Now everyone is on mobiles, so companies are using notifications to spam people.<br />
<br />
The old email spam still exists but the notifications are becoming the new spam.<br />
<br />
Every app from games, shopping and social networks are pushing so many spam notifications. That many are actually turning off notifications all together.<br />
<br />
But unlike the email spam with the notification spam user has so much more power.<br />
<br />
If companies don’t use notifications carefully they will pay a heavy price for it.<br />
<br />
Lets take a small example.<br />
<br />
I have installed about 5 shopping apps on my mobile. I downloaded them to see how easy it was to use them compared to their websites. Most are very good compared to the websites.<br />
<br />
So good job there, but then they started bombarding me with notifications everyday.<br />
<br />
But unlike email notifications which are harder to unsubscribe. Now all i need to do is stop notifications for the app.<br />
<br />
But its so much easier to just delete the app especially on iOS.<br />
<br />
So if companies don’t use notifications carefully, they will pay a heavy price.<br />
<br />
They are wasting an important tool like notifications, use it wisely before you lose your customers all together.</div>
