Dear Marketing Teams,

Please do not abuse the push notification channels in your mobile
apps to upsell me on deals, tell me about promotions, or gather net
promoter scores.

I promise, advertising to me on a channel that I cannot filter out,
easily unsubscribe from, or otherwise control beyond a binary
"**on**/**off**" is a surefire way to get me to disable
notifications or delete your app entirely.

And if you still choose to sully the value I get out of
transactional notifications with ads and other non-transactional
communications, then don't be surprised when I choose to take my
business and my attention elsewhere.

Do better.

Sincerely,
Me
