Push notifications
Send push notifications to clients through your branded app.
Push notifications are short messages that appear on a client's phone screen even when the app isn't open. They're a high-visibility channel for time-sensitive announcements.

Requirements
- Your studio must have the Arketa branded mobile app
- Clients must have notifications enabled for your app on their device

Push vs SMS vs email
| Channel | Best for | Requires |
|---|---|---|
| Push | Flash sales, class openings, last-minute changes | Branded app, client opt-in |
| SMS | High-urgency personal messages | Marketing Suite, client opt-in |
| Detailed content, newsletters, promotions | Marketing Suite recommended |
Push notifications get the highest open rates of any channel — but only reach clients who have your branded app and have opted in to notifications.
