1. A system configured to provide external notifications to users of a game, wherein the users include a first user, the system comprising:
one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:
obtain information regarding an occurrence of a first trigger event in the game, wherein the first trigger event is associated with the first user;
determine a first incentive offer for inclusion in a first notification to the first user, wherein the first incentive offer includes an offer for a first virtual item, and wherein selection of the first virtual item is based on the first trigger event, such that the first virtual item is contextual with the first trigger event; and
transmit the first notification to the first user via a first electronic communication medium that is external to the game.
