Push traffic faces new challenges in 2024. Expert affiliates talk about new Chrome regulations and a threat of increased competition in the market. But the push format develops. Now affiliates have a chance to test iOS Calendar push traffic, outrun competitors, and boost ROI.
This article teaches what Calendar push is and how to drive the best traffic first.
What Is iOS Calendar Push Traffic?
iOS Calendar push traffic is a new ad format for 2023 and 2024. It is displayed in a Calendar app on iOS and macOS in the form of a scheduled event. Calendar ads have a title, link, and description (optionally).
As well as for an upcoming event, users can see reminders of it from the Calendar app. Sounds pretty cool, right? Though this kind of advertising seems pretty aggressive, it is exactly what usually performs best with push traffic.
According to the RichAds numbers, iOS Calendar Push traffic sources convert similarly to the New sources (with recently added audiences) where the average CR is traditionally high.
Let’s see how calendar push ads work in more detail.
How iOS Calendar Push Traffic Works
To see your ads, a user must subscribe to receive notifications themselves and can unsubscribe at any time. It’s the same principle as for web push traffic.
After the opt-in, users see your ad as a scheduled event in a calendar. Also, they can receive alerts about it from the Calendar app on their desktop.
How Calendar Push Ads Look Like
The image is the main visual difference between web push and calendar push ads. In both desktop and mobile devices, calendar notification ads have no icon or main image. What do advertisers bet on in this case?
- Title
It is the main component to attract attention and the most important part of your campaign. The title is what the user sees first in their calendar and reminders. It needs to be catchy and promising to lure a user. We recommend testing different angles of titles (not less than 5) for maximum conversion.
- URL
Don’t forget to paste a link to your landing page. It can be found in the description of the calendar push ad. As a landing page is the second important thing to attract customers’ attention, use the best practices for landing pages.
- Text
A short ad copy is displayed in the Notes of the event. Here you can attract users with some special bonuses or describe more what’s your offer is about.

Benefits of Calendar Push Ads for Advertisers
New ad formats are always promising more profit. It’s reasonable: the market is less saturated and constantly growing, the fresh audience, and the advertising more catchy. But what exactly makes iOS Calendar push ads so special?

- Ads are delivered on a locked screen (mobile devices). More visibility than ever before.

iOS Calendar Push Traffic in Affiliate Marketing
Push traffic has been on the market since 2018. Now we can say that push notifications advertising has luckily overcome Chrome 80 updates and even market changes due to Covid. Although it has become more and more popular, new push types appear, like an in-page push in 2020 and a calendar push in 2021. It allows affiliate marketers to cherry-pick from the new advertising format first and drive conversions from the fresh audience.
