Agenda
1. Why bother with push in the first place?

2. Identify a service that works for you and implement it.

3. Use push notifications effectively.

Why Push?
1. If used correctly, it can provide value to your
application.

2. Push drives all of those awesome* analytical stats like
consecutive days used.

3. It really isn’t hard to implement, even for advanced
solutions.
