Web Push in Brevo: Step-by-Step Guide to Boost Returning Visitors

Web push notifications inside Brevo give you a direct channel to bring visitors back to your website — even after they leave. Unlike email or SMS, web push bypasses inbox filters, doesn’t require a phone number, and appears instantly on the visitor’s browser. This guide breaks down everything you need to set up, optimize, automate, and scale web push campaigns using Brevo.

Web push is one of the highest-performing re-engagement channels because users don’t need to share personal data to subscribe.

Why Web Push Matters for Growth

Most websites lose 70–90% of their traffic forever because visitors don’t return. Web push gives you a frictionless way to capture these visitors and bring them back when they're most likely to buy, read, or engage.

Benefits of Web Push vs Email & SMS

If your site has traffic but low return visits, web push is the fastest fix.

How Brevo Web Push Works

Brevo uses a browser-based permission flow where visitors see a quick opt-in prompt. Once approved, they are added to your push subscriber list, and you can send them campaigns or automated workflows.
