If you are a VWO Engage user, you can use <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/vwo.com\/engage\/push-notifications\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the Segment Creator<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to automate this process.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Here are a few segmentation examples that you can use:<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>1) Device specific:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> You can create separate categories for your iOS and Android users or Desktop &amp; Mobile users.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>2) Location-based: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can create location-based buckets to give more personalized offers. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For instance, let\u2019s say your business is based out of California. So, you can run location-specific free shipping offers for your audience in California and drive more sales.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>3) Time Zone specific:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Just like location, you can also be mindful of your segment&#8217;s time zone.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Let\u2019s say you send out a push notification at 3 pm, your time zone, however if your customer is +9 hours away, you\u2019ll end up sending them a notification while they\u2019re sleeping. A great way to avoid this is by creating segments as per different time zones.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>4) Shopping patterns<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Let\u2019s suppose you\u2019ve launched your Winter Collection and want to know how much of your users are interested in it.

You can send a push notification with holiday deals for furniture. While one CTA says <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Shop Now<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, the second CTA can say <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">All Offers<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, which leads them to all holiday deals.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Remember:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Be mindful of the CTA character limit of 12.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"js-cro-guide-subheading gtm_heading \" data-level=\"level2\" data-menu=\"2) Increase excitement with FOMO\" id=\"2-increase-excitement-with-fomo\" data-menu-id=\"2-increase-excitement-with-fomo\" style=\"text-align:left\">2) Increase excitement with FOMO<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Time-bound deals are a great way to get your customers excited to shop from you!
