Get Started

If you’re running push ads, you already know they’re a marketer’s best “push” to profits. 🚀

The trick, though, isn’t just launching campaigns… it’s knowing what to push. Some verticals click with audiences instantly, while others… well, let’s just say they get left on “read.”

Keep reading as we’ll break down the best-performing verticals, why they work, and how you can ride the wave to higher CTRs and conversions without wasting ad spend.

But first...

What does push advertising looks like?

Push ads are built from a few key elements that work together to grab attention and drive user action in your campaigns:

  1. Headline: A short, bold line crafted to instantly catch attention and spark curiosity.
  2. Message text: A concise description of the offer, giving users just enough detail to decide if they’re interested.
  3. Icon: A smaller supporting image, often used to reinforce or complement the main visual.
  4. Image (optional, on classic push): A large visual that highlights what the offer is about. On mobile devices, this image stays hidden until the user expands the notification.
Web Push vs. In-Page Push Ads

Web Push: Delivered directly to a user’s device (desktop or mobile) even when they’re not browsing. Great for reaching engaged audiences and boosting return visits.

In-Page Push: Shown as native-like ads inside a webpage, visible to all visitors without needing subscription or browser permissions. Ideal for broader reach and instant visibility.

1. Utilities

Utility apps (VPNs, cleaners, antiviruses, browsers, battery savers) continue to dominate because they solve immediate problems.

That is why push ads fit perfectly, for grabbing attention when users want quick fixes. High visibility, strong CTR, and low costs on both desktop and mobile.

Mobile campaigns are particularly effective, with creative strategies such as leveraging popular TV shows to highlight VPN benefits (using non-copyrighted visuals).

  • 💡 Colors matter: Red (danger/alert), green (success/clean), blue (trust/security).
  • 💡 Focus on benefit-driven, not scare-only messaging.
  • 💡 Mimic native phone notifications for higher CTR.

2. Dating & Adult

Push Ads are highly effective in these verticals because they feel like direct, personal messages, perfect for private communication.

Success comes from creating ads that mimic natural interaction: use authentic photos of real people (not models or reused images) and keep the tone conversational. The more genuine the notification looks, the higher the chance of conversions.

  • 💡 Do localized + curiosity-driven push ads, with a strong visual hook (face/emoji) + urgency.
  • 💡 Mobile-first: Push notifications feel more personal on phones.
  • 💡 Evenings & weekends usually outperform daytime (when people feel lonely/relaxed).

3. Sweepstakes

Sweeps remain a classic, but in 2025 they’re getting more interactive. Push campaigns that tease instant gratification see massive CTRs, especially in GEOs where users are highly responsive to “win now” angles.

  • 💡 Use localized currency & prizes (e.g., “£500 Amazon voucher” for UK vs. “₱10,000 cash” for PH).
  • 💡 Evenings & weekends see higher engagement.
  • 💡 Avoid false “guaranteed win” wording if restricted in certain GEOs.

4. Finance

The finance niche is booming, and push ads are driving serious conversions in 2025. With global interest in side income streams, crypto, and investing apps, users are quick to engage with short, urgent push notifications.

Finance push campaigns need balance trust, authority, and urgency (instead of hype and thrill like sweeps, casino, or dating).

  • 💡 Conversions spike when you show tangible benefits (e.g., % savings, bonus amounts, approval times).
  • 💡 Finance offers (loans, credit cards, trading, insurance, crypto, banking apps) often convert better in higher-income regions. (Tier 1 & Tier 2 geos)
  • 💡 Finance campaigns often convert better when tied to knowledge (“Learn how to invest $100 wisely”).

5. Betting & iGaming

Betting is a lucrative and consistently popular vertical with a large audience, but it’s more challenging than other affiliate marketing niches because of the complex regulations across different regions.

The key is creating notifications that grab attention while staying relevant and timely. The key is mixing compliance, timing, and psychology.

  • 💡 Mobile performs best: users check notifications quickly and impulsively.
  • 💡 Push before/during major sporting events (e.g., Champions League, NFL, World Cup).
  • 💡 Focus on countries where online betting is popular and legally allowed. (Tier 2–3 often works better due to lower competition and high engagement.)

Push Campaigns Best Practices:

1. Use the right tokens
You can use the [country], [region], [city], [platform], [os], [browser] Mondiad tokens in the title and description of your ad creatives and targeted each user will see their own values when viewing your ads.

2. Bid smartly
Today’s advertising tools are built to help you achieve stronger campaign results while saving both time and money. Real-time optimization takes the guesswork out of bidding.

Performance models like TargetCPA use your campaign’s historical data and machine learning to predict the likelihood of conversions and automatically adjust your bids for peak efficiency. The result? Lower costs, less manual effort, fewer errors, and better outcomes.

3. Test Creatives
Trying different images, headlines, and angles is key: small changes can make a big difference in performance.

4. Avoid Oversaturation
Sending too many notifications risks annoying users and may lead them to unsubscribe.

5. Mind Your Timing
Don’t just focus on how often you send notifications... when you send them matters too. Test different times of day and days of the week to discover when your audience is most likely to engage. The right timing can significantly boost clicks and conversions.

6. Funnel Strategies
The classic push flow [notification → click → landing page → conversion] remains effective in 2025. But many affiliates now use push in multi-step strategies.

7. Data is your best friend
Tracking your ads lets you see what’s working and what’s not. By monitoring performance, you can optimize campaigns, improve ROI, and make smarter decisions for future ads.

8. Leverage seasonality
Align your campaigns with holidays, events, or seasonal trends to capture timely interest. Seasonal relevance can boost engagement, clicks, and overall campaign performance.
