How to turn off Samsung's spammy Galaxy Apps notifications on any Galaxy S or Note model

Unfortunately, Samsung turns out to adopt an aggressive approach in promoting featured items in the Galaxy Apps store. By default, Samsung's app store will sometimes launch notifications that promote 'featured' apps.
One way of stopping what many could see as an abusive practice is to completely deactivate Galaxy App notifications. Unfortunately, however, this will also turn off useful notifications. As such, it's probably worth taking the time to keep Samsung's latest app promotion out of your notification drawer.
