    On an average, nearly 8%- 10% subscribers opt-out from web push notifications in a year. Web notifications normally don’t experience higher opt-out rates. Generally, people like receiving notifications from the websites they like. They might be interested in the content, offers or the products offered by the website and hence, want to be on the forefront whenever there is any update on the website.
