This is where MoEngage comes in. We build User profiles based on Behavior and Contextual information including location. We then segment the users into User-centric segments like Engaged users, High spenders, Lapsed users, etc. Our platform then allows the App Companies to reach out to their user segments via Push Notifications/In-App Messaging/Emails, driving Engagement & Conversions.
