- Urgency: Time-sensitive notifications deepen a user's need to interact with an app. Power words include: alert, breaking, critical, deadline, reminder.

Leanplum found that power words have substantial impact on critical app metrics. Publisher's Clearing House (PCH), a gaming and sweepstakes company, launched a series of A/B tests experimenting with copy to drive more mobile growth and app revenue. PCH learned that the closer an app user is to churning, the more urgent a tone is needed to re-engage them. The results were impressive: PCH saw a 30 percent increase in retention.
"We've found that power words have a big impact on user engagement," said Brooke O'Keefe, Associate Director of Integrated Marketing at PCH. "They help us capture user attention and stand apart from other apps' messaging. Leanplum makes it super easy to A/B test elements such as tone, copy length, and personalization, which substantially boosts engagement."
"We are making it easier for marketers to move past the generic blast approach and to treat each user as an individual," said Momchil Kyurkchiev, Leanplum Co-founder and CEO. "This research illustrates which specific words resonate with app users on an emotional level, a requirement for creating meaningful connections. Including these words in your push notification campaigns can lead to more engagement, retention, and revenue."
Leanplum's mobile marketing platform tracks 14 billion user actions each day and sends 4.8 billion push notifications per month. This vast source of data gives Leanplum valuable insights that mobile marketers can leverage to improve effectiveness of their marketing campaigns.
