- Mobile marketing can frustrate customers when they cannot easily choose the type, timing, or frequency of messages they receive from a business.
- Customers may feel trapped when a promotional SMS or WhatsApp message does not give a clear way to stop future messages.
- A customer may dislike receiving every type of message when they only wanted order updates, delivery alerts, or account reminders.
- App notifications can feel harder to manage when the customer has to search through phone settings instead of changing preferences inside the app.
- Customers may block the number, mute notifications, unsubscribe, or uninstall the app when they do not have simple control over mobile messages.
