Kifaru Spam

I've been getting spammed by their text message ads as well. I tried to delete and block but they kept coming through. Definitely annoying.

Almost every company has abandon cart and abandoned browsing emails being sent automatically when you are on their email list. All you have to do is unsubscribe. There is no need to block anything. You may seem annoyed but it's a vital marketing function to recover sales.

If you are subscribed to texts, all you do is reply STOP. That goes for literally any marketing text message you get. It automatically unsubscribes you from the text list.

Same with seeing ads on socials after visiting a website. None of that is being personally sent to you by the company. That is a common misconception. META (Facebook/Instagram), Google, Youtube, etc. use algorithms to show you things you are interested in. The company pays for this, but it's an extremely important marketing tool.

Companies that don't do these things will not survive long with the amount of competition there is.

Just my two cents.

I have unsubscribed from the same companies email multiple times and still get crap from them. They have lost my business forever. Text seems to be more effective in stopping the spam.

To me, it comes across as desperate. I will not chase the customers in my business, and it really is off putting when a business lowers themselves to chase me as a customer. It lowers their reputation in my eyes.

To me, it comes across as desperate. I will not change the customers in my business, and it really is off putting when a business lowers themselves to chase me as a customer. It lowers their reputation in my eyes.

I see your side for sure. I don't think any business has the intention of annoying a customer. They are just using standard marketing tactics that are proven to work. Obviously it's not going to work for everyone, but you would be surprised the number of conversions they lead to.

Or maybe, just MAYBE don’t log in or put something in the cart unless you’re going to buy. Mind frickin blown.

I never logged in to their site, nor did I put anything in my cart.

I hit the site to check a price or size on a piece of gear and got like 2 or 3 texts and 2 emails over the next 36 hours

Texting back "STOP" worked to stop that and unsubbing from emails seems to have helped
