Open rate is the main KPI to know if your campaign successfully engaged your users.

There are several keys to create a campaign that your users will open.

The targeting, the timing, and the content need to be customized to fit your audience. Usually, users prefer rich push (e.g. with an image attached) and like the wording to be short and illustrated with emojis.

Find some tips here to make sure your open rates always get better!
