Setting up your Interests and Categories is a crucial step in activating the power and flexibility of Enhanced Push Notifications. It is also important to have them setup before your App is published, so that when your users open it for the first time they are greeted with the personalized notification settings they are expecting.
Which do you think looks better?Quick Tips
- Interests are topics that an audience member can opt in to as many as they wish.
- Each Category has a list of options where only one applies to any given audience member such as where they live.
- We recommend having 10 or fewer Interests and Categories total to avoid overwhelming users.
- Use short Category labels so that the entire label can be seen.
- Don’t get TOO personal with your Category options, as many people value their privacy online.
Here are some suggestions that might make filling out your Interests and Categories a little easier.
