Urban Airship: incorporating push notifications improved Airbnb’s booking speed 8x

Enabling push notifications in a mobile app can double its engagement level and user retention according to Urban Airship.  The startup, which provides in-app purchase and push notification services to other mobile developers, is touting the results from another growing startup — travel accommodation booking service Airbnb — as proof that push can have dramatic results.

Airbnb has been working with Urban Airship since December 2011, offering users the chance to receive push notifications whenever they receive a message about a potential rental.
