Send Price Drop Notifications Using Catalog Data

Price Drop Notifications in Your Engagement Strategy

Delight your customers with personalized price-drop notifications by leveraging Braze Catalogs. Price drop notifications are an effective strategy for driving sales, as they enable customers to capitalize on current deals, increasing conversion rates and reducing cart abandonment.

By combining Catalog data with Braze user data, you can trigger timely and personalized price drop notifications for products that users have shown interest in. This approach ensures that your customers receive relevant updates, encouraging them to complete their purchases and enhancing their overall shopping experience.
