Mobile marketing can frustrate customers when phone messages promote products, offers, or reminders that do not match the customer’s needs, location, purchase history, or buying intent.
A customer may feel annoyed when a mobile offer promotes something unrelated to what they need or plan to buy.
Product suggestions can become irritating when they keep showing items the customer has already rejected, already bought, or never showed interest in.
A local promotion can waste the customer’s attention when it is sent to someone who is too far away to visit the store or use the service.
Irrelevant mobile messages can make the business look careless because the customer may feel the brand is using their phone only to push promotions.
