The Problem

As a digital advertising-driven site, SportsCafe used traditional means of driving traffic: social media and Google AdWords among others. With 90% of their traffic being from anonymous visitors, the SportsCafe team wanted to do more to increase traffic and create a pool of engaged visitors who would keep coming back to the site - especially on mobile devices.

The Problem

“As a digital content service provider, MoEngage Web Push has significantly increased our ability to send targeted notifications to our users. I can push breaking news articles to cricket enthusiasts while sending tactical football analysis to users who are into detailed statistics.”
