracking results can help find what works best. What do you think about this balance?

But if you only drop free tips and never mention your offer, nothing sells. A good rule? About 70% helpful stuff, 30% promo. Share hacks, quick tips, or insider info most of the time, and sprinkle in product recommendations here and there. Timing helps too so space out promos and see what sticks. When people feel like you're actually helping them instead of just selling, clicks and sales happen way more naturally

I completely agree! Balancing value-added and promotional push messages is key to keeping users engaged. Mixing in helpful content like tips or guides builds trust and makes the audience more receptive to promotional offers later. The "3 out of 5" ratio sounds like a great starting point, but I'd definitely experiment with different ratios depending on the niche.

I think the right mix depends on your audience, but a good rule I follow is roughly 70% value-added and 30% promotional. You want to give users something useful, like tips, guides, or free resources, so they trust your notifications. Then, sprinkle in promotional messages with clear offers or deals. Too many sales pushes can make people unsubscribe fast, but useful content keeps them engaged and makes them more likely to click on your affiliate offers when you do promote.
