The absolute most annoying thing a company can do, is contact me after I abandon a cart about the items in that cart. If it’s a text message you will never get a single cent from me again.

Precisely so. If I abandon a cart, it's almost always because something made me decide not to go through with the purchase. If I've left the site because I had to deal with something more important at the moment, I'll be back without a reminder. Unless I get a reminder, then I won't be back at all.

We often explore abandoned carts and how to recover them using text messages. But let’s take a step back and address a fundamental question: Why do customers abandon their carts in the first place?

Our research has uncovered the top 5 reasons why customers abandon their carts, and in this article, we’ll not only explain these reasons but also provide actionable solutions to reduce your cart abandonment rates.

Sometimes as you say in your article life happens and I have to abandon a cart with the intention to return later. What will make me not return or ever use a site again is receiving a reminder of items in a cart as your service provides. Those messages are nothing short of spam and I refuse to do business with spammers.
