What type of outbound does Gameball provide?

Outbound provides three different methods of customer messaging

  • Web Messages

Here is a brief on each type of outbound:

Emails

Email marketing is one of the most widely used marketing strategies by all industries to increase sales, conversion rate, and retention.

Unlike other types of outbound, emails are never lost or time framed and so are always accessible by your customer anywhere at any time.

Emails are sent to registered customers (Players) and guests who have made at least one order before because email addresses are required.

As with the other outbound types, you can choose whom of the players should receive specific emails based on their information, segments, or tags. You could also trigger these emails to be sent upon a specific action from a player. Learn how to create an email.

Mobile push

Mobile push is a great tool to reach players at anytime. They are usually used when there are hot deals you want your players to learn about, and to remind them of your platform in general so that they keep revisiting it. Hence, Mobile push contributes to customer retention and sales. Learn how to create a mobile push.

Web Messages

Web messages help you communicate with your customer on spot.

Web Messages are mainly used for up-selling, alerting, or getting the player excited for an action or a challenge throughout their journey on your platform.

A message pops up encouraging the player to complete a challenge, to remind them of the daily deals and offers, and to trigger the player's next move. This feature helps you increase your conversion rate. Learn how to create a web message.
