Product Details

What is Airship?

Mobile app customers are 3x more valuable than non-app customers on average. Airship, the mobile app experience company, enables brands to capture that value.



Airship App Experience Platform

The Airship platform provides an end-to-end solution for capturing value across the entire customer app lifecycle — from acquisition and activation to engagement and loyalty. It starts with Airship's app store optimization (ASO) solutions promoting app discovery and downloads. Then Airship's unified cross-channel journey orchestration, intelligent content creation, and experimentation solutions allow app teams to bridge inside-the-app experiences with outside-the-app messaging to capture customer value everywhere. Marketers and product managers get work done in minutes instead of months with Airship's no-code native app experience editor — bypassing developer support and app updates.


Airship Customers

From world-leading brands to up-and-coming innovators, Airship customers like Chipotle, The Home Depot, Air France, NBCUniversal, Allstate, and Vodafone understand two important things: the huge value potential of mobile apps and what it takes to capture that value.

With the momox app, users can easily and quickly sell their second hand books & media and fashion to us. We use Airship to send campaign & content push messages, as well as push automations (with and without voucher - generic and personalized) and setup in-app messages. Target is to get loyal customers who sell regularly over our platform.
  • Simple setup of push messages + automations
  • Most important push + reporting features available
  • Friendly and individual customer support
  • Regular launch + optimization of features
  • High customer engagement over Airship
  • Voucher handling (for voucher cases which can appear several times in customer life, workaround is possible but laborious)
  • Automatic push retargeting can be improved
  • Automated AB-Testing reminder setup
Airship is the perfect choice for all companies that want to regularly reach and engage their app users via push and in-app messages and push automations. It is simple in handling and delivers all important and up-to-date functions and features (also predictive & AI features).
  • CRM revenue uplift of 20% (from 2021 to 2022)
Within Airship we have a considered but wide option of customer data in form of attributes, events & more which we use to build personalized and individual app and push experiences. Every customer is targeted on his or her preferred channel.
Airship's experimentation feature helped us to optimize our best performing push automations as well as to proof the incremental impact of our push campaigns.

We use Urban Airship for push notifications on breaking news stories. It's used by a few members of our editorial staff. When news breaks and we get a story on our site, we send out the push notifications to bring readers back to our content. It helps drive traffic and engagement.
  • It's very fast. As soon as we hit send, it arrives on our phone and tablet apps immediately.
  • The interface is clear. We generally copy and paste the headline right into the box. The font and font size, along with the background, make it easy to read so that we avoid any typos. That's important because we're working quickly.
  • It gives you good and usable analytics to track engagement.
  • It's 100 percent reliable. We've never had an issue with it.
  • The interface can be a little confusing. In the upper right corner of your dashboard, you'll see "New Push Message" and "New Message" ... Seems odd to have two choices. Then, after you push "New Message" you can copy and paste your text, but then there are about three more buttons before you get to the point of sending it. That just might be how it's integrated with our app so other markets might be different. But, if you have the instructions, it's fairly quick.
  • Again, this could be just the way it's integrated with our app, but when a user clicks on the alert on their phones, it goes to the web site and not to the specific story. So, we have to make sure the story is in a prominent place on our site (Latest News, mainstage).
  • It would be nice to have small photos in our push notifications.
It's well-suited when you want your content to get out quickly. It's best for breaking or big news. We do weigh what types of stories we want to push. We don't want to overuse it, but we want to take advantage. We don't find it appropriate using it between the hours of 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. We sent out a push one time around midnight, and we got a comment back that it woke somebody up and scared them.
  • It's had a positive impact on engagement.
  • It helps lend credibility to our product given that major sites like CNN, AP, ESPN, etc. have push notifications.
  • I have not come across any negative impacts.
  • Spreed
There was a time when we went off Urban Airship and went to Spreed. We were using Spreed's app, so there was much better integration on push notifications. The push notification took readers directly into the story. When we moved from Spreed to our own native app, we went back to Urban Airship.
